A 'hidden gem' Netflix mini-series has horror fans binge-watching it in just one night.

The streaming giant is home to thousands of titles, including gripping hit crime series and 'underrated' historical dramas.

But this anthology series - likened to a Norwegian version of Netflix hit Black Mirror - might just have slipped under your radar.

Made up of six, half-hour-long episodes, it's ideal for your next binge-watch.

Having originally released in 2020, the TV series tells a standalone horror story in each unique episode, with its own cast and setting.

The common thread is a mysterious 'spectral bus', seen in the opening of each episode, carrying passengers to their doomed destinations.

One episode follows a man leaving a psych hospital, who joins his brothers for a road trip.

But things quickly unravel, as the ride turns into a dark, twisted descent none of them saw coming.

Another is centered on a corporate drug trial which locks co-workers in a room with a serum that strips away all social niceties.

As ambition and fear take over, office politics turn into a grotesque and bloody free-for-all.

The show in question is called Bloodride, and you can catch its trailer below:

Taking to Reddit, one fan gushed about how incredible they thought the show was.

"Bloodride on Netflix is phenomenal," they began. "I started watching it pretty casually over the weekend and boy was I blown away."

Describing it as a horror anthology series 'with vaguely Black Mirror vibes', they added: "I haven't thoroughly enjoyed a show on Netflix for a little while now and then came this little gem of a show."

A second fan agreed: "It's excellent and original," as a third wrote: "I really hope they do another season of this show... worth 30 minutes of your time to watch. IMO a fun series to watch."

A fourth added: "I watched it in a single day. It was a bit predictable but highly enjoyable. I hope they make a season 2!"

Another weighed in: "A more concise Black Mirror. Plenty of twists and turns, predictable or otherwise, to keep your mind occupied and entertained."

Not everyone highly rated the series, as reflected in Bloodride's Rotten Tomatoes score. It wasn't rated by critics and earned just 59 percent from fans.

"Kind of a mixed bag," one viewer said. "Great if you are looking for a short watch as all of the episodes are stand alone.

"All of the episodes are also well made. I will say some episodes are definitely better than others."

Advert

Another summed it up: "Basically the Scandinavian version of a Black Mirror type anthology series, but horror (not tech/sci-fi).

"Each episode is like an interesting short story based on some horror concept, mostly realistic, that could be brought about by human flaws with a distinct mental illness vibe (think 'The Yellow Wallpaper').

"Not as highbrow or expertly crafted as Black Mirror, but each episode is interesting and disturbing enough to make it a decent watch."

Bloodride is streaming now on Netflix.
