Netflix subscribers have been recommending a mini-series with a flawless Rotten Tomatoes score you might have never heard of.
The streaming service has plenty to offer, from 'criminally overlooked' TV shows to 'incredibly moving' short movies.
But if you're currently lacking binge-watch inspiration, then read on.

This eight-part TV series is not only gripping, but has a 'beautifully unique' ending viewers can't stop talking about.
Better yet, the show has clocked up a 100 percent Rotten Tomatoes score across 24 critics' reviews.
The series is set across two countries, England and Japan, with the action unfolding across their capitals, London and Tokyo.
It was first broadcast on the BBC in 2019 before joining Netflix the following year.

Since joining the streamer, it has been watched for more than 8.3 million hours, according to FlixPatrol.
The show follows Tokyo detective Kenzo Mori (Takehiro Hira), who is dispatched to London to investigate the apparent murder of Saburō Endo - nephew of Yakuza boss Fukuhara.
Kenzo’s younger brother Yuto (Yōsuke Kubozuka), who was long thought dead, is the prime suspect.

As Kenzo navigates the unfamiliar alleys of London’s underworld, he teams up with DC Sarah Weitzmann (Kelly Macdonald) and crosses paths with Rodney Yamaguchi (Will Sharpe), a half-Japanese rent boy whose knowledge of the city’s criminal fringes proves invaluable.
Caught between loyalty to his family in Tokyo and the pursuit of truth, Kenzo must uncover whether Yuto is guilty or just a pawn in a larger scheme that could ignite a gang war back home.
The mini-series, made up of eight episodes, was brought up during a recent Reddit discussion.
One social media user took to R/Netflix to ask: "What’s a hidden gem on Netflix that you always recommend but no one ever seems to watch?"
The thread received 1.5k responses, but one came out on top; Giri/Haji - the series we're talking about.

"It’s so excellent," the first person to recommend the show said.
"I’d forgotten about that - it was absolutely wonderful!" a second wrote, adding: "I recommended it to everyone."
A third commented: "Came here to say this. There's one part that genuinely gave me goosebumps, it was so beautifully shot."

"Watched it when it originally aired on the BBC, rewatched it on Netflix (was even better, second time around)," somebody else raved. "Will definitely watch it again at some point in the future."
Another weighed in on the show's ending, writing: "YES!! The way they did the final episode was so beautiful and completely unique."
Others commented on how they'd never even heard of Giri/Haji before, but were keen to add it to their watch-lists now.
All eight episodes of Giri/Haji are available to stream now on Netflix.
