Netflix's newest high-octane original is "Man on Fire," a fresh adaptation of the A.J. Quinnell novel that already inspired a 2004 movie fronted by Denzel Washington (it'll appear in our Denzel Watchathon at some point). In Netflix's new seven-part series, we meet John Creasy (played by "Wonder Man" star Yahya Abdul-Mateen II), a Special Forces soldier battling his demons who is keen to make a fresh start... but he finds himself at the heart of a new fight and working to protect a teen girl on the streets of Rio de Janeiro.
This explosive series might not have landed the strongest reviews, but it's remained one of the streamer's top watches ever since it landed on Netflix on Thursday, April 30, and seeing as the show's only seven episodes long, if you're a fan, there's a strong chance you've probably already binge-watched the entire thing.
