A Killer Paradox: release date of Netflix serial killer comedy series, cast, trailer, and filming locations

Netflix K-drama A Killer Paradox is a dark comedy based around an accidental murderer of serial killers who is pursued by a relentless detective.

The eight part series follows Lee Tang, a young man who accidentally kills a stranger who had attacked him for no reason. Following the killing, Lee is shocked to discover that the man whose life he ended was a serial killer.

In a series of strange coincidences, Tang inadvertently dispatches several other people, all of whom turn out to be really bad guys. Lee begins to believe that he may be on a mission sent by a higher power to cleanse the world of its nastiest villains.
