Welcome to Eden is a dystopian-thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat. The Netflix original series just rocketed up the most-watched lists worldwide — and for good reason. The Spanish show tells the story of young people invited to the most exclusive party in history, set in a secret island and organized by the brand of a new drink. But while they’re there, things take a sinister, cult-esque turn and they discover that their dream vacation will be anything but relaxing. The first season consists of eight episodes, with runtimes ranging between 36-46 minutes long. Word of caution: You may want to clear your schedule before you hit play — the binge-worthy show has had some of us canceling plans left and right.
