Netflix’s “Hellbound” has been named the best horror series of 2021 by Rotten Tomatoes.
Director Yeon Sang-ho’s “Hellbound” ranked first in the 2021 Golden Tomato Best Horror Series category. “Hellbound” is a Netflix series depicting the story of a supernatural phenomenon in which people are sentenced to hell without notice, and those who want to reveal the reality of the revived religious group New Truth Society.
