Deep storylines and unexpected twists are the key to their success.
Netflix is one of the biggest streaming platforms out there, and the variety of different movies and shows is truly incredible. Fans of every genre can find something to watch.
However, it seems that some of them are presented more than others, for example, there may not be as many sci-fi shows as there are thrillers. But which one to choose when there are hundreds of them? Well, you can rely on Rotten Tomatoes to make your life easier. Here are ten of the best thrillers to stream on Netflix if you’re picky like us.
1. The Snow Girl – 100% Score
The miniseries was released earlier this year and tells the story based on Javier Castillo's novel about the mysterious disappearance of a six-year-old girl. This unfortunate event happened in 2010, and now, many years later, an intern at a local Malagan newspaper, Miren Rojo, has decided to investigate the case. What she finds out is something no one could have ever imagined.
2. Rough Diamonds – 100% Score
This is a Belgian drama set in Antwerp that tells the story of Noah Wolfson, who is so fed up with his Orthodox Jewish life that he decides to leave the city and start a new life without the pressures. He succeeds in his plan, but something happens at home that makes him come back. His little brother has committed suicide... The story of this series is a complicated take on a family business gone wrong.
3. The Law According to Lidia Poët – 100% Score
Another show that has been critically and commercially acclaimed is set in Italy in the 1880s. The story of the series is loosely based on a real person, the legendary Lidia Poët, the first female lawyer in Italy. The series offers us to witness her journey to judicial stardom from the very beginning as she tries to enroll as a practicing lawyer but is banned from doing so. The show is very stylish in terms of camerawork and visual effects.
4. Katla – 100% Score
For those who are good at geography, the name of the series hints at where it comes from. Katla is the name of a volcano in Iceland, and the series unfolds the mysteries that the small town of Vik, near the volcano, still holds. After the eruption of Katla, the town became an uninhabitable place. The mysterious show with time travel twists keeps you on the edge of your seat all the time.
5. Red Rose – 100% Score
Red Rose is created by Eleven – the same production that brought us the popular teen series Sex Education. However, the new show, which is a teen drama, too, has nothing in common with it, and is much, much bloodier. The show revolves around a group of friends enjoying their last summer before college, when one of them gets into trouble after downloading an app called "Red Rose."
6. You Don't Know Me – 100% Score
You Don't Know Me is a gripping thriller based on the bestseller by Imran Mahmood. There are four parts to the show that tell us the twisted story of an unnamed person accused of murdering a gang boss. At first, it seems like the only way to solve the case is to convict the man, as there is plenty of evidence against him, but when he starts talking, the trial takes the most unexpected turn.
7. His House – 100% Score
We can't say that this movie is a horror, but it's definitely somewhere between horror and thriller, because it's full of brutal depiction of life in a small English town. And especially this life can be hard for the refugees from Sudan, who were looking for a better life, but ended up in a place that was far from paradise.
The movie raises many social issues about the life of refugees and the traumas they face while trying to settle somewhere far away from their homeland.
