Residue is a British television series released by Netflix on March 31, 2015. The three-part series is directed by Alex Garcia Lopez, known for his work on series including Misfits and Utopia. Residue is a futuristic sci-fi thriller, which is centered around the life of photo-journalist Jennifer Preston after a mysterious explosion in the city center of a dystopian metropolis. The series has been dubbed into Spanish, German and French. Filming took place in Hong Kong, London and the Yorkshire area.

After a huge explosion in a nightclub on New Year's Eve, the government quarantines a large area of the city, citing a bioweapon contamination. Photo-journalist Jennifer Preston investigates a series of subsequent mysterious events occurring in the surrounding regions of this unnamed English metropolis. She encounters a web of lies concerning paranormal phenomena emanating from the quarantine zone, which the government is trying to keep secret.

Episode 1 After an explosion tears apart an English city, photo-journalist Jennifer Preston notices people acting strangely, and ghostly images in her pictures.

Episode 2 Jennifer has trouble convincing her boyfriend Jonas of the ghostly phenomena until he learns that his colleagues at the Home Office have lied to him.

Episode 3 When Jonas vanishes and police officer Levi Mathis becomes the prime suspect in a murder, Jennifer discovers that the conspiracy is greater than she ever imagined.
