Netflix fans are ‘glued’ to their screens watching ’10/10’ mini-series packed with unexpected twists

'I just binged this whole series and I can honestly give it a 10/10'

Netflix subscribers say they 'couldn't stop watching' a thriller series which has racked up perfect ratings.

I, personally, love a good scare from time-to-time - whether that's checking my bank account or hearing my friends' latest dating disaster. Most people prefer their thrills in the form of a movie or TV series, though.

And if you’re after something deeply unsettling and psychological, this raved-about mini-series deserves a spot on your Netflix watchlist.

The drama revolves around a woman named Lena (Kim Riedle), who is held captive for five months with two young children, Hannah (Naila Schuberth) and Jonathan (Sammy Schrein).

With just Hannah in tow, she manages to flee her anonymous captor as police investigate the circumstances of her abduction.

Authorities are led to a mysterious case of a girl who vanished some 13 years prior. Could Lena be linked to that very disappearance?

The show alternates between the present investigation and flashbacks to the disturbing life Lena and the children lived. As the layers are peeled back, shocking truths are revealed.

The series in question is called Dear Child, based on the book of the same name (Liebes Kind) by Romy Hausmann.

Taking to the Netflix Bangers Facebook Group, one fan said: "Dear Child on Netflix is MIND-BLOWING! 10/10, the suspense is KILLER."

A second added: "I just binged this whole series and I can honestly give it a 10/10," as a third wrote: "From the storyline, the plot twist and ending, it kept me glued to the TV."

A fourth said: "It’s rare that a show keeps me guessing but this one did just that," while someone else weighed in: "I started watching this last night, I have one episode left... I think this is brilliant, well worth watching."

Better yet, Dear Child has racked up a flawless 100 percent Rotten Tomatoes score, with critics hailing it a 'thrilling and twisted watch'.

One fan described the show as 'binge-worthy,' adding: "It had me right from the very start... and kept me on the edge of my seat."

"Gripping, heart-wrenching, horrifying," another summed up. "Could not stop watching."

And while some reviewers praised Dear Child's 'satisfying ending,' not everyone was in agreement.

"Good until the last 20 minutes of the series. Very disappointed," one viewer said, as another echoed: "It definitely made me curious at first but the end left me frustrated."

All six episodes of Dear Child are streaming now on Netflix.
