Winter Warmer Watchlist - The Waterfront - Season One/Series Final

The Waterfront comes from Dawson’s Creek TV royalty, Kevin Williamson. The Netflix series landed mid-June, by August, the series was canceled after one season.

Inspired by true events, The Waterfront, dives into the flawed Buckley family as their attempts to retain control of their crumbling North Carolina fishing empire drive them to increasingly dangerous means to keep themselves afloat.

Starring some recent TV gems, Holt McCallany, Maria Bello, Melissa Benoist, Jake Weary, Rafael L. Silva, Humberly González, Danielle Campbell, & Brady Hepner. Benoist is getting a reputation now for one and done series. After HBO Max's The Girls on the Bus was also shown the door last year.

The hunky, Rafael L. Silva also recently wrapped on 9-1-1's spinoff Lonestar, which will finally stream in Australia on Disney+ later this month.

Jake Weary would also be a familiar face for those who watched all seasons of Animal Kingdom. The US take on the classic Aussie film.

Grady kidnaps Bree and sails out to sea to exchange her for Harlan. 

Diller, who saw Bree's kidnapping, had stowed away in the bow and was discovered. Bree attempts to escape and is shot in the leg and thrown into the sea. Harlan, who was supposed to come out alone, successfully hides Cane and Shawn, who overtake Grady and his men. 

They rescue Bree and Diller. Grady taunts Cane as being weak, but Cane kills Grady, and he falls into the sea. To settle their debts and retain their land assets, the Buckleys make a deal with Emmett, agreeing to run drugs for them for one year. 

Emmett puts Belle in charge to oversee the Buckley operations. 

Sheriff Sawyer aligns with Harlan and disposes of all the evidence of the altercation.

While this wasn't perfect. The family drama was addictive, while also being super trashy! Netflix do need to work on a future strategy however. With huge series like Stranger Things wrapping (for good) soon, along with no more Squid Game, Heartbreak High also wrapping soon. They are running out of big name, well known, long(er) running series.

Well hopefully later today, I'm off to the movies! I will reveal my review early next week. See-ya!
