Netflix is known for its suspenseful thrillers, offering a wide range of options. From fast-paced action series like Bodyguard and The Night Agent to gripping crime dramas such as Narcos and Ozark, and even supernatural mysteries like Dark (often compared to Twin Peaks), there’s something for everyone. While Netflix has many excellent thrillers, these titles stand out as the very best.

The trailer suggests the story will largely focus on Stacy, and Pfeiffer and Russell already share a strong connection on screen.
