Netflix's latest mini-series has been hailed as 'Ozark's worthy successor' by critics.
And fans are in agreement, having binge-watched all eight episodes in just one night. So if you're looking for your next weekend watch, then forget endlessly scrolling until you're exasperated.
Instead, grab your favorite snacks and settle down onto the couch, because Netflix is delivering the goods.
Starring Jude Law and Jason Bateman, the show debuted on Thursday (September 18). It's currently at the top of the Netflix US charts, above Beauty in Black and Wednesday.

The Order creators Zach Baylin and Kate Susman have reunited once again for the project, labelled a 'sharp, no-nonsense thriller'.
The Talented Mr. Ripley's actor stars as Jake Friedken, who owns a restaurant & VIP lounge in the heart of New York City.
But when his brother Vince Friedken - Arrested Development's Bateman - returns, troubled and in debt, Jake is quickly drawn into a murky criminal underworld, threatening everything he's worked so hard for.
Bateman directs the opening two episodes, while his Ozark co-star, Laura Linney, takes the helm for episodes three and four.
Ben Semanoff, whose past credits include Ozark, Yellowjackets, and The Old Man, directs episodes five and six.
The final two episodes, seven and eight, are directed by Justin Kurzel, acclaimed for his striking work on Macbeth.
The series in question is called Black Rabbit, named after Jake's nightclub.
"Black Rabbit is a propulsive thrill ride and character examination about the way an unbreakable bond between two brothers can shatter their world and everything in its orbit," Netflix says of the TV series.
So far, the show has racked up a solid 63 per cent score from Rotten Tomatoes critics and a slightly higher 67 per cent from viewers.
Chris Vognar from Boston Globe said Black Rabbit 'serves up high blood pressure for an appetizer, heart palpitations for an entree, and a panic attack for dessert...' adding: "And yet the series is eminently watchable, at times even addictive."
Similarly, Nick Schager from The Daily Beast described it as a 'gripping saga of loyalty and self-destructiveness that’s elevated by riveting performances from Bateman and Jude Law.'
Greg MacArthur of Screen Rant, meanwhile, said it's 'darkly thrilling, technically brilliant, and tragically human', adding: "It's not Netflix's Ozark replacement; it's Ozark's worthy successor."
Over on X, formerly Twitter, fans admitted to bingeing the show in just one evening.
"I binged the entire season without a single moment of boredom," one said.
"Black Rabbit is a great binge," another wrote the night it dropped, as a third marathon-watcher admitted it was 'an almost absurd mess' but also a 'nail biting thrilling!'
Black Rabbit is streaming now on Netflix.
