Winter Warmer Watchlist - Butterfly - Season One

Butterfly is one of the best Amazon spy/thriller series I've seen in a hot minute.

The six-episode series is based on the Boom! Studios graphic novel series created by Arash Amel, written by Amel and Marguerite Bennett, and illustrated by Antonio Fuso and Stefano Simeone.

Starring Daniel Dae Kim (who keeps it TIGHT AF) as David Jung, a former U.S. intelligence operative living in South Korea whose past resurfaces to threaten his life and family.

Also starring, Reina Hardesty, Park Hae-soo, Kim Tae-hee, Nayoon Kim, Piper Perabo, Louis Landau, Sean Dulake, Kim Ji-hoon, Charles Parnell, Sung Dong-il and Lee Il-hwa.

The action sequences across the series are second to none. Daniel Dae Kim is a national lead. With Butterfly mixing a complicated family drama, with some spy, action in the mix too.

Episode six also leaves you wanting so much more! And for now. On the topic of more Butterfly? There is zero news sadly.

I smashed through all six (short for Amazon) episodes. Compared to the other macho-action-Amazon series streaming now, Countdown, this is a far superior season. Short, sharp to the point. Where Countdown feels bloated at 13 long episodes.

Speaking of Amazon, next week, the final four (ever) episodes of Upload land for the fourth series. So much August TV, so little time!
