A new Netflix release, Black Knight is a dystopian series that takes place in 2071. In this world, everyone must wear face masks due to severe pollution. Adapted from a webtoon where the surviving human population stands at 1%, the story follows 5-8, a “delivery man” who’s skilled at fighting. His job is to help refugees find settlements in a society where a single corporation controls access to clean oxygen. Watch as the story unfolds as 5-8 meets a little boy named Sa-wol, an aspiring delivery man.
Based on a webtoon of the same name, Bloodhounds unites two opposing boxers — Geon-woo and Woo-jin — when they need to contend with loan sharks. While paying off a debt is one obstacle, the pair must dive into an underworld filled with greed, violence and one boss who’s surprisingly altruistic. Not everything goes smoothly, however. Watch all eight episodes on Netflix now.
