A new Netflix series has been getting rave reviews, with some going as far as giving it a 10/10.

The true crime drama is based on a case involving the murder of a woman and a child in Linköping, Sweden, which sparked the second-largest criminal investigation in the country’s history.

The incident occurred in 2004, and eventually the case went cold as there was no clear motive or suspect.

It wasn’t until 16 years later that a genealogist made some progress in solving the murders.

Titled The Breakthrough, Netflix fans have wasted no time in binging the Swedish-language, four-part series and have since been sharing their reviews of it online.

Someone penned on Twitter: “We just finished E2 of the four episode Swedish true crime TV mini-series ‘The Breakthrough’, via Netflix, and it is the good stuff. Strongly recommended.”

A different viewer said the show was ‘truly riveting’, as another labeled it as ‘binge-worthy’.

On IMDb, some Netflix subscribers have given the series 10/10.

“This miniseries has been crafted with high sensibility, the characters are developed in perfect way and all the actors do an amazing job,” one person’s glowing review began.

“It’s an immersive experience, that lead to feel the pain of the parents, the struggling and the weight of responsibility that investigators have.”

They went on to say of their review: “It’s the first time I give a 10 to something, but this deserve it all.”

Someone else, who gave The Breakthrough 10/10, said: “Great performance by all the actors from beginning to end. I found the understated urgency and perseverance of the lead detective really touching and well acted. Overall, I watched it all in one day and felt on the edge of my seat to the very end.”

A third added: “This kept my interest throughout the series. It had drama, tenderness and suspense that kept me riveted to the screen from beginning to end! An excellent series.”

Starring Peter Eggers and Mattias Nordkvist, The Breakthrough was directed by Lisa Siwe. Discussing the show, Siwe said to Netflix: “Though this is a fictional drama series about a crime, it is, above all, a depiction of a human tragedy – where we place our focus on the victims and the investigation rather than the perpetrator.

“It’s a story about the compassion and care for one another that is needed to move on when terrible things happen.”

The Breakthrough is now streaming on Netflix.

Fans of a hospital drama have been wiping back tears as they get a chance to tune in to the popular show for its final season.

As we enter 2025, you know what that means – there’ll be new movies and TV shows for us to welcome the New Year.

That doesn’t mean to say that 2024 didn’t leave us out to dry, as many viewers were raving about a ‘unbelievable’ thriller and a true crime series that involves Barack Obama, an Elvis impersonator and a poison plot.

Netflix also ended the year by adding a hospital drama from 2018, which UK viewers were unable to watch – until now.

The NBC show recently arrived on Netflix (NBC)

The show is called New Amsterdam, and follows Dr Max Goodwin (Ryan Egghold) who joins one of the oldest public hospitals in New York as a medical director.

Unlike his predecessors, Goodwin is set on making some changes, rustling some feathers and doing all he can to remove bureaucracy, address neglect and ensure better care for its patients.

You can watch the trailer for season one here:

New Amsterdam concluded its fifth season at the start of 2023, however, it’s recent addition to the streaming platform has reinvigorated the love for the show on social media, with fans taking to Twitter to rave about it.

As you can imagine, the show often deals with sensitive subject matter and this has really resonated with some viewers, and some have gone as far to call the show ’11 out 10′.

One Twitter user joked: “My name is Rob and I’m a telly addict. I’ve just found New Amsterdam on Netflix. See you in a few weeks!

Another commented: “I introduced the wife to New Amsterdam on Netflix last night. I’ve seen most series already but 2 episodes in it already hits me in the feels.”

“Such a good series with so many heart string moments. I won’t lie though (no spoilers) I’m already prepping the tissues.”

Someone else commented that they ‘can’t get enough of this series’, while a fourth said: “New Amsterdam on Netflix 11 out of 10.”

A fifth viewer had high praise for the show’s overall premise, calling it an ‘amazing’ watch.

On Rotten Tomatoes, there isn’t a Tomatometer rating and it does hold a rather meh 50 percent popcorn meter rating. However, on IMDB, the show boasts a solid 8/10 following over 52,000 reviews.

So it might be worth binging yourself and seeing if the hospital antics resonate with you.

A ‘nightmare’ Netflix movie has had fans so ‘on edge’ they admitted they ‘couldn’t breathe’ while watching it.

Fans say one scene ‘was the most anxious and longest 20 min’ they’ve ever seen.

The thriller, which dropped last week, has shot to the top of the Netflix movie charts worldwide – and it certainly seems like a stressful watch.

Yellowstone‘s Kelsey Asbille stars as Iris, a woman who is about to commit suicide before being injected with a ‘paralytic agent’ by a serial killer, who calmly informs her she has 20 minutes to get away until she’s completely paralysed.

Oh, and along the way her body will slowly be shutting down.

And not only does she have a serial killer to worry about, she also has to contend with ants crawling over her face while she can’t move her body, and also trying to get help when all she can move is her eyes.

I don’t know about you, but my heart’s racing just reading about it.

You can watch the trailer for Don’t Move below:

Ratched‘s Finn Wittrock, Pirates of the Caribbean‘s Moray Treadwell and Stay Close‘s Daniel Francis round out the cast in the heart-pounding thriller, which is also produced by Spider-Man and Evil Dead director Sam Raimi.

Fans have certainly been raving about Don’t Move, with one posting to the Netflix Bangers Facebook group “I have never seen a film like this before. I couldn’t breathe when watching it.”

One fan agreed: “Kept me on the edge of my seat, loved it,” as another chipped in: “Unsettling but a good watch”.

Over on X, formerly Twitter, one fan wrote: “I watched that new Netflix move called #DontMove where the lady was drugged and paralyzed…that was the most anxious and longest 20 min I ever seen.”

Another said ‘that s**t had me on edge’, while a third called the film a ‘nightmare’.

A fourth called the concept ‘beyond f**** up’, adding: “This woman is literally about to unalive herself and the guy who talks her out of it just drugged her to where she can’t move as she’s getting into her car.. the f**k?!”

Not everyone was a fan, with plenty of viewers disappointed in how the movie ends.

One slammed: “Tried to watch Don’t Move, 15 minutes and I was done and that was being generous.”

A second reasoned: “Story is good but… I feel they could’ve made it better, ‘specially the ending, is very boring in my opinion,” as a second agreed: “Good story just an abrupt ending.”

But what exactly did Rotten Tomatoes critics think? Critics rated it a respectable 73 percent – while RT audience members awarded it just 43 percent. Ouch.

Decider’s John Serba sums Don’t Move up as ‘a reasonably tight and effective thriller, and a rock-solid debut from Netto and Schindler.’

The Guardian’s Benjamin Lee writes that the thriller ‘doesn’t quite stick the landing as smoothly as one might hope with a few too many incredulous moments and some biffed one-liners.’

But he adds: “There are enough heart-in-throat moments on the way there to separate this from most of the genre guff.”

Don’t Move is available to stream now on Netflix.

Fans who’ve binge-watched the latest Harlan Coben drama have another eight they can get stuck into – and they’re all available on Netflix.

Missing You, which was released on New Year’s Day, has had viewers ‘addicted,’ with many praising the five-parter’s major twist.

And those who want more from the renowned mystery-thriller writer don’t have far to look…

Half of them are in English and the others are in either Spanish, French or Polish.

Gone for Good

A French-language drama this time, Gone For Good is set a decade after a man loses two of the people he loves most.
