The Recruit
Starring Netflix’s golden boy Noah Centineo as lead man Owen Hendricks, The Recruit is an action-packed series set to breathe new life into the spy-adventure genre. Rookie lawyer Hendricks is just starting out at his new job at the Central Intelligence Agency, and is instantly thrust into serious espionage business. An imprisoned former agency asset has hounded the CIA with letters threatening to expose the well-kept secrets of her relationship with them unless they clear her name — and easygoing Hendricks is the man for the job, apparently. Running the course of eight hour-long episodes, The Recruit marks the beginning of Centineo’s Netflix renaissance and an exciting evolution past teenage rom-coms.

Money Heist: Korea — Joint Economic Area Part 2
The Professor’s scheming continues. Based on the original Spanish crime drama Money Heist; this Korean adaptation (and partial spin-off) for the most part, takes on the same characters and plot line. However, its backdrop of a North and South Korea on the cusp of fictional reunification adds another dimension to the relationships between the characters. With the introduction of a new crew member “Seoul”, season two will see the cerebral Professor and his gang complete the heist as authorities’ grip tightens.
