Sometimes, the best show you’ll watch isn’t necessarily a new release - it might be something that’s been hiding in plain sight all along.

Yet, thanks to social media, another series is coming to the forefront that was first released in 2017.
This time it’s a German sci-fi thriller on Netflix, with many people decrying it as criminally ‘underrated’.

Rarely, things only get better as the new seasons are released. The second season has a perfect score of 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, and the third has 97%.

It’s a no brainer - this is outstanding television.
Don’t just take my word for it, though.
Many people have flooded social media to share their awe at the show.

One person wrote on X: “This is the best Netflix tv show I've ever seen in recent years”, which received 12,000 retweets.
Another person said: “I think it’s the best series that Netflix has and one of the best series in history.”
A third added: “One of the best! Highly recommended. Left me speechless and thinking for days after it concluded.”
And in case you were worried that such a great show would ruin the ending - ahem Dexter and Game of Thrones - you needn’t worry about that.
One person concluded: “It ended so perfectly too.”
