Psychological thriller with near-perfect Rotten Tomatoes score is being dubbed the ‘greatest show ever’
A series must be doing something right if it's been dubbed the 'greatest show ever', but have you taken the plunge?
There is so much to watch on the likes of Netflix, Prime and AppleTV, so it can be pretty difficult to know what to stick on.
Of course, you can always stick on some of your favorites, but how many times can you watch THAT ending of Game of Thrones, eh?

The director who has been awarded the 'greatest show ever' is Sam Esmail, the name who you'd probably associate with Leave the World Behind nowadays.
But the director first gained recognition for Mr. Robot, a psychological thriller people are still talking about to this day.
The show, which premiered in 2015, follows Elliot Alderson, a cybersecurity engineer who becomes a wiz hacker overnight.
Four seasons have come in total, though many had not even heard of Mr. Robot until it boomed on Amazon Prime.
And the show certainly has a cult following too with one fan taking to Twitter to describe it as the 'greatest show ever' and 'better than Breaking Bad'.
The post reads: "Just finished rewatching MR ROBOT cuz this might be the greatest show ever created on this fkin planet cuz I wanna rewatch it over again & again man it’s even better than Breaking Bad, Sam Esmail and Rami Malek just take a bow. What geniuses. Fkin nailed it. Whaaaata masterpiece."
Reviews for Mr. Robot are pretty impressive too as it sits at a near-perfect 94 percent Rotten Tomatoes score to this day.
Season one is seemingly the best series according to critics, with a 98 percent score.
Meanwhile, season two has a 90 percent, while season three sits at a 92 percent scoring.
And Mr. Robot seemingly went out with a bang, achieving a whopping 96 percent score with season four.
Reviewing season four, Merrill Barr, from Forbes, penned: "The final season of Mr. Robot is starting with a bang and a promise that is going to leave audiences reeling.
"It's everything we want Mr. Robot to be. It's everything we always thought Mr. Robot could be. It's everything Mr. Robot should be."
Meanwhile, CNN's Brian Lowry wrote: "Returning now, after some uneven stretches in seasons 2 and 3, the show feels as vibrant as ever, with the fifth of the episodes exhibiting the kind of deft, meticulously constructed cloak-and-dagger machinations that would work as a theatrical thriller."
