People are saying Netflix's best ever series is underrated show that doesn't get love it deserves

Netflix users are flooding to the streaming service to praise a thriller as being 'one of the best we have seen from this genre'.

If you've rewatched the psychological mini-series which had viewers 'glued' to their screens then fear not because Netflix, one again, has you covered with a gem of a series praised as one of the streaming service's 'best ever', which you likely missed when it first came out in 2017.

Prepare to try and cram in an episode on your lunch break:

Cast, crew and synopsis

Directed Baran bo Odar, the German sci-fi thriller was the first ever German-speaking original developed by Netflix.

It stars the likes of Louis Hofmann (Masters of the Air), Lisa Vicari (Django) and Gina Stiebitz (The Darker the Lake).

Season one focuses on the events which unravel when two children go missing in a small German town. The town's 'sinful past is exposed' alongside the secrets within the four families of the missing children.

And channeling a similar vibe to Stranger Things, the story is laced with elements of the supernatural too - what's not to love?

And despite being released seven years ago - yes, 2017 was a whopping seven years ago - some people are only stumbling across the series - titled Dark - for the first time.
