The Waterfront trailer isn't a peaceful fishing excursion

Kevin Williamson took his boat up Dawson’s Creek all the way to The Waterfront. The prolific screenwriter and showrunner clearly has a thing for water-based titles. He also loves some juicy network drama, which he’s bringing to The Waterfront in spades.
The Waterfront is about fishing, but don’t be fooled—this isn’t a Ron Swanson-approved, relaxing day on the water. The Netflix show’s new trailer starts with a punch in the face (literally), and features a couple more knockouts throughout. When the Buckley family—the down-on-their-luck lords of Havenport, North Carolina’s fishing empire—aren’t fighting each other physically, they’re sparring with their words. They’re also fighting the DEA, after declining patriarch Harlan Buckley (Holt McCallany) attempts to smuggle $10 million worth of cocaine and opiates. Maybe they should have stuck to fishing.
