Among Netflix’s vast catalogue is a mini-series so touching, people are still remembering it six months on from their first watch.

We know a well-crafted story – whether told through a TV series or movie – has the power to move us. How often have you found yourself uncontrollably laughing at a side-splittingly funny comedy?

Or perhaps sobbing endlessly after a particularly emotional series tugs on your heartstrings just so?

Well, this ‘watch-in-one sitting’ mini-series, made up of only four episodes, has undoubtedly left its mark on viewers. Not to mention, it’s so captivating, one viewer stayed up until almost 4am to binge-watch the entire thing.

The story follows Esty Shapiro (Captain America: Brave New World’s Shira Hass), a young woman who flees her ultra-Orthodox Jewish community in Brooklyn, New York after being forced into an arranged marriage.

She escapes for a new life in Europe, relocating to Berlin, Germany. There, Esty discovers a whole new world of freedom she never imagined was possible.

And with the help of new-found friends, she applies to music school, with ambitions of studying piano and singing.

While she pursues the life she’d always dreamed of, her family are hot on her trail, hell-bent on finding her – and dragging her back to the US.

The series in question is called Unorthodox and is based on the 2012 memoir, Unorthodox: The Scandalous Rejection of My Hasidic Roots, by Deborah Feldman.

While the show is inspired by Feldman’s real-life experiences, the portion of the story set in Berlin is fictional.

While the series first released in 2020, viewers are still only just discovering the eight-times Emmy-nominated series.

Taking to Twitter a few months ago, one viewer shared: “I watched Unorthodox on Netflix like 6 months ago, I still think about it all the time… such a bittersweet story I absolutely bawled my eyes out…”

A second wrote: “Just finished watching Unorthodox on Netflix. Outstanding television. Acting, casting, writing, production, music – all perfect. Definitely watch it.”

And a third penned: “If you enjoy learning about different religions and beliefs, Unorthodox on Netflix was a watch-in-one-sitting series. Very intriguing.”

The praise continued over on Rotten Tomatoes, where the series received a remarkable 96 percent score from critics.

“Unorthodox adapts its source material with extreme care, crafting a series that is at once intimate and urgent, all centered around Shira Haas’ captivating performance.”

Viewers agreed, as one wrote: “Gripping from start to finish,” going on to hail Haas’ performance ‘extraordinary.’

A second gave their verdict: “Riveting and enthralling!” before admitting: “It’s 03.45am and I just watched all of the miniseries in one go.

“The whole package is courageous, honest, beautiful, inspirational and full of hope and determination.”

An ‘addictive’ British crime drama has Netflix subscribers hooked – so much so, they’re bingeing all six episodes in a day.

The miniseries stars Golden Globe-winning Games of Thrones star Richard Madden who ‘shines’ in his role as a specialist police officer.

Netflix has a jam-packed catalogue of quality crime series – but with so many to choose from, some gems can fall through the cracks.

First released in 2018 on the BBC before joining the streaming giant, the series is set in London, England.

It centers on David Budd (Madden), a troubled war veteran who now works as a Specialist Protection Officer for the Metropolitan Police Service.

After heroically thwarting a terrorist attack, he is assigned to protect the ambitious and controversial Home Secretary, Julia Montague (Keeley Hawes).

As he wrestles with his own psychological trauma and conflicting loyalties, Budd becomes entangled in a web of political conspiracy, terrorism and personal betrayal.

The show delves into subjects including government surveillance, PTSD, terrorism and power play – all of which have audiences gripped.

The series in question is called Bodyguard – not to be confused with the 1992 Whitney Houston blockbuster of the same name.

Its first episode drew in more than 10 million viewers when it debuted in the UK, making it one of the most-watched BBC dramas in recent years.

Bodyguard comes from the mind of Jed Mercurio, who was also behind other acclaimed crime dramas including Line of Duty, Critical and Bodies.

Having racked up a Rotten Tomatoes critics score of 93 percent, reviewers have hailed it an ‘absorbing and addicting’ psychological thriller.

“This show was amazing, and Richard Madden was just great, I wish they would continue it but alas you don’t get everything you wish for,” one fan wrote, as a second added: “I know I’m late to the party but I thought this was brilliant, exciting and had me on edge.”

A third agreed: “Refreshing and gripping from start to finish. This is a must watch.”

The praise continued over on Twitter, where one viewer wrote: “Netflix miniseries BODYGUARD is an intense drama thriller which you will binge-watch in a day itself.” They continued: “Too good story line, intense moments, and gripping throughout. Worth your six hours.”

“Highly impressed by bodyguard TV series. Best for binge watching,” a second weighed in, as a third admitted: “I started watching on a whim and went into full binge mode.”

Netflix fans are just rediscovering a top 10 show that they say is ‘better than Breaking Bad‘.

It’s not very often Rotten Tomatoes lets us down with a score for a show that we feel completely misses the mark.

However, that’s what loads of Netflix fans are saying about a popular American crime drama series that blessed our screens with four seasons between 2017 to 2022.

Although an oldie, stans say it’s certainly a goodie with dozens saying they’ve only just discovered it or are re-watching it from scratch again.

Starring the likes of Golden Globe winners Jason Bateman and Laura Linney, it’s clear to see why fans rate it so highly.

We are, of course, talking about Ozark, which follows the story of Marty Byrde (played by Bateman) and his family’s dramatic relocation to the remote Missouri Ozarks.

It all happens when a money laundering scheme for a Mexican drug cartel goes sideways and the Byrdes end up brushing shoulders with local criminals and the mafia in the remote community, with violence, corruption and moral dilemmas to boot.

Ratings for the overall show sit at 82 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, which fans say doesn’t add up.

Taking to Reddit to discuss the apparently poor score, a fan said: “Wow, tough crowd to please.

“This show is amazing. One of the few shows out there where I haven’t been inclined to check my watch once. Very underrated!”

Many more pitted it against some of the series giants considered the greatest of all time, like Breaking Bad (rated 96 percent on Rotten Tomatoes), as many said they liked Ozark more and confidently place the show in their top five.

Sharing their personal favorites, a Redditor said: “Breaking Bad, Sopranos and Ozark. Ozark of the 3 definitely felt more gritty.”

Others said they enjoyed the ‘ruthless’, ‘addictive’ and ‘gritty’ plot, with one adding: “This show has amazing dialogue, amazing acting, and great shots/directing. It’s the first thing I’ve binge watched in a very long time, and I’m inclined to definitely put it in my top five shows of all time.

I’m not sure why I find Jason Bateman so compelling in every scene. But everyone does a great job.”

A third penned: “Marty’s whole family are a absolute tour de force. I really enjoyed spending more time with them.”

“One of the best shows. I’ve watched it several times because the acting is so great,” said another.

“I have watched a couple of times as well. Its a top 3 for me,” a fifth chimed.

“It’s awesome? What else is there to say.. Probably liked it better than Breaking Bad.”

Netflix subscribers are pulling all-nighters to binge-watch a ’10/10′ miniseries they’re hailing the ‘perfect thriller.’

As we slowly crawl nearer to spring, there are plenty of captivating TV series to keep us occupied while the days gradually get longer.

From Robert Di Nero’s new ‘mind-boggling’ political thriller to a five-year-old ‘masterpiece’ miniseries with near-perfect ratings, the world’s largest streaming service certainly has plenty on offer.

But sometimes choosing what to watch next can be a bit of a challenge. That’s where we come in…

Over on Rotten Tomatoes, the series earned rather average scores from both critics and audience members – a 59 percent and 63 percent respectively.

But not everyone agreed with Clickbait’s ratings, as one fan, who’d finished up the drama only a few weeks ago, left a glowing review.
