A Class Apart
At Sweden’s most elite boarding school, the Zebra Club is a secret society for super rich kids. The day after their hazing of two new members, one ends up dead. Met with walls of silence from the school community, heads turn to the local public school kids for leads on whodunnit. When one of her disadvantaged students is accused, Sara Boden (Aliette Opheim, Patriot, Fortitude) lashes out on social media, leading to her being offered a job at the upper class establishment to quell critics. She takes it, keen to go behind the walls and take down the power structure from within. This is a thrilling eight-parter from masters of television.

Sirius
Lovers of true crime, put this stranger-than-fiction French series on the top of your list.
