Trese has built a real following in Australia on Netflix, and in the US on Netflix among viewers who want their sci-fi to think as hard as it looks. Across 1 season, the show has had time to find its rhythm and keep it. 197 viewers have already rated it on TMDB — the kind of consensus that does not happen by accident. Shay Mitchell anchors it with a performance that grounds the bigger ideas in something human. Available now on Netflix — press play and find out why people keep recommending it.

There is a reason Trese keeps coming up in conversation. Trese uses its genre premise as cover for asking bigger questions. In Manila, where dark supernatural forces pervade the criminal underworld, it’s up to Alexandra Trese to keep the peace — but there’s a storm brewing. Shay Mitchell and Carlos Alazraqui lead a cast that makes the ambitious moments land. It was aired in 2021. Trese resists the temptation to explain everything, trusting the audience to sit with ambiguity. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

For late-night viewing or a proper weekend binge, Trese fits the bill. Fans of Grimm will recognise the sensibility here immediately. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch if your schedule allows. Watch for Shay Mitchell in particular — the performance elevates the material. Satisfying on multiple levels.

Trese was cancelled in 2021 — and 1 season is available to watch from start to finish. Find exactly where it's streaming below, and TV Butler Pro makes it effortless to track your progress as you go.
