Dark

DARK Season 1 Official Trailer # 2 (2017) Netflix Mystery TV Series HD - YouTube DARK Season 1 Official Trailer # 2 (2017) Netflix Mystery TV Series HD - YouTube
Watch On
  • RT Score: 95%
  • Age rating: TV-MA
  • Length: ~56 minute episodes
  • Creator: Baran bo Odar and Jantje Friese

Dark was Netflix’s first German-language original series to become an international phenomenon after it debuted on the streamer in 2017. This mind-bending thriller sci-fi follows four families in search for answers after a child's disappearance. However, their hunt for the truth leads them to discover a sinister mystery that spans three generations. 

Everything about this show is sublime – from the acting and characters to the music and story. The cinematography in particular will have you amazed at how they managed to present convoluted twists and turns in such a stunning way to the audience. Trust me when I say this, Dark will have you captivated throughout the entire three seasons. So it's safe to say that I was disappointed to hear that Netflix canceled a new fantasy series from Dark's producers before it even aired. 

Available to stream globally on Netflix.

The Sinner

  • RT Score: 92%
  • Age rating: TV-MA
  • Length: ~45 minute episodes
  • Creator: Derek Simonds

The Sinner goes down as one of my favorite shows on Netflix and is unmatched when it comes to detective series. Each of the four seasons sees detective Harry Ambrose (Bill Pullman) investigate different murder cases and try to work out why the unlikely suspects committed atrocious crimes. 

Jessica Biel hits it out of the park in season one as she portrays Cora Tannetti, who suddenly stabs a stranger on a beach for no apparent reason, but of course it's not a straightforward case. Her stand-out performance is what led me to wait in anticipation for new seasons to land on the streamer across four years. Every series had me completely engrossed with their jaw-dropping twists and shocking secrets as we learn that Harry is just as tortured as the seemingly ordinary people he deals with in his murder investigations.

  • Age rating: TV-MA
  • Length: ~47 minute episodes
  • Creator: Harlan Coben

The mastermind that is Harlan Coben strikes again with this twisty thriller. Coben's incredible book-to-screen adaptations, including Fool Me Once and The Stranger are addictive watches that I've binged through, so I couldn't help but do the same with Stay Close. When two men vanish in Stay Close, it sets off a terrible chain reaction in the lives of people connected to them. The gripping storylines, complex characters, and suspenseful twists had me on the edge of my seat. It's brimming with murder, mystery and some truly 'what the heck' moments that will shock you.

Available to stream globally on Netflix.
