Netflix users are flooding to social media in praise of a 'series that makes you forget your phone exists'.
Look, isn't that what we're all in need of these days? As much as we try to argue our lives aren't taken up by our phones, it's easy to find yourself scrolling aimlessly while only half paying attention to a series in the background.
However, thankfully there's one mini-series which is so 'gripping' you won't be able to rip your eyes away from the big screen even if your phone pings at you. Prepare to add another suggestion to your 'To Watch' list:

Directed and written by Isabel Kleefeld and Julian Pörksen, the six-episode German limited series is based on the bestselling novel of the same name written by Romy Hausmann.
It stars Kim Riedle (Back for Good), Naila Schuberth (Bird Box Barcelona) and Sammy Schrein (Every You Every Me).
The mini-series focuses on the story of kidnap victim Jasmin Grass (Riedle) who managed to break free after five months of being imprisoned.
During her time held hostage, she was kept under strict conditions and looked after two young children Hannah (Schuberth) and Jonathan (Schrein) also in the abductor's dwelling.
However, just because she's free, doesn't mean she's safe.
While it may've first been released in September 2023, some viewers are only stumbling across the thriller - titled Dear Child - for the first time and have flooded to social media to share their reviews.
The thriller has achieved an impressive audience score of 85 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, alongside an perfect 100 percent Tomatometer score.
And Dear Child has even found itself posted about on the Facebook Group Netflix Bangers, a user sharing its poster alongside the caption: "Can't stop watching."

"I stayed up way past my bedtime watching Dear Child on Netflix," a second added.
