5 Netflix Series To Binge Watch This Summer Typewriter Gripping, atmospheric and jam-packed with jump scares, Sujoy Ghosh’s Hindi thriller is not for the faint-hearted. The five-part show follows a group of aspiring ghost hunters who set out to explore a haunted house in Goa. After a series of unexplainable deaths and the discovery of a mysterious book, the narrative takes a turn for the supernatural. Buoyed by social media buzz and rave reviews, it has won admirers the world over and heralds a promising new era for Indian horror. Dark Netflix’s first German-language original series has been compared to Twin Peaks thanks to mind-bending plot twists and an overwhelming sense of foreboding. Set in the fictional town of Winden, it centres on the disappearance of a child and the impact it has on four families. Season one, which dropped in 2017, was meticulously crafted by co-creators Baran bo Odar and Jantje Friese, and anchored by powerful performances from Louis Hofmann and Oliver Masucci. 2019’s season two amps up the tension and delves deeper into the minds of its characters. Kingdom Part period drama, part zombie horror, Kim Eun-hee and Kim Seong-hun’s South Korean hit tells the story of a crown prince battling to save his country from a monstrous plague. Its six episodes feature dramatic vistas and action-packed set pieces, reportedly costing over $1.78 million (£1.47 million) per instalment. Beyond the sheer spectacle, it’s laced with social satire, providing commentary on everything from power and political corruption to the Korean class system. Chilling Adventures of Sabrina Kiernan Shipka is enchanting as Sabrina Spellman in Netflix’s new adaptation of the Archie comic. As she reconciles her dual nature as a half-witch, half-mortal, there’s ample opportunity for magical hallucinations, dark baptisms and satanic coronations. The final product is a deliciously dark romp that holds its own against the Melissa Joan Hart-helmed 1990s sitcom.
