The Divorce Insurance (Prime Video, Mar 31)

Pulse (Netflix, Apr 3)

Netflix’s first medical procedural drama series — from Emmy-feted producer Carlton Cuse (Lost) and writer Zoe Robyn (Hawaii Five-0) — follows a third-year resident (The Fall of the House of Usher’s Willa Fitzgerald) “as she juggles mounting relationship tensions (she’s shagging a colleague played by The Continental: The World of John Wick’s Colin Woodell) alongside the high stakes of working in an emergency room in Miami… in the middle of a hurricane.

The Bondsman (Prime Video, Apr 3)

Kevin Bacon plays a slain bounty hunter who returns from the dead to help the Devil — his resurrector/benefactor, by the way — run his errands. You know, catch demons that have escaped from Hell. It sounds like a cross between RIPD (Bacon was in that one) and Supernatural but with extra serving of Evil Dead-level gore and rock n’ roll (the soundtrack is by Bacon’s band).

Karma (Netflix, Apr 4)

Based on a webtoon of the same name, this six-part series follows six people — including Squid Game’s Park Hae-soon as a witness to a n accident and Our Blues’ Shin Min-a as a doctor suffering from a childhood trauma, and Lee Kwang-soo as a doctor whose life is on a free fall  —  whose fateful decisions plunge them into a relentless cycle of retribution. In other words: mess with karma and karma will return the favour twofold. Or something like that.
