This week, Netflix is telling a powerful tale of survival, with a lineup of new shows that showcase the incredible resilience of the human spirit in the face of overwhelming odds. From dystopian landscapes to abusive relationships, these stories are a testament to the will to endure.
The theme of survival is most literal in the third season of the Japanese sci-fi hit Alice in Borderland. The characters are thrown into a deadly world where they must fight for their lives every day, demonstrating incredible ingenuity, strength, and a desperate will to live against a system designed to kill them.
A different but equally intense tale of survival unfolds in Angela. This six-part Spanish thriller is the story of a woman’s fight to survive an abusive marriage and reclaim her life. It’s a powerful and suspenseful look at the emotional and psychological resilience required to endure and escape such a terrifying situation.
In House of Guinness, the survival is of a different kind: the survival of a legacy. This eight-part period drama from the creators of Peaky Blinders shows the lengths to which the Guinness family will go to ensure their empire endures, even if it means destroying each other.
The struggle to endure an immortal and often painful existence is at the heart of Interview With The Vampire (Season 2 arriving September 30). And the couples of Love is Blind (Season 9 premiering October 1) must fight for their relationships to survive the harsh realities of the outside world.
