Hemlock Grove
With all of the series that are created and distributed by streaming services, it’s hard to remember the first original series that existed. In 2013, Netflix released the first three original series, two of which being critically acclaimed: House of Cards and Orange is the New Black. The third is Netflix’s Hemlock Grove, which stands as the streaming service’s earliest failures in original content. Why? Let’s find out.

DetailsThe Dollhouse Family #1
The Dollhouse Family #1 (Carey, Gross, Locke, Peter, Klein) delivers the first chapter in a sprawling, multi-generational horror/mystery story that’s genuinely engrossing, with gorgeous artwork and enough connective tissue running between the two parallel plot-lines that I can’t wait to see how they inevitably come together.
