“The Waterfront” is the latest crime drama to premiere on Netflix, one that was inspired by creator Kevin Williamson’s real life. The eight-episode drama follows the Buckley family, who see their business empire crumble in a fictional North Carolina town, leading them to turn to criminal activity to stay afloat.

Of course, all is not what it seems with the Buckleys.
