Seen THE QUEEN'S GAMBIT? Another Scott Frank, limited series, GODLESS, is just as good (Netflix). I thought nothing would beat THE TRIAL OF THE CHICAGO SEVEN, but this does. I've watched a lot of TV during this cursed year–I know I'm not alone–and the best of the best is THE QUEEN'S GAMBIT, on Netflix. Over the course of two Tweets, King gave recommendations for three titles, with two being Scott Frank’s two limited series released exclusively on Netflix. The Queen’s Gambit, Godless, and The Trial of the Chicago Seven MIDNIGHT MASS, on Netflix: Mike Flanagan has created a dense, beautifully photographed terror tale that climbs to a high pitch of horror by the 7th and last episode.
Mike Flanagan’s Midnight Mass is one of our favorite limited series of all time to hit Netflix, and thankfully, Stephen King agrees. Released on Netflix: September 24th, 2021 If you enjoy hardcore noir, you might like BORDERLINER, on Netflix. Four years following its release on Netflix, King gave it a recommendation. In the late 2010s, Netflix was on a tear picking up the international rights to Nordic crime thrillers, and Borderliner was one that no doubt slipped many people’s radar. Flying off to Mallorca mustn't have been cheap, even in 1989. I wonder, though, where Kleo's money came from. KLEO (Netflix): What a breath of fresh air! Suspenseful and also very funny. One of the shows that have flew under the radar on Netflix in 2022 has been Kleo, a German series that’s set after the fall of the Berlin wall and sees a former spy killer set free to embark revenge. Want a tight little thriller that will remind you of Ruth Rendell and Patricia Highsmith? Try I CAME BY (Netflix). This British thriller touched down on Netflix without much fanfare but has steadily been building up great reviews in the background, including from the king of thrillers himself.
This list doesn’t cover some of Stephen King’s work on Netflix, but it gives you an insight into other titles from the author that you’ll probably like if you enjoy his work.
