Thrash Delivers Compact, Gory Shark Thrills on Netflix

Tommy Wirkola’s Thrash is a lean, 86-minute Netflix shark thriller that channels Jaws while delivering brisk, gory set-pieces. Set in a flooded South Carolina town after Hurricane Henry, it follows pregnant Lisa (Phoebe Dynevor) and teen survivor Dakota (Whitney Peak) as a hungry bull shark hunts through the submerged streets, with Djimon Hounsou providing ballast as a marine biologist. The kills arrive with visceral gusto, but the film’s tight runtime and staging keep the suspense steady, making Thrash a familiar yet competently executed Netflix chiller.

OPLA Could Stretch Beyond Three Seasons as Netflix Bets on One Piece's Long Run

Netflix’s live‑action One Piece (OPLA) is planned for at least three seasons, but a longer run is being debated. The article notes OPLA’s high production cost and manga-length scope, with showrunners hinting at a multi‑year future depending on audience retention and economics. Season 1 covered East Blue, Season 2 ended at Drum Island, and Season 3 will complete Alabasta and may set up Jaya. An eight‑season plan could reach Jaya, Sky Island, Water 7, Enies Lobby, Thriller Bark, and Sabaody, potentially pushing into post‑time-skip arcs and a possible ninth season. The series will skip anime‑only filler and stick to the manga, while renewal beyond Season 3 will hinge on performance—S1 drew over 60M views in 40 days, and S2’s retention sits at about two‑thirds of S1. In short: three seasons are currently on the books, but a longer adaptation is plausible if popularity and cost allow.
