“It’s about a hardworking man trying to provide for his family. They came from nothing and built this small fishing empire in a little town,” the creator told Netflix’s Tudum portal.

“Now it’s being taken away from them, bit by bit. They’ll do whatever it takes to hold onto it, because it represents who they are,” Williamson continued.

“Started watching last night, binged 6 episodes. Really good!” said one user in a Netflix subscriber Facebook group.

“Totally worth it if you like action and death,” added another.

The streaming giant has not yet confirmed if “The Waterfront” will have a continuation.
