Netflix fans make bold prediction after watching new ’10/10’ miniseries that is ‘top tier’

A delay to the show's launch sparked much criticism

Netflix subscribers are raving over a 'top-tier' new release, calling it a '10/10' - a major comeback after the streamer previously faced backlash over its launch.

The three-part miniseries was initially due to drop in March, but was delayed without explanation, angering fans.

However, the three-part documentary finally landed on May 14 and has so far racked up plenty of praise.

Titled American Manhunt: Osama bin Laden, it gives an in-depth look at the assassination of infamous Al-Qaeda leader, Osama bin Laden.

Featuring interviews with key government figures who helped in the global manhunt, the first episode explores the immediate aftermath and emergency response to 9/11.

The second focuses on the years-long pursuit of bin Laden and the challenges the US government faced, while the third and final episode recounts the historic raid of bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan and his consequential elimination.

The series was supposed to release on March 10 but didn’t, causing some angry Netflix users to threaten to cancel their subscriptions.

Speculation about its delayed debut mounted; some theorized it was distasteful as it coincided with the holy month of Ramadan, which ran from Friday February 28 until Sunday March 30.

Others pointed out that March 10 was bin Laden's birthday - he was born in Saudi Arabia in 1957, making him 54 years old when he was killed.

Despite the theories, the reasons remain unproven - and Netflix stayed silent.

That all seems to be forgotten about now, though, as viewers have since swarmed to social media to praise the documentary series since its May 14 release.

Taking to X, formerly Twitter, one fan made a bold claim: "Literally 20 min into American Manhunt: Osama Bin Laden, I feel this is going to be the most watched documentary on Netflix," they penned, adding: "Top stuff."

"Didn't have it in me to watch basketball tonight so we watched American Manhunt: Osama bin Laden on Netflix," one fan said, continuing: "10/10 would recommend."

"American Manhunt: Osama Bin Laden on Netflix is an absolute must watch," a third chipped in. "Top tier content."

A fourth reckoned the series gave them 'chills'.

From directors Mor Loushy and Daniel Sivan, the documentary is the next in the streamer's American Manhunt series, which has so far included American Manhunt: O.J. Simpson and 2023’s American Manhunt: The Boston Marathon Bombing.

All three episodes of American Manhunt: Osama bin Laden are streaming now on Netflix.

UNILAD previously contacted Netflix for comment.
