The Waterfront is a major new Netflix series about a family whose once-thriving fishing and restaurant empire is on the verge of collapse.
Set in the fictional coastal town of Havenport in North Carolina and inspired by true events, we follow the fortunes of the Buckleys over eight parts.
As patriarch Harlan Buckley recovers from two heart attacks, his wife Belle and son Cane turn to drug smuggling. But when one of their boats washes ashore with the crew missing, they come under investigation.
Written and executive produced by Kevin Williamson (Scream, Dawson's Creek), it promises to be one of the best Netflix shows of the year.
