Netflix fans have boosted a 'beautifully made' mini-series to the top of the TV charts in 37 different countries.

From a 'disturbing' true crime documentary to a series hailed 'drama of the year,' we're spoilt for choice at the moment.

But if there's one thing you should be watching this week, it's this 'rare' TV series based on a harrowing true story.

The five-part drama is currently is topping the global Netflix TV charts, but you still might not have heard of it.

According to FlixPatrol, it's been streamed for more than 33 million hours since its October 15 release.

Set in the 1960s, the mini-series stars Narcos: Mexico's Tessa Ía as Valeria Goldberg, a young woman and mom-of-two from an influential Jewish-Mexican family.

Her marriage to powerful heir and baby daddy Leo Saltzman (Zorro's Emiliano Zurita) is more of a business transaction than true love.

After uncovering Valeria's secret affair with his brother Samuel (Juan Manuel Bernal), Leo decides to get revenge in the most unthinkable way.

He orchestrates the kidnap of his and Valeria's two kids, Isaac (Alexander Varela) and Tamara (Marion Siro), and flees the country.

Devastated, Valeria is willing to do whatever it takes to track down her children.

The Spanish language TV series draws from the memoir Nadie nos vio partir by Tamara Trottner, who was abducted as a child along with her brother by their father in Mexico in 1968.

The show in question is called No One Saw Us Leave, and all five episodes are streaming now on Netflix.

Viewers rated the mini-series a '10/10' (Netflix)

"No One Saw Us Leave is a compelling example of a book-to-screen adaptation done right, avoiding too much unnecessary padding to deliver a good story," a third concluded.

Hype for No One Saw Us Leave is building on X, formerly Twitter, too.

Admitting it's their latest Netflix binge, one viewer wrote: "It’s good and touching and sad, all at the same time."

Another social media user asked why more people weren't talking about the chart-topping series.

A third hailed it a 'must-watch.'
