People are taking to social media and enthusing about a new TV series that landed in the streaming platform’s top ten following its debut.
One fan pens: “I will never stop talking about this masterpiece.”
Another adds: “Go watch this show. Best thing I’ve seen on Netflix in a long time.”
“It kept me on the edge of my seat the entire way through,” someone else says.
A fourth person writes: “My only complaint is I didn’t watch it sooner!”
“I watched them all yesterday!” shares a fifth fan.
Picked up for a second season by Netflix, the show is also being lauded by critics.
Alex Godfrey of Empire writes: “An impressively unpredictable show pulsating with vitality and urgency.”
Decider‘s Pat Stacey adds: “It’s one that keeps a foot planted firmly in a recognizably real world. Excellent.”
While The Guardian‘s Leila Latif says it’s a ‘sprawling sci-fi drama strikingly performed, bracingly plotted and its characters are up there with prestige TV’s finest.’
The show also has a hugely impressive score of 100% on Rotten Tomatoes – a feat not easily accomplished.
Compared to hit shows such as NBC’s Heroes and classics like Channel 4’s Misfits, the series follows a group of normal people in modern-day South London who suddenly develop superpowers.
