Answer: Vampires

The vampire-oriented TV series "What We Do in the Shadows" was produced by FX and was based on the film of the same name, which was created by New Zealanders Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi. The TV version featured four vampires living in a house in Staten Island, along with a familiar and other vampiric and non-vampiric acquaintances.
2. Interview with a Vampire

In 2023, it was nominated for Best Horror Series, Limited Series or TV Movies by the Critics' Choice.
3. Midnight Mass

Answer: Vampires

You might not expect a charismatic young priest of being a vampire -- but that's who showed up in a small island community to wreak havoc in the series "Midnight Mass." It debuted on Netflix in 2021. Series writers Mike Flanagan, James Flanagan, and Jeff Howard won the Bram Stoker Award for Superior Achievement in a Screenplay for the episode "Book VI: Acts of the Apostles."
4. Belgravia

Answer: 1800s

The 19th century shows up on television often, perhaps because the luscious costumes and sets are exciting to create. Released in 2020 by ITV and Epic, "Belgravia" demonstrated friction between nouveau rich and old aristocracy in an affluent neighborhood of London.
5. The Irregulars

Answer: 1800s

One of the most popular fictional characters living in the 1800s is Sherlock Holmes; in "The Irregulars," Holmes's underground amateur sleuths, the Baker Street Irregulars, worked with Dr. Watson to find the missing detective. Its eight episodes appeared on Netflix in 2021.
6. Bridgerton

Answer: 1800s

Shonda Rhimes' "Bridgerton" appeared on Netflix in 2020, depicting the exciting social seasons that took place in the 1800s in certain British societies. Two of the stars included Adjoa Andoh who played Lady Danbury and Julie Andrews who provided the voice of Lady Whistledown, the author of a scandalous society newsletter.
7. The Stand

Answer: Stephen King adaptation

Stephen King's "The Stand" returned to screens in 2021 as a mini-series starring James Marsden as Stu Redman, Odessa Young as Frannie Goldsmith, Alexander Skarsgård as Randall Flagg, and Whoopi Goldberg as Mother Abagail. King has been quoted as saying it was difficult to turn the 1,000-plus page novel to the screen in any format.
8. The Outsider

Answer: Stephen King adaptation

Stephen King's novel "The Outsider" turned into a mini-series that appeared on HBO in 2020. Jason Bateman was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series for his portrayal of a little league coach arrested for murder.

It started as a standard-seeming whodunit but then supernatural elements appeared -- it has been compared to Netflix's hit "Stranger Things" in that way.
9. Chapelwaite

Answer: Stephen King adaptation

Stephen King was also behind the television series "Chapelwaite," though you wouldn't know it for its name. It was based on King's novella "Jerusalem's Lot." "Chapelwaite" appeared on Epix in 2021, and, while it differed from much of the original source, it was still about a man inheriting a home in a small town and learning some awful secrets about the local history and his family's role in it.

Answer: Opioids = addictive

14. The Fall of the House of Usher

Answer: Opioids = addictive

Opioids and greed are the roots of evil in this series based on a mix of Edgar Allan Poe stories.

It was released by Netflix in 2023.
15. Painkiller

Answer: Opioids = addictive

Netflix's series on the opioid epidemic was "Painkiller," released in 2023. It looked at the crisis from the point of view of the Sackler family, who created and marketed the drug, as well as a father who became addicted to it, a young medical sales person who became caught up in the money the crisis brought in, and a persistent lawyer who was undaunted by the Sackler family's power and wealth.
