TV Series New to Netflix

‘The Spy’

Starts streaming: September 6

The British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen has taken on the occasional dramatic role throughout his career, but he’s never starred in any project quite like “The Spy,” a six-part cloak-and-dagger thriller co-written and directed by Gideon Raff, the creator of the influential Israeli series “Prisoners of War.” Cohen plays Eli Cohen, the real-life Mossad agent who in the early 1960s gathered actionable intelligence in Syria, helping his country prevail in the 1967 Six-Day War. A character-driven piece, “The Spy” is partly about the modern history of the Middle East, but even more about the personal toll of undercover missions.

‘Unbelievable’

Starts streaming: September 13

Based on a true story, the mini-series “Unbelievable” features two intertwining narratives: one about a teenage girl (played by Kaitlyn Dever) who can’t get the local authorities to believe she was sexually assaulted by a home invader; and one about two detectives (played by Toni Collette and Merritt Wever) investigating the scattered crimes of a possible serial rapist. Created by the Oscar-nominated “Erin Brockovich” screenwriter Susannah Grant — with input from the best-selling authors and spouses Ayelet Waldman and Michael Chabon — “Unbelievable” is a procedural drama that doubles as a critique of how some American police departments investigate rape.
