Zorro (6.3 on IMDb)
Based on the fictional character created by Johnston McCulley, this Spanish action-adventure series is set in 1834 and centers on Diego de la Vega, a young landowner who returns to California after the murder of his father. Diego has only one goal – revenge, which he seeks disguised as Zorro, a masked vigilante who takes down the corrupt and evil and is a hero to the oppressed.
Red Queen (6.8 on IMDb)
Adapted from Juan Gómez-Jurado's novel of the same name, this Spanish thriller series follows Antonia Scott, the smartest person in the world with an IQ of over 240, who is forced to leave the comfort of her quiet lifestyle and solitude after the murder of a wealthy family's heir and the kidnapping of the heiress. Unwillingly, Antonia becomes involved in a secret police project of which she is the main asset.
My Lady Jane (7.0 on IMDb)
Based on Jodi Meadows, Brodi Ashton and Cynthia Hand's novel My Plain Jane, a historical re-imagining of the life of Lady Jane Grey, Queen Elizabeth I's cousin who became sovereign of England and Ireland for nine days in 1553, this historical fantasy drama tells the story of her marriage to Lord Guildford Dudley. With Jane somewhere in line for the throne, chaos and intrigue overwhelm her life. To make matters worse, there's a war going on between ordinary people and magicians who can transform themselves into animals.
Who Killed Him? (7.1 on IMDb)
This true-crime biopic offers an insight into the murder of the famous Mexican TV host Paco Stanley, which took place in 1999 and remains unsolved to this day. The six episodes of the series follow different characters, the people closest to Paco in life, as they share their accounts of the tragic events. Their testimonies lead to different conclusions and point to different suspects. And the intrigues of the celebrity world only make the situation more confusing.
The Silent Service (7.1 on IMDb)
Inspired by Kaiji Kawaguchi's manga series of the same name, this Japanese drama follows Shiro Kaieda, the commanding officer of a Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force submarine that collides with a US nuclear submarine. Fortunately, the crews survive and are rescued by the Seabat, a state-of-the-art nuclear submarine secretly built by the US and Japanese governments. Once aboard, Shiro Kaieda hijacks the ship when it turns out that the collision was a plan he devised to get aboard the Seabat.
