Hidden Gems on Netflix You Shouldn't Miss
Netflix has a trio of shows that might have slipped under your radar, but they're worth your time. Let's dive in!
1. Mob War: Philadelphia vs. The Mafia
A Gripping True Crime Docuseries
This three-part series takes a deep dive into a real-life power struggle that went down in the early '90s. It all started with the arrest of mob boss Nicky Scarfo in 1986. The New York mafia wanted John Stanfa to take over, but the Philly mob had other ideas. They backed Joey Merlino, and that's when things got bloody. The FBI was hot on their trail, trying to gather evidence to take down both sides. This show features interviews with investigators and survivors, giving you a front-row seat to the chaos.
2. The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon
A Heartfelt Spinoff Journey
This spinoff originally focused on Daryl Dixon, played by Norman Reedus, but season 2 brought back Melissa McBride as Carol Peletier. Here's the twist: Carol doesn't know Daryl has been taken to Europe. She's on a mission to find her friend and bring him home. It's a heartfelt journey that explores their bond and the lengths Carol will go to for Daryl.
3. Parish
A New Series Starring Giancarlo Esposito
Giancarlo Esposito plays Gray Parish, a man with a criminal past and top-notch driving skills. After the death of his son, Gray is emotionally distant from his wife and drowning in debt. His old friend convinces him to do one last job for a crime boss, but in the criminal world, there's no such thing as "one last job." Gray is back in the game, and it's unclear if he'll ever get out.
These shows offer a mix of drama, action, and true crime, perfect for a weekend binge. So, grab some snacks and get ready to dive in!
