Rebecca Sonnenshine, Archive 81 (2022)

“An archivist hired to restore a collection of tapes finds himself reconstructing the work of a filmmaker and her investigation into a dangerous cult.”    —IMDb

In the 2022 Netflix series, the protagonist, Dan Turner (played by Mamoudou Athie), is tasked by his employer, Virgil Davenport, with restoring video footage documenting a New York apartment building fire. One resident of the apartment building, Beatriz Reyes, has the ability to commune with the dead.

In addition to the character names, redditors and bloggers have identified what they see as clear references to the Inferno throughout the show.
