Here are some of the best shows released in 2024 on Netflix…
#1. The Gentlemen
Forget the A-listers from the movie! Netflix’s “The Gentlemen,” starring Theo James (known for “The White Lotus”), takes Guy Ritchie’s world of high-stakes weed empires and injects it with a fresh story.
#2. 3 Body Problem
The creators behind the epic fantasy series “Game of Thrones,” David Benioff and D. B. Weiss, take on a new genre with their latest project, “3 Body Problem.” This sci-fi thriller follows a team of brilliant scientists in a desperate race against time to prevent a devastating alien invasion. Based on the Hugo Award-winning novel by Cixin Liu, the series boasts a star-studded cast featuring Benedict Wong, Rosalind Chao, Jonathan Pryce, and Jovan Adepo.
#3. Gyeongseong Creature
Stealing the show just after Christmas, the South Korean historical thriller “Gyeongseong Creature” arrived on Netflix. Set in 1945 during the Japanese occupation, the series follows ordinary Koreans who encounter a terrifying monster lurking in the shadows. With a gripping first season, a second is already on the horizon for 2024.
#4. One Day
“One Day,” starring Ambika Mod and Leo Woodall, isn’t your typical love story. This film, based on David Nicholls’ novel, follows Emma and Dexter, two students whose connection ignites on a single day—July 15, 1988. The twist? We revisited them on that same day over the next two decades. Expect humor, heartbreak, and complex themes as their lives unfold amidst changing times and evolving emotions. Get ready for a whirlwind of love, loss, and the enduring power of connection.
#5. The Vince Staples Show
Rapper Vince Staples steps into the spotlight with his self-titled Netflix series. Forget cameos on “Abbott Elementary.” Here, everyone in his hometown knows him—maybe a little too well. The show’s a hilarious mix of surreal situations, from cops wanting him as a jail buddy to surprise relatives needing alibis. Think “Atlanta” meets Adult Swim—a perfect fit for Staples’ deadpan humor.
#6. Boy Swallows Universe
Netflix’s “Boy Swallows Universe” blends gritty realism with whimsical fantasy. Adapted from Trent Dalton’s novel, it follows Eli and Gus, two brothers braving a tough childhood in 1980s Australia. They face poverty, a troubled family, and their mom’s addiction, all while navigating the outer suburbs and the town’s criminal underbelly. Through it all, their bond and dark humor shine through. This coming-of-age story is a heartwarming tale of brotherhood wrapped in a touch of magic.
#7. The Brothers Sun
Think brutal brawls in spas, dusty showdowns at driving ranges, and Chinese restaurants reduced to rubble. The John Wick stunt team masterminds the mayhem, while Michelle Yeoh shines as a Triad boss in LA. Her eldest son, Charles (Justin Chien), embodies the family business, while the younger Bruce (Sam Song Li) dreams of improv comedy. This clash of cultures and generations explodes in a hilarious and action-packed thrill ride.
