    We've found your new Netflix fix, folks.

    Sadly we still have a few months to wait for the third and final season of Squid Game (which the date of was announced in recent days), so I'm sure you'll be looking for other recommendations to bide your time with until then.

    And no, I don't mean Stranger Things final season either as I hate to break it to you, but the exact date it lands on the streaming platform is yet to be revealed.

    The Duffer Brothers have recently confirmed that they're ahead of schedule post-production wise, however, and that Stranger Things fans can expect the series to drop sometime this year, says MovieWeb.

    But, away from Netflix's biggest TV shows, there are smaller, newer projects being added to it, and there's one in particular that's been released earlier this month that fans are loving.

    Titled Cassandra, the German-language series - made up of six episodes - debuted on Netflix on February 6.

    The synopsis penned by Netflix for Cassandra reads: "Cassandra sees all, Cassandra hears all, Cassandra is everywhere. The smart home system and its electronic home assistant - played by Lavinia Wilson - have been shut down since the 1970s.

    "When Samira (Mina Tander) and her family move into the empty house, they're unaware that the reactivated system is no harmless household helper. Cassandra has very specific ideas about how things should run, and she won't tolerate any slip-ups. She combines an antiquated worldview with dark intentions."

    And just a few days after its release, the reviews are in.

    Taking to Facebook page Netflix Bangers, one person labeled Cassandra as 'insane'.

    They added: "I could give [a] personal rating [of] 10 out of 10!"

    Somebody replied to the post: "Watched this. Good but quite scary and weird!!!"

    A third said: "Fun one time watch! Kept the interest going."

    Echoing the 10/10 reviews, a different person penned: "This is defo a binge watch. I just watched all 6 episodes tonight. 10-10."

    Viewers have also been sharing Cassandra reviews on IMDb, where 14.1 percent of viewers gave it ten stars, 9.7 percent gave it nine stars, and 19.2 percent gave it eight stars (at the time of writing).

    Someone, who gave it 9/10, hailed the Netflix show as a 'must watch'.

    "This show is a rare gem," part of their rave review read.

    "It is a must watch, and I'm speechless at how good it is. The acting is emotive, and I didn't feel like there's a character that didn't fit, especially the actress doing Cassandra, her performance is spectacular."

    Cassandra is available to stream on Netflix now.
