TV thriller fans are still raving about an 'outstanding' crime drama that was released on Netflix in October 2023.

Valero's big break was in the 2018 comedy movie Perfect Strangers. Since then she has mainly starred in Mexican TV shows.
Her character in this drama plays a big-time social media influencer who was abandoned at birth and left to fend for herself.
Within the intense 18 episodes that are set in Mexico, Brenda is fuelled by the need for revenge and invades the lives of four women in order to find out the truth about her birth.
Instead of going down the simple route of taking a DNA test, she plays mind games with the women in hope to find her biological mother.
If you are wondering what the Netflix series in question is, it is called Pact of Silence.
It has an impressive audience score of 71 percent on Rotten Tomatoes and fans have even been staying up all night to watch it.
Critics have spoken highly of the show, with Graeme Blundell, from The Australian, saying on Rotten Tomatoes: "It is a compelling over-the-top revenge tale in the style of a telenovela and it is made with the same kind of high end cinematic style and convulsive narrative spinning."
The addictive storyline was written by José Vicente Spataro and the other main characters in the show are played by Adriana Louvier, Marimar Vega and singer Litzy.
Viewers have been flooding social media feeds with praise for Pact of Silence. One fan wrote: “Ya'll, I am obsessed with another Netflix show called Pact of Silence. Outstanding.”
A second insisted: “Yall go watch Pact of Silence on Netflix. 10/10.”
While someone else, who found themself glued to the show, said: “I was supposed to be doing school work tonight, but instead this telenovela on Netflix has me binging. The Pact of Silence. Have yall watched it yet? It’s sooo good!!"
And another added: "The show Pact of Silence on Netflix has me staying up every night late as hell to binge watch, it’s soooo good but I’m sooo tired."
So, what are you waiting for? Pact of Silence is available to stream on Netflix now.
