Eullenia (Amazon Prime)
Eullenia is the first co-production between the UK and Thailand. This six-episode series is filmed in Thailand, and that alone is worth the watch.
Unfortunately, there are only three of the six episodes getting released today because of COVID-related delays, but it's a very interesting show starring a lot of Thai talent.
This psychological thriller speaks the unspeakable behaviors of the top 0.001% of the world. Think people like Jeffrey Epstein and Harvey Weinstein.
Since experts have estimated that up to 12% of CEOs exhibit psychopathic traits, we need to pay more attention to who is running our world.
Eullenia features one such man, Marcus Hammond, the CEO of a financial empire who relishes in the art of the perfect deal. His deals, though, aren't for the squeamish.
It's a super watchable show, and you'll want to see it through to the end, whenever that might be. Check out a trailer now.
