The beauty of Netflix is there is nearly always something new to watch, and often people have raved about what is the next 'must see' series to binge watch.

Whether you're looking for something gripping that will leave you thinking about it for days after or if you're just looking for some easy 'fluffy' TV to watch, Netflix can deliver.

One of the latest series that many Netflix fans cannot stop praising has also seen it get a near perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes, with many saying they've been 'blown away' by how good it is.

Even just with eight episodes, fans have been hooked. (Netflix)

Dead Boy Detectives only landed on the streaming platform earlier this year, so there's not loads to catch up on. In fact, there's just one season and eight episodes, but many fans are already work a second season.

The show centers on two teen ghosts who work alongside a clairvoyant to help solve mysteries for their supernatural clientele. Yet it all goes awry when a powerful witch gets involved, and they have to fight to try and get things back on track.

Starring a relatively unknown cast including George Rexstrew, Jayden Revri, Kassius Nelson, Briana Cuoco, Ruth Connell, Yuyu Kitamura and Jenn Lyon, the series has already been rated as 94 percent on the Rotten Tomatoes 'Tomatometer'. It's also got an 89 percent score from the audience too, which is not too shabby at all.

One fan rated the series highly as they wrote: "I was blown away with this show. It’s part of the “Sandman” universe. I can relate to it a lot and it’s funny too!"

Another shared: "The best yet weirdest thing I've ever watched."

"I'd watch it over and over again," said a third.

Another added: "I enjoyed it, bit of fantasy and fun but not for young kids. Language and can be dark in some places."

Yet despite the high score on Rotten Tomatoes, not everyone thought it was great. Some viewers didn't find it grabbed them, as one person wrote: "Currently watching it and it's not really keeping my attention."

The series has gotten a near-perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes, and has positive reviews since it landed on Netflix. (Netflix)

Another shared: "I’m on episode 4 and can’t tell if I like or dislike it. I love the idea of the show but some scenes are actually kinda intense or confusing."

"I’ve just finished episode 5 and to be honest I’m not really enjoying it," said a third. "I’ll persevere and finish the series though."

Dead Boy Detectives is now available on Netflix.
