I was pointed to this by Bidie, and am glad for it. I won't say much about the actual plot, except the publicly available description:
Set in 1899, it follows a group of European migrants travelling from London on the steamship Kerberos to start new lives in New York City. The passengers are united in optimism about what the future holds until they encounter another migrant ship, the Prometheus, adrift on the open sea. A hitherto uncomplicated journey to the promised land turns into a horrifying nightmare of staggering proportions. It is a very international series, with lots of languages and subtitles.
For those of you who are not into Greek Mythology, Kerberos is another spelling of Cerberus, the hound of Hades, is a multi-headed dog that guards the gates of the Underworld to prevent the dead from leaving. All I can say is that, anybody who buys a ticket to travel on a ship named Kerberos, shouldn't be surprised that they end up with an eight part Netflix series, described as a mystery thriller/horror. Another thing that I discovered is that it is, in part inspired by Brexit, though not the horror aspect:
I am already up to episode three.

“The whole European angle was very important for us, not only story wise but also the way we were going to produce it,” says Friese. “It really had to be a European collaboration, not just cast but also crew. We felt that with the past years of Europe being on the decline, we wanted to give a counterpoint to Brexit, and to nationalism rising in different countries, to go back to that idea of Europe and Europeans working and creating together.”
