Based on the bestselling book by Koji Suzuki that spawned so many of these damn horror movies, this will stick closer to the book as a Netflix Original Series, while changing some things to the series. Plot of the series: When a young girl mysteriously receives a videotape on her front porch one day, she opens it and reads a message "Watch Me." Thinking this is some sick joke from her friends, she instantly watches the tape and sees some weird footage in the tape. At the end, it says "You will die in seven days." Running out of time and needing help to see what she can do, she visits her father's old friend, Asakawa, a journalist who's niece died from the same fate that she was watching the tape as well. She and Asakawa call up an expert, Ryuji, who knows about all things paranormal. Running out time, they must figure out the mystery of the tape before more lives are lost.
