With Vi's Netflix-inclusive plans, you won't need to worry about extra costs or buffering woes while you binge. So, let’s get started!

Craving A Gripping Crime Drama?

Sacred Games:

Set in the gritty underbelly of Mumbai, a world-weary police officer receives a cryptic tip-off from a wanted gangster with just 25 days to save the city. Told across two timelines, it weaves corruption, faith, and fate into a slow-burning, atmospheric thriller that'll keep you hooked till the very end.

Money Heist:

Originally a Spanish series, Money Heist follows a criminal mastermind known as The Professor as he assembles a team of several thieves to pull off the country's biggest heist at the Royal Mint of Spain. Packed with clever twists, tense stand-offs, and unforgettable red jumpsuits, it's pure edge-of-your-seat entertainment.

Narcos:

The show takes you into the ruthless world of the Colombian drug trade, chronicling the rise and fall of Pablo Escobar and the DEA agents determined to bring him down. Blending real archival footage with gripping dramatisation, it offers a chillingly authentic look at one of history's most notorious criminal empires.

Fancy Something with a Supernatural Twist?

Stranger Things:

Set in the town of Hawkins, Indiana, Stranger Things follows a group of kids who stumble upon secret government experiments, terrifying supernatural forces, and a strange girl with telekinetic powers. Steeped in 80s nostalgia, it's an irresistible mix of horror, adventure, and heartfelt friendship that will win your heart instantly.

Dark:

Dark is a German series set in the small town of Winden, where the disappearance of children unravels a mind-bending mystery involving time travel across three generations. Moody, intricate, and endlessly rewarding, it's ideal if you enjoy mysteries that demand your full attention and reward repeated viewings.

Wednesday:

The show follows Wednesday Addams as she navigates life at Nevermore Academy, honing her abilities while investigating a monstrous killing spree that's terrorised the town. Sharp-witted, gothic, and stylish, it's a deliciously fun watch that balances dark humour with genuine mystery and coming-of-age charm.

In The Mood for Something Thought-Provoking?

The Queen's Gambit:

Set during the Cold War, the show follows Beth Harmon, an orphaned chess prodigy, as she rises through the male-dominated world of competitive chess while battling addiction and personal demons. Visually stunning and emotionally rich, it's a beautifully crafted character study that'll stay with you long after the final move is played.

Adolescence:

The show explores the aftermath of a shocking crime involving a teenage boy, examining family and the pressures young people face growing up online. Shot with striking, immersive long takes, it's an intense, deeply moving watch that sparks important conversations you'll likely carry with you afterward.

Baby Reindeer:

This is a darkly comic and unsettling drama that follows a struggling comedian whose life spirals after an unexpected act of kindness draws the attention of an obsessive stalker. Raw, uncomfortable, and brilliantly performed, it's unlike anything else you'll find on the platform.

Squid Game:

This Korean show centres on hundreds of cash-strapped contestants who accept an invitation to compete in deadly children's games for a life-changing cash prize. Visually striking and socially sharp, it's a brutal commentary on class and desperation that became a global phenomenon almost overnight, and rightly so.
