Sofia Vergara stars in new Netflix series Griselda from the creators of Narcos. Based on the life of Griselda Blanco (although the show plays a little fast and loose with the facts), Vergara takes on the role of the Colombian drug lord who became known as the Cocaine Godmother as she builds one of the most powerful cartels in history in '70s and '80s Miami. All six episodes of the crime drama are available to stream now.

Expats follows an insular community of wealthy expatriates based in Hong Kong whose lives are all thrown out of kilter by a chance encounter. Nicole Kidman heads up the ensemble cast that also includes Jack Huston (Boardwalk Empire), Ji-young Yoo (The Sky is Everywhere), and Sarayu Rao (Never Have I Ever). Based on the novel The Expatriates by Janice Y. K. Lee, the series was created and directed by Lulu Wang, who previously helmed The Farewell (featuring Awkwafina in a career-best performance). The first two episodes are available to stream now, with the rest dropping every Friday.
