Parasyte: The Grey is Netflix's latest number one show, racing up the streamer's chart since it was released this past Friday (April 5). The manga adaptation has beaten 3 Body Problem, a new sci-fi series from the creators of Game of Thrones, to the top spot in 45 countries.
Based on the manga Parasyte by Hitoshi Iwaaki and follows a group of parasitic creatures that fall to Earth from outer space and begin controlling humans. Except Jeong Su-in (Jeon So-nee), who manages to resist the parasite who latches onto her after a near-fatal traffic accident and is forced to coexist with the creature. Not quite human and not quite parasite, Su-in must find her place in a newly divided world. The series was directed and co-written by Train to Busan helmer Yeon Sang-ho and, despite being based on Japanese source material, it's based in South Korea.
