Netflix subscribers have been left feeling emotional over a 'close to perfect' thriller that has gone under most fans' radars.
While the festive season provides the perfect opportunity for a lot of food and drink, it's also a great time to sit down with the family and watch a brand new series or film.
Of course, you've got the classics to watch over and over again - but nothing beats finding something new and falling in love with it, right?
The latest and third season of Maestro in Blue on Netflix is the talk of the town on social media right now, with one fan dubbing it 'as close to perfection as a TV show can get'.

Some praise, but what is Maestro in Blue all about?
Well, it follows troubled musician Orestis, played by Christoforos Papakaliatis, who is working hard to see a local music festival return on the Greek island of Paxos.
However, reviving the popular show becomes Orestis' least of concerns after he is involved with a brutal murder alongside his partner Klelia, portrayed Klelia Andriolatou.
While the third outing of Maestro in Blue doesn't have a sufficient number of reviews to garner that all important Rotten Tomatoes score, critics who reviewed the series have spoken positively about it.
Plus, the first season got an impressive 91% audience score.
"The chemistry between the leads and the spectacular Mediterranean scenery will keep your eyes on Maestro In Blue, even if there are a few storytelling inconsistencies," Joe Keller, from the Decider wrote.
Speaking of the series' second season, Keller added: "Maestro In Blue has now become a full-blown soap... It’s got a lot of juicy drama, but we’re not sure if it can sustain being so scattered in scope."
Meanwhile, Archi Sengupta, from LeisureByte.com, said of season three: "Maestro in Blue season 3 is fantastic because of its believable performances, haunting score and a stunning Paxos that never fails to impress."
Morgan Freeman is among the growing number of fans for the Greek series, as he took to Instagram to urge his fans to watch Maestro in Blue.
"If you haven’t had the pleasure of watching Maestro in Blue, you’re truly missing something special. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Paxos—a small Greek island that’s close to my heart—this series is a masterpiece," he said.
"Mark your calendars, my friends. The third and final season arrives on @Netflix, December 28. Don't miss it."
Like Freeman said, you can watch Maestro in Blue season three and the first two series on Netflix now.
