Top Boy boasts an intriguing behind-the-scenes production history. Initially a British Channel 4 series, it was discontinued after two seasons, only to be picked up by Netflix six years later, thanks to Drake's involvement, who eventually served as the show's executive producer.
Apparently, the decision to revive the show was a wise move. The tale of two London drug dealers navigating the criminal underworld has been lauded by critics and audiences alike, with the final season, which debuted in September 2023, earning a 100% Rotten Tomatoes score.
Castlevania: Nocturne (Season 1)
Based on the titular video game, Nocturne is a standalone sequel to Netflix's Castlevania series. The animated dark fantasy narrates the story of a young vampire hunter and his adoptive sister as they embark on a mission to prevent the apocalypse triggered by the rise of a formidable Vampire Messiah.
The show debuted on Netflix in late September and was renewed for a second season earlier this month.
Kohrra (limited series)
This Indian show is both a crime thriller and a police procedural. It traces the case of a newlywed who is murdered a few days after his wedding. The two police officers probing the crime must sort out their personal issues to crack the case.
Kohrra premiered on July 15, 2023.
Full Swing (Season 1)
This documentary, which charts the highs and lows of the lives and careers of professional golfers, was launched in February of this year to critical and popular acclaim. Apparently, you don't have to be a PGA Tour fan to enjoy the show.
Season 2 is expected to arrive on the platform sometime next year.
