Netflix, 3:00 a.m. ET

 

SERIES PREMIERE: This new eight-part series was announced by Netflix only earlier this week, and drops today like a surprise Beyoncé album, all at once with little advance warning. It stars Brit Marling as a young woman named Prairie, who’s seen in the opening scene – captured on video from a camera phone – as she walks to the edge of a bridge and slides off. She survived the fall – but somehow, survived a lot more, too, including experiences that are a lot more mysterious and spooky. I’m not hiding any secrets from you, really. I’ve watched only the first hour, and everything, including the meaning of the title, remains unsolved at this point.
