Netflix fans are raving about a historical drama they're binge-watching in just one day.

The streaming service is home to thousands of titles, but with so many on offer, choosing your next watch can feel overwhelming.

Dozens of movies and shows are removed each month, making it all the more confusing.

But a TV series that's set to stay has had viewers enthralled, featuring an element people have 'never seen' in television before.

And if you're a fan of addictive series The Last Kingdom, this drama should be at the top of your watchlist.

Set in Europe during the Roman occupation of Magna Germania, the two-season Netflix series dramatizes the events surrounding the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest in 9 A.D.

It follows Arminius (Laurence Rupp), a Germanic warrior who was taken to Rome as a child, along with his brother, to keep peace between his tribe - the Cherusci - and the Romans.

Raised as a Roman, he grows up to become a soldier in their army and later returns to his homeland to help Roman commander, Varus (Gaetano Aronica), keep control there.

But Arminius is shocked by how badly the Romans treat his people and, enlisting help from friends Thusnelda (Jeanne Goursaud) and Folkwin (David Schütter), he decides to take action.

The series impressed audiences with its use of both German and Latin, adding a layer of historical authenticity. There is an English dubbed version, too, if that's your preference.

We're talking about 2020 release Barbarians - and you can watch its trailer below:

Taking to the Netflix Bangers Facebook Group, one person left their glowing recommendation.

"Barbarians, 100/10," they wrote, calling the show 'very entertaining.'

"I got quite emotional with the scenes in the story. If you've finished The Last Kingdom and are looking for something [similar], then watch this," they added.

Over on Rotten Tomatoes, the series was scored a solid 86 percent by critics and 71 percent by audience members.

"First season is incredible, it's historically accurate, the story is powerful, acting and cast are amazing," one person penned. "The use of Latin and German is just something I've never seen before. Just incredible."

A second weighed in: "Binged the show in one day, I really liked it! I'd say it's not a drama but a thriller..."

Meanwhile a third chimed in: "I started watching with very low expectations but was quickly convinced after the first episode... Definitely entertaining and worth while."

Both seasons of Barbarians are available to stream now on Netflix.
