Love conquers hatred in a sixpart adaptation of Heather Morris’s best-selling novel, which is based on the true story of Auschwitz survivor Lali Sokolov.
Six decades after the horrors of the Second World War, octogenarian Lali (Harvey Keitel) confronts ghosts of his past and shares his story with aspiring writer Heather Morris (Melanie Lynskey).

Lali is assigned the role of tattooist and pens the inked identification numbers onto the arms of fellow prisoners.

Goodbye Earth (12 episodes, streaming from April 26 exclusively on Netflix)
Terror comes from the sky in a 12-part South Korean scifi drama based on the novel Shumatsu No Furu by Kotaro Isaka. Nasa announces an asteroid, named Dina, is heading straight for Earth and will impact the Korean Peninsula in 200 days. Anyone living in the predicted impact area will be killed. While some people wholeheartedly believe the devastating news and panic, others like middle school teacher Ms Jin (Ahn Eunjin) try to maintain calm for the sake of her students in Woongcheon City.
As the clock ticks down to Dina’s arrival, incarcerated criminals escape from prison, cults exert a vicelike grip over followers and civilians search for safe havens from the blast.
