Netflix subscribers are raving over a South Korean action-thriller to have dropped on the streaming platform recently that has a perfect Rotten Tomatoes score to date.

Summer time can be a bit of a slower burner for new releases on the streaming platform, so anything new coming on the streamer during this July/August time is certainly welcomed.

While Netflix always documents its latest shows to release online, it's always a good idea to look around on social media forums to see what fans are watching and talking about.

The current talk of the town is a new series known as Trigger, which follows a police officer who crosses paths with a citizen that helps shed light on a 'societal evil at play', according to Tudum.

The officer was initially tasked with finding out why more military-grade automatic weapons are being couriered to Korean citizens despite the fact South Korea is meant to be one of the safest places in the world.

Featuring the likes of Kim Nam-gil, Kim Young-kwang, as well as Squid Game actors Lee Suk and Kim Joong-hee, Trigger also has a stellar lineup, alongside an incredible story that many fans were 'skeptical' of.

Despite that, one fan has been left hooked by the 'bittersweet ending'.

One fan penned on Twitter: "I was skeptical about the plot, but Netflix’s #Trigger was way better than I expected with a bittersweet ending. It definitely shows that the screenwriter & director are the same person. He did a great job bringing his vision to life."

After episode one of the action-thriller dropped last week, Thriller has achieved a 100 percent Rotten Tomatoes score - meaning industry critics can't think more highly of it.

Joel Keller, from the Decider, penned in his review: "Trigger tries to address some big issues via what seems like a straightforward case about illegal weapons. But those big issues underpin what looks to be an action-filled thriller."

Ready Steady Cut's Jonathon Wilson wrote: "Trigger argues that any nation with easy access to guns would behave the same way, and perhaps Korea, with its wealth disparity, inordinately high suicide rate, and famously extreme academic pressure and career expectations, would fare worst of all."

While the Movies and Munchies YouTube channel said: "The action overshadows [shortcomings] to deliver heart-pounding and gut-wrenching sequences that will pucker your butt thanks to the extreme anxiety."

You can make your mind up for yourselves as Trigger is available to stream on Netflix now.
