Netflix's New 'Suspenseful' Series Terrifies Viewers

Netflix recently debuted one of its newest "suspenseful" sci-fi shows on the streaming platform and it's no secret from the looks of social media that it is terrifying viewers. If you've perused the streaming service lately, you've likely noticed Archive 81 in the most-watched categories. Though it has slipped out of the Top 10 since its Jan. 14 drop, the series revolves around an archivist (Mamoudou Athie) who "takes a job restoring damaged videotapes and gets pulled into the vortex of a mystery involving the missing director and a demonic cult."

Archive 81 is loosely based on a podcast of the same name, which was created by Daniel Powell and Marc Sollinger and starring Amelia Kidd. The Netflix series has been a hit with both critics and fans alike, ever since it debuted last month.
