Netflix subscribers are busy watching a 'wild ride' of a mystery series they say has the 'perfect pace'.

This eight-part drama is ideal for your next weekend binge, with viewers mesmerized by the show's stunning setting and plot twists.

But in the wake of a freak accident, he starts experiencing eerie visions about his neighbors, Leo Bazán (Guillermo Toledo) and María Vargas (Pilar Castro).
Becoming increasingly uneasy and erratic, he's desperate to protect his children before it's too late - but can he really trust his visions?
The series in question is The Last Night at Tremore Beach, based on the 2014 Mikel Santiago novel of the same name.
The mini-series dropped on Netflix in October 2024, with some thriller fans still only just discovering the series.
Taking to Reddit to discuss the show in the R/Horror community, one fan admitted: "I binged it in two days while experiencing all nighters. I found it to be a wild ride."
Somebody else agreed: "I loved it! The pacing was perfect and every episode was compelling and left me thinking and wondering what would happen next.
"Beautiful setting, compelling characters, contemplations on destiny and relationships. Really cool puzzle of a plot."
A third weighed in: "Just finished it. I liked it very much, even though some plot twists in the end felt a bit over the top. But it was beautifully shot and well paced overall. Can recommend!"
The praise continued over on X, formerly Twitter, where one social media user said: "Stream it...binge it. So worth it. Ending is great."
A second fan agreed: "I’m really enjoying The Last Night at Tremore Beach - just the right mix of psychological thriller and supernatural for me."
Over on Rotten Tomatoes, critics scored the show 80 percent, as one praised its 'melancholic beauty with its formal cinematography'.
"This series deserves nothing short of 5 stars!" one fan wrote, adding: "The storyline is very well written and the ending brings closure without disappointment or questions."
But not everyone agreed with the pacing, though, as someone else described the series as 'bloated,' and another 'about three episodes too long'.
Either way, if you're looking for a mystery to stick your teeth into, then get adding The Last Night at Tremore Beach to your watch-list.
All eight episodes are streaming now on Netflix.
