All have scored more than 70 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, but this eight-parter comes out on top, racking up an immaculate 10/10 from critics.
The TV series, released in 2021, follows a man whose nightmare-ish past comes back to haunt him.
Mateo (Mario Casas) was worked hard to build his dream life with wife Olivia (Aura Garrido); they're expecting their first child together and are even closing in on their dream home.
But all that's thrown up in the air when Olivia receives a worrying call while on a business trip. Nine years prior, Mateo had attempted to break up a fight, accidentally killing a man in the process.
But new developments means he might have to fight to clear his name once more. The series is based on - and named after - Harlan Coben's The Innocent.
