Viewers cannot get enough of a new drama with a 'pretty dark' story that you can stream on Netflix right now.

While we wait for the big releases like Stranger Things coming up later this year, it's always good to try something new that we wouldn't typically try during the busy release window.

And if you're into a certain type of drama, then Netflix's In The Mud may just be up your street - but be warned, there is certainly a fair bit of nudity in this new show, though not that it's stopped a film becoming popular before.

The crime-drama series dropped on the popular streaming platform last week and 'did not disappoint', according to viewers.

In The Mud follows five Argentinian women, Gladys Borges, Marina Delorsi, Olga Giulani, Yael Rubial, and Soledad Rodríguez, whose lives are turned upside down when the prison transport they’re in is involved in an accident.

But as soon as they reach La Quebrada Penitentiary, these five women quickly realize that they will have to stick together to ensure they survive in a world that is dominated by new forces.

The story progresses to unexpected levels as the five characters unravel a terrifying mystery hidden within the prison - but how will it all play out?

In The Mud has become the talk of the town on the 'Netflix Bangers' Facebook group, with many subscribers having watched the show in recent days.

"I liked it it was addicting," one person penned, while a second quipped: "I want more!!"

Meanwhile, a third warned to be careful if you've got little ones running about, adding: "Definitely not watchable with kids around. So much nudity haha."

And a fourth quipped: "I’m halfway through it and loving it."

While In The Mud doesn't have enough reviews from critics to earn a Rotten Tomatoes score, it has had a few people within the industry write about it in the past week.

The Decider dubbed the drama 'pretty dark', adding: "It definitely may not be for everyone, but it has done a good job of setting up the main characters and how they’ll manage at one of the bleakest prisons we’ve seen on TV in a while."

Meanwhile, Diego Batlle, from Otroscines.com, wrote: "In the Mud is a series that constantly oscillates between embracing genre stereotypes and breaking away from it to offer a story with a more contemporary and recognizable imprint."

While Heaven of Horror's review stated: "It’s very dark and cruel in many ways, but also character-driven with great (and some awful) characters."
