Be warned: danger lurks around every corner in Netflix’s thrilling new lineup of shows this week. From the treacherous boardrooms of 19th-century Dublin to the deadly game arenas of modern Tokyo, the latest releases are filled with peril, suspense, and characters fighting for their lives.
The danger is subtle but ever-present in House of Guinness. In this eight-part period drama from the creators of Peaky Blinders, the battle for the Guinness family fortune is a civilized but ruthless war. Reputations can be destroyed, alliances can be broken, and fortunes can be lost with a single misstep.
The danger is overt and deadly in the third season of Alice in Borderland. In this Japanese sci-fi series, the threat of death is constant. The characters are forced to navigate a series of brutal games where survival is never guaranteed, and danger can come from anywhere at any time.
In the six-part Spanish thriller Angela, the danger comes from the one person who is supposed to be a protector: a husband. This psychological drama is a chilling look at the terror of being trapped in an abusive relationship, where the home itself becomes a dangerous prison.
The seductive danger of immortality is explored in the second season of Interview With The Vampire (arriving September 30), a world where passion and violence are intertwined. And the emotional danger of heartbreak looms large in Love is Blind Season 9 (premiering October 1), where contestants put their hearts on the line.
