Netflix’s Elite Series Pick: Binge Dangerous Liaisons This Week, Oct. 31-Nov. 1

A drama gets another chance

Dangerous Liaisons joined Netflix on October 27. The Starz series draws loosely on Pierre Choderlos de Laclos’ novel and traces the beginnings of Marquise de Merteuil, played by Alice Englert, and the Vicomte de Valmont, played by Nicholas Denton.

The pair use seduction to gain power over people around them. The eight-part drama was initially renewed for a second season, but Starz later canceled it, and efforts to find another home reportedly came to nothing.

Now its Netflix release could bring the BAFTA-nominated series to a fresh audience. The show’s return to a streaming catalog offers a new possibility for viewers to discover it.

Netflix enters a new month

The article frames the show as one of three Netflix recommendations for the weekend as October ends. It also points to upcoming content for November, including the planned debut of Obsession, described as a viral 2026 horror sensation.

Another Netflix title mentioned is Nobody Wants This, whose third season features Adam Brody and Kristen Bell. Collider reviewer Meredith Loftus said the show was “finally hitting its stride,” while the article wonders whether its success will continue into November.

Unrelated fandom passages

The text then shifts away from Netflix recommendations into descriptions of four entertainment fandoms. It discusses Hogwarts, Middle-earth, Star Wars and Star Trek, focusing on the different kinds of community and debate associated with each.

The passages portray Harry Potter fans as drawn to belonging and comfort, and Tolkien fans as invested in a vast world and its themes. Star Wars is presented as a broad, argumentative community, while Star Trek is described as appealing to viewers who enjoy ethical questions and optimism about the future.
