A new Netflix crime drama being compared to hit miniseries Adolescence has scored perfect Rotten Tomatoes ratings.

The latter – a hit TV series from Stephen Graham – premiered in March and went on to receive critical acclaim.

With each episode shot in just one take, it followed the story of teenage boy Jamie (Owen Cooper) who is accused of murdering a fellow classmate.

Adolescence has been praised for its bold storytelling and nuanced exploration of youth violence, social media influence and family dynamics.

Adolescence amassed a huge 66.3 million views within its first two weeks, setting a new record for the most-watched limited series on Netflix during that period.

By early April, the series had reached 96.7 million views, placing it ninth on Netflix’s all-time most popular English-language TV list, ahead of titles like Stranger Things season three and Bridgerton season two.

Now, Netflix subscribers reckon a new Danish crime series is on-par – or as some claim, more shocking – than Adolescence.

The six-parter only just premiered on May 15 but has dominated the Netflix global charts.

Created by Ingeborg Topsøe and directed by Per Fly, the series delves into the mysterious disappearance of Ruby Tan, a young Filipino au pair, in an affluent Copenhagen suburb.

As local mom Cecilie (Marie Bach Hansen), investigates Ruby’s vanishing, she uncovers unsettling truths about her community – including the complexities of privilege, racial bias and institutional failure.

The series is called The Secrets We Keep – and you can watch its trailer here:

The series has quickly racked up a 100 percent Rotten Tomatoes score, awarded by critics. Some claimed the series handled its dark – but very real – themes even better than Adolescence.

And taking to social media people were quick to draw comparisons between the two series.

Posting to X (formerly Twitter), one viewer urged: “The Secrets We Keep is not just a Nordic crime series. The layered social commentary is heartbreaking. Reminded me of Adolescence in many ways. Do watch.”

“There’s a Danish series on Netflix called Secrets We Keep. If you thought Adolescence was something educational, this is another level,” a second agreed.

The series scored a perfect 10/10 from critics (Netflix)

Others praised the show, as one viewer wrote: “Netflix limited series are so good what the heck… Secrets We Keep was *chefs kiss*.”

Meanwhile, another described it as ‘a slow burn visual of privilege that comes with power imbalance and the class differences in the Nordic culture.’

Secrets We Keep is streaming now on Netflix.

Netflix shows are always guaranteed to have some kind of bonkers plot.

Whether it be Baby Reindeer, Orange is the New Black, or Squid Game, the one thing that seems to link hit Netflix shows is that they have certifiably insane plots and twists.

A new Netflix show has exactly that, with a bonkers plot that is leaving viewers hooked.

The conceit of the show is that the lead is a woman who is pregnant with two babies from two different fathers, one of whom she cheated on with the other.

The most shocking part of that? It isn’t some made up sci-fi plot, but something that can actually happen.

‘Heteropaternal superfecundation’ occurs when someone is pregnant with two different babies, both from different fathers.

It involves a complicated biological process, but essentially boils down to hyperovulation, when more than one egg is released in the same month, as opposed to two.

All this to say, the bonkers plot of this show is absolutely possible (can you imagine the drama).

Unsurprisingly, this insane plot has grabbed viewers attention, with several calling it a must watch Netflix show.

Check out the trailer:

The Netflix show in question is called Desperate Lies, and it’s a Brazilian show that has dropped on the streamer last week – and is already in the top 10 in the US.

The show stars Juliana Paes as the woman in question with two babies, one born of her relationship and the other born of her affair.

Fans have been raving about it, with one posting on Twitter:

“Desperate Lies on Netflix has me hooked. I definitely recommend!”

Another said: “You guys must watch “Desperate Lies” on Netflix”.

The replies to that were full of people agreeing, all saying that the show is a must watch.

The show has a meaty 17 episode season, with one fan saying: “Still to watch 10 more episodes. The suspense is killing me”.

Another fan said: “Finished it in 3 days. My anxiety shot up I ended up drinking wine and shouting at the tv”.

It’s a Brazilian drama about a woman whose affair baby is cosied up inside her belly next to her partner’s baby – if you weren’t drinking wine and shouting at the TV by the end of it, the show wouldn’t be doing its job.

If you reach the end and want more though, bad news.

Netflix have already confirmed that the show will be one and done, and won’t be receiving a second season.

I for one want to see what happens when she has triplets from three men, but that’s just me.

The ‘flawless’ Netflix series which has seen viewers ‘binge-watch’ to their crime-drama-loving hearts’ content has made the streaming service’s top non-English series of ‘all time’.

There’s one show featured on Netflix’s top 10 most popular non-English shows not only globally, but also of ‘all time’, which you may not have heard of.

While most of us binge-watched Squid Game season’s one and two as fast as you can say ‘green light,’ what about a the first chapter of French TV series Lupin?

Granted, it’s obtained a staggering 99,500,000 views since it first came out on the streaming service, but if the gripping crime drama has somehow slipped your gaze, let’s catch you up.

The thriller was created by George Kay and François Uzan.

It first premiered on Netflix on January 8, 2021, and has gone on to be watched nearly 100 million times – at the time of its release becoming the most-watched non-English series on Netflix, despite its position having fallen slightly in the list to spot number four, at the time of writing.

The series stars Omar Sy, Ludivine Sagnier, Antoine Gouy, and Soufiane Guerrab.

It centers around Assane Diop (Sy), a man who ended up becoming a professional thief after his father passed away, leaving him flying solo at 14 years old.

Diop was inspired in his own thievery by the adventures of master thief Arsène Lupin, a character created by real-life Maurice Leblanc in his early 1900s novels. Now a father himself, Diop has to weigh up what really matters to him – avenging his father or ensuring he can be a dad to his own son and keep him safe.

So popular has the series been, it’s gone on to have three further instalments.

The second season follows not long after the first on Netflix’s top global list of non-English series of all time too. Lupin – Part 2 reached 68,400,000 views, at the time of writing.

Lupin’s first season won a Critics’ Choice Award for Best Foreign Language Series alongside being nominated for an Emmy and Golden Globe.

As one Twitter user wrote: “I binged watch first part last night, hooked from the very first 5 minutes. This series is going to be better than Ocean’s 12, 13 and 8 combined.”

“Awesome!! Truly enjoyed every moment. Once I saw the first episode it was a must finish to the end. Great job!!” Another added.

A third wrote: “Loved this Series. Binged watched the entire series one. Can’t wait for series two. Dubbed in English and still was flawless.”

A Reddit user even dubbed the first episode of the first season ‘outstanding’.

But what’s next for the series?

You settling in to binge-watch (Netflix)

Well, luckily for fans of the show (or those of you who have now vowed to binge-watch the first three instalments and catch up), the series was renewed for a fourth part.

The fourth season is reported as being in production, filming underway as per Netflix’s Tudum.

So keep your eyes peeled.

Netflix viewers are hooked to a newly added show – and they’re saying it’s better than Squid Game.

The show has a pretty similar premise to the iconic Netflix series – which was viewed by more than 142 million households in just a month after its launch – so it makes sense that fans are drawing comparisons.

The South Korean series dropped on Netflix earlier this month and tells the story of eight people invited to take part in a dodgy reality show in exchange for money.

Sounds rather familiar, doesn’t it? Especially considering the contestants find themselves trapped in an eight-storey building where they earn more money with each passing day.

The series, which is called The 8 Show, sees the contestants fighting for their lives, but there’s a twisted catch – if one dies, they all lose.

There’s also a live, secret audience watching their every move behind a glass screen.

People are loving the series so far, with viewers taking to the Netflix Bangers Facebook group to discuss.

One wrote: “The 8 Show. A must-watch series that is even better than Squid Game.”

While another said: “This was really good, death game style without all the death, a lot more psychological.”

And a third added: “Good !!! Interesting !!! Extraordinary !!! There are no other words I can say other than that, the acting, drama and actors are perfect. So perfect.. Thank you!!! It’s really GREAT!!!”

Meanwhile a fourth chimed in: “FINISHED THIS SHOW IN ONE SITTING. It’s that good.”

While many viewers are making comparisons between The 8 Show and Squid Game, in an interview with The Korea Times, director Han Jae-rim told the publication that he ‘understands’ the show was being developed before Squid Game.

He also pointed out the differences, explaining: “In Squid Game, someone else has to die, so I can live and the protagonist feels satisfaction as others get eliminated.

“But in our work, no one should die, and everyone must survive together, which is the complete opposite.”

He added: “I wanted to create a hierarchy by naming the characters by their floor. And I tried to make it easier for [viewers] to empathize with any of the characters by not providing them with detailed backstories.

“These eight people are meant there to entertain.”
