Netflix subscribers given days to stream ‘powerful’ mini-series before it’s pulled from platform

'A beautiful yet harrowing show. A work of art!'

There's not long left to stream a 'must-watch' Netflix original series before it's removed from the platform for good.

Co-created and executive-produced by Cate Blanchett, who also features in a supporting role, the series was first released in 2020.

However, as we all know, the streamer is continually adding new content, from gripping crime series to intriguing mystery dramas, all storming the platform's global charts.

There's plenty to keep us occupied, but these new additions can mean we sometimes lose track of underrated series which are added over the years, too.

Of course, Netflix shakes things up every so often, regularly removing films and TV shows from its catalogue. Usually, this catches us out, and we don't realize that the series we kept procrastinating is leaving before it's already gone.

So if you're yet to catch this 'powerful,' six-episode drama that's partially inspired by real-life events, then you'd better act fast.

The series follows the lives of four strangers whose paths cross in unexpected ways at an Australian immigration detention center.

Flight attendant Sofie Werner (The Handmaid's Tale's Yvonne Strahovski), who, when attempting to escape a cult, finds herself detained under false pretences.

Blanchett plays Pat Masters, the charismatic yet manipulative leader of the GOPA - Growing One's Potential Achievement - cult.

Then there's Ameer (Fayssal Bazzi), an Afghan refugee trying to secure a better future for his family and Clare Kowitz (Asher Keddie), a public servant embroiled in the politics of border control - as well as and Cam Sandford (Jai Courtney), a working-class father who becomes a detention officer.

The 'harrowing yet beautiful' series lifts the lid on the emotional trauma of immigration systems and detention centers.

Titled Stateless, you can catch its trailer below:

All six episodes are set to be removed from Netflix on Wednesday (June 25), so if it's been collecting digital dust on your watch list, then now's the time to start bingeing.

Stateless notched up a solid score of 81 per cent from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, while audience members ranked it slightly higher at 86 per cent.

The site's critics' consensus wasn't quite so favorable, reading: "Stateless has great performances and good intentions, but its harrowing real-life tale is undermined by its underdeveloped characterization of the refugee experience."

Audience members, however, were full of praise for the series.

Describing it as a 'cool watch that came out of nowhere,' one fan wrote: "This story was really powerful and the cast was phenomenal.

"Parts were eerie and uncomfortable... but truly a powerful show and ended in a truly undeniable way."

Over on Reddit, the discussion continued as another viewer said: "It's a beautiful yet harrowing show. A work of art!"

Describing it a 'must-watch,' someone else penned: "The characters had so many layers... I was constantly intrigued by the decisions they made."

Another fan agreed: "The acting was brilliant. The characters were complex and the stories were compelling."

Stateless is streaming now on Netflix until Wednesday, June 25.
