A binge-worthy crime series people are watching in 'one afternoon' has been praised as 'gripping' by viewers.

Better yet, it stars a 'riveting' Oscar and Golden Globe-nominated actress who puts in a 'stellar' performance throughout.

The streaming giant has a jam-packed catalogue of quality crime dramas - but with so many choices, some are often overlooked.

Released back in 2018, this 'breathtaking' miniseries might have slipped under your radar. It's lead by Broadway and movie star Carey Mulligan,and makes for the ideal binge-watch.

Mulligan's previous roles include Cassie in 2020's Promising Young Woman, Daisy in The Great Gatsby alongside Leonardo DiCaprio, and Felicia in 2023's Maestro opposite Bradley Cooper.

In this miniseries, though, she plays a determined detective who's tasked with investigating the murder of a pizza delivery man.

Set in London, England (Mulligan is English, after all!), chaos ensues when Regal Pizza employee Abdullah Asif (Sam Otto) is gunned down by a masked shooter after making a delivery to Karen Mars (Doctor Who's Billie Piper) - who happens to be the ex-wife of the Shadow Minister for Transport.

A newly-promoted detective inspector Kip Glaspie (Mulligan) is assigned to take on the case.

She soon uncovers a 'tangled conspiracy involving drug dealers, smugglers and spies', the series synopsis explains.

The TV show in question is called Collateral, and you can watch its trailer below:

While they share the same name, this series isn't to be confused with the 2004 movie starring Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx!

Viewers have been quick to praise the 'simply brilliant' drama, taking to social media to share their thoughts.

"The only problem with binge watching a show as fabulous as Netflix thriller Collateral is that it’s all over in one wild afternoon," one X user wrote.

"Stellar cast, gripping story, engaging cinematography... Four parts! One binge... Thumbs up from us," a second praised.

"I'm loving Collateral on Netflix because I love watching Carey Mulligan be good at her job while casually smirking at things," a third quipped.

Over on Rotten Tomatoes, where fans awarded the series a pretty average 66 percent score and critics gave it 79 percent - one viewer wrote: "This series is simply brilliant.

"In fact, with each episode it gets better and better. Low-key but smart.

"The pace is breathtaking without being overwhelming. Honestly, this is the best of the best in my opinion."

A second agreed: "A dark, intelligently written detective series. Great lead performance by Carey Mulligan."
