Now, Netflix subscribers reckon a new Danish crime series is on-par - or as some claim, more shocking - than Adolescence.
The six-parter only just premiered on May 15 but has dominated the Netflix global charts.
Created by Ingeborg Topsøe and directed by Per Fly, the series delves into the mysterious disappearance of Ruby Tan, a young Filipino au pair, in an affluent Copenhagen suburb.
As local mom Cecilie (Marie Bach Hansen), investigates Ruby's vanishing, she uncovers unsettling truths about her community - including the complexities of privilege, racial bias and institutional failure.
