Netflix fans urged to watch 100% rated Michael B Jordan series as his new horror movie Sinners is released

Viewers hailed it a 'diamond in the rough'

Michael B Jordan is back with his latest blockbuster Sinners - and it's the perfect chance to re-watch the top-rated Netflix series the actor starred in a few years back.

If you're anything like me, you always need a captivating TV series to binge-watch in the evenings.

Netflix is stacked with top-quality entertainment, from the latest season of Black Mirror to this 'underrated' mini-series Stephen King says is 'as good as Queen's Gambit'.

But Michael B Jordan's two-season Netflix series was hailed a 'diamond in the rough' by fans.

With a stellar supporting cast, too, it's easy to see why.

For now, Jordan has returned to the silver screen in a double role in Sinners. He stars as identical twin brothers and World War I veterans, Smoke and Stack, who are trying to leave their troubled lives behind.

Returning to their hometown of Mississippi to start again, they soon discover that 'an even greater evil is waiting to welcome them back', as per the movie's synopsis.

Anyway, if you're wanting another Jordan fix - perhaps after or even before you've got your Sinners ticket - then look no further.

The Netflix series, made up of 17 episodes in total, follows single mom Nicole (Alisha Wainwright) who is dealing with raising her son Dion (Ja'Siah Young) after the death of her husband Mark (Jordan).

Raising a child while grieving is hard enough as it is, but soon Nicole realizes her son has superhero-like abilities.

Nicole must now keep her son's gifts secret with the help of Mark's best friend Pat (Jason Ritter), all while protecting Dion from people out to exploit him.

They're also eager to discover the origin of Dion's superpowers, which is no easy feat.

The series in question is called Raising Dion, and you can watch its trailer below:

The show's season two boasts a perfect, 100 percent Rotten Tomatoes critic score, while on the whole Raising Dion has earned a still-impressive 91 percent.

The critics' consensus for season one read: "While its family drama and superhero aspirations don't quite come together, compelling performances and a sense of wonder keep Raising Dion afloat and suggest that with a little more guidance it could become something great."

Viewers were slightly more favorable in their own reviews, with one fan hailing the show 'a diamond in the rough'.

A second reckoned the show was 'as good as Stranger Things', while a third gave their verdict: "I don't find it to be some insane masterpiece, but I think that it had a lot of amazing twists and turns."

Raising Dion is available to stream now on Netflix.
