Netflix subscribers are 'hooked' by a forgotten drama that has one of its five seasons sitting at a perfect 100 percent Rotten Tomatoes score.
With 5,000+ films and 2,500+ TV series on the much-loved streamer, there's no surprise we all miss out on a hit or two.
Of course, you've got the likes of Stranger Things and Squid Game that get all the plaudits, but there are so many hidden gems out there for fans to enjoy.
One of them being Blindspot, which debuted in 2015 and has seen a total of five series, having concluded in 2020 before it started streaming on Netflix.

The series tells the story of a woman, played by Jaimie Alexander, who was found in Times Square by the FBI with no memory of her identity or how she got there - but there's a whole lot more that happens over the course of the five seasons.
Blindspot tells the compelling story of how the woman tries to uncover her past and what exactly happened to her. She quickly realizes her tattoos play a key part in trying to solve this quest.
While the first series of Blindspot released a decade ago, some are tuning into the show for the very first time.
The TV series has become the talk of the town on the 'Netflix Bangers' Facebook page, with one person playing: "Started watching Blindspot and let me just say I am hooked!"
Many veteran fans of Blindspot took to the comments section of the Facebook to speak about their thoughts.
"My friend you got a loooooong way to go, that thing is sweeeeeet," one viewer penned.
A second added: "I watched it when it first came out. I loved it."
Not everyone was impressed with the TV series however, as another viewer shared their frustrations with one plot point, saying: "Dont [sic] waste your time. Jane's Daughter, Avery suddenly vanish from the story like she didn't exist. No one talked her whereabouts."
While the majority of Blindspot's series have reviewed well, it's season two of the show that was particularly liked by critics.
Tim Surette, from TV.com, penned: "As this episode demonstrated, Blindspot is better than most when uncorking episodes jammed with legitimate steps forward in its narrative trajectory. But beware the Mystery Trap."
Meanwhile, The Wrap's Amber Dowling said: "[Series creator Martin Gero] is taking some pretty big story swings with this premiere, swings that will pay off for established fans while also serving new viewers in a clever way."
Blindspot is available to stream on Netflix now.
