Looking for something new to watch on Netflix? Well, this thriller series is the streamer's biggest show you've never heard of.
With the amount of shows on the streaming platform, it can be pretty difficult to know what to watch.
You can, of course, stick on the classics like Stranger Things, but no matter how good that may be, it's always nice to binge something new, right?

Dark Desire follows esteemed lawyer and professor Alma Solares, who has a wild affair with a young man called Dario Guerra as she visits a friend to get away from her husband.
Things certainly take a sinister turn in this thriller though when Alma returns to work and discovers that Dario is now one of her students.
"What started as a minor adventure becomes an incendiary passion, and then a dangerous obsession, unravelling a chain of secrets of a past that fatally binds them all," an official synopsis adds.
The thriller stars the likes of Maite Perroni, Erik Hayser, Alejandro Speitzer, María Fernanda Yepes, Regina Pavón and Jorge Poza.

The first season of Dark Desire released in 2020, while a second season arrived for Netflix viewers in 2022.
Dark Desire sits at a 60 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes, with the vast majority of review scores being pretty good.
Emma Baty, from the Cosmopolitan, wrote: "Having seen only two episodes, I can't vouch for the entire season, but it seems like there are going to be plenty of twists and turns to keep people occupied."

Ready Steady Cut's Jonathon Wilson penned: "It's just sexy enough without being creepy and twisty enough without feeling too ridiculous, although the suspension of disbelief is basically mandatory when it comes to telenovelas anyway."
While reviewer Austin Burke added: "This show knows what it is. It knows it's audience... It does a good job of accepting that."
On Facebook's 'Netflix Bangers', many are comparing Dark Desire to another Netflix show, Fatal Seducation.
