Ares is full of rich, white members so her arrival certainly ruffles some feathers, and she soon discovers it isn't your typical secret society, as something scary and dark is chained up in the basement.
Coupled with a series of brutal suicides among its most promising members, Ares certainly makes for scary viewing that many viewers found hard to watch.
Taking to Twitter, one freaked out viewer wrote: "ares on netflix is so f***ing disturbing i can't finish it."
Another tweeted: "ok so has anybody watched Ares on netflix? cause im scared sh**less and i wanna know if i should keep watching or."
