Wayward, Season One

A chilling puzzle in the pines

Netflix’s first season of Wayward is a slow-burning psychological mystery that proves the scariest monsters are often human. Created by and starring Mae Martin, the series follows a trans police officer and his pregnant wife (Sarah Gadon) as they return to her eerie hometown. There is an unsettling boarding school for “wayward” teens, ruled by Toni Collette’s unnervingly composed Evelyn. The show excels in atmosphere: lush forests, eerie silences, and an undercurrent of dread. Though its finale wobbles slightly, the performances shine. Wayward rewards patience with a creeping unease that lingers long after the credits roll. Now streaming on Netflix across Europe.

The Woman in Cabin 10

Murder and madness on a mega yacht

Keira Knightley sails through Netflix’s The Woman in Cabin 10 with charisma and poise, playing a journalist who witnesses something sinister aboard a billionaire’s yacht. Based on Ruth Ware’s bestselling 2016 novel, it’s a glossy mystery that leans into its absurdity with a wink. Director Simon Stone crafts a breezy 95-minute thriller that packs quite a punch. Hannah Waddingham steals several scenes as a boozy, razor-sharp socialite. It’s a guilty-pleasure voyage of twists, gaslighting, and chic fashion. Now streaming on Netflix across Europe.
