Mindhunter’s Holt McCallany has returned, and this time, he is leading a gripping Netflix crime drama that has been watched for more than 74 million hours. The show, named The Waterfront, is not riding on nostalgia alone, and it is pulling people in with a raw, grounded story that is easy to binge and hard to forget.

What Is Netflix’s The Waterfront About?

McCallany, known for his role as FBI agent Bill Tench in Mindhunter, now plays Harlan Buckley, a weathered patriarch trying to hold onto a dying fishing empire in North Carolina. His family’s once solid livelihood is now surrounded by debt and danger, and as everything begins to fall apart, the Buckleys refuse to back down.

The show lacks any kind of mysterious gimmick or high-tech twist. It is a story about hardship and what desperation makes people do. What starts as a fight to save a business inevitably drifts into sad grimness.
