Best Dark Dramas on Streaming Right Now
My personal list — the slow-burn, character-driven, morally murky dramas that are worth your weekend.
Breaking Bad
Still the gold standard.
When Walter White, a New Mexico chemistry teacher, is diagnosed with Stage III cancer and given a prognosis of only two years left to live, he becomes filled with a sense of fearlessness and an unrelenting desire to secure his family's financial future at any cost.
Better Call Saul
Maybe even better than its parent.
Six years before Saul Goodman meets Walter White. We meet him when the man who will become Saul Goodman is known as Jimmy McGill.
Parasite
Genre-bending, never lets up.
All unemployed, Ki-taek's family takes peculiar interest in the wealthy and glamorous Parks for their livelihood until they get entangled in an unexpected incident.
Severance
Eerie, restrained, brilliant.
Mark leads a team of office workers whose memories have been surgically divided between their work and personal lives.
