It stars Phoebe Dynevor, who played Daphne on the first season of Bridgerton.
She plays a very pregnant woman named Lisa who ends up trapped in a storm.
A hurricane that ends up flooding her coastal town with sharks.
Before we really get to what Thrash is, and in order to accurately place this movie in various canons, I have to clarify an important piece of history, if you will indulge me.
The most attention-grabbing part of Sharknado, the movie that aired on SyFy in 2013, was the title, which suggested a tornado made of sharks, right?
For the most part, though, Sharknado is about exactly what Thrash is about.
A storm that creates floods.
The sharks end up in everybody's streets and houses and businesses and so on.
So really, Thrash is best understood as Netflix's Sharknado.
Although it's not as self-enserious as Sharknado was.
It's not as kind of winking at its ridiculousness as Sharknado.
Tonally, it's quite a bit like, perhaps unsurprisingly, a bit like the last shark movie that I watched on Netflix, which was Under Paris, which came out in 2024.
That one involved a shark in the Seine interrupting a swimming race in the Seine.
