BBC series critically acclaimed
Harlan Coben's Fool Me Once has been Netflix's top hit series over the past few months, but one British crime drama on the platform has more viewers than his entire series Even higher.
Back in 2018, thriller and suspense novelist Coburn signed a five-year contract with Netflix that gave them the rights to adapt 14 of his novels into series or movies on the platform.
The first to be released was “Strangers”, followed by “The Woods”, “Innocent”, “Gone Forever”, “Stay Close”, “Hold On Tight” and most recently “Fool Me Once”.
In the first weeks of 2024, Fool Me Once became the show everyone was talking about, thanks to the stellar performances of its cast and the twists and turns that Cobain was known for.
The show has a rating of 6.8/10 on IMDb, just behind the show's highest-rated episodes – “Safety” (7.2) and “The Innocents” (7.8).
But there's one British crime drama on Netflix that trumps them all.
The Missing was released on the BBC in 2014 and has a rating of 8.2 on IMDb.
The show consists of two seasons, the first about a boy who disappears in France and the other about a girl who disappears in Germany.
The show stars French actor Tchéky Karyo as chief detective Julien Baptiste, including James Nesbitt in season one, James Nesbitt in season two, Keeley Hawes and David Morrissey.
Karyo's detective was so popular that he got his own spin-off series, Baptiste, which was released in 2019.
The first series of Missing was released to critical acclaim, with The Guardian calling it “hauntingly brilliant drama”, The Telegraph calling it “extremely compelling” and The Independent calling it ” incredible”.
So if you're still looking for a more intense, emotional, and gripping watch to tide you over, The Missing is the movie for you.
However, if you want to watch the show on Netflix, you'd better act fast, as both series will be leaving the streaming platform on April 11. This means tomorrow (April 10) is the last day the show will be available for streaming.
If you don't have time to watch before then, the show should still be available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
