As their storied North Carolina fishing empire decays, the damaged Buckleys grapple to revive their imperiled maritime heritage. The Waterfront is a new crime drama on Netflix, and feels just a tad familiar… is it worth the watch? Welcome to Havenport, where the tides bring more than just fish. In this spoiler-free review of The Waterfront, Netflix’s gritty new crime drama, I dive deep into the Buckley family’s unraveling empire. Think Ozark meets Bloodline, with a splash of Dynasty-level betrayal. Created by Kevin Williamson (Scream, Dawson’s Creek), this series blends Southern gothic vibes, cartel chaos, and family dysfunction into one binge-worthy storm. From Holt McCallany’s brooding patriarch to Melissa Benoist’s raw portrayal of a daughter clawing her way back from addiction, The Waterfront doesn’t hold back.
