Prime Video viewers binge '10/10' thriller series that's 'no one is talking about'

'What a stunning series'

Prime Video subscribers are raving over a new '10/10' series starring two major actors.

And viewers are loving it so much, they're binge-watching it in just one night.

As autumn draws nearer and the days start turning colder, there’s no better time to cosy up indoors and get stuck into a new obsession.

The thriller in question consists of six episodes, which fans are branding an 'edge-of-your-seat' thrill ride.

Better yet, the TV series sees a House crossover, with House of Cards' star Robin Wright and House of the Dragons' Olivia Cooke leading the cast.

It follows Laura Sanderson (Wright), who appears to have it all; a successful art gallery, a loving husband and a close relationship with her adult son, Daniel (Laurie Davidson).

But that's all thrown into question when Daniel introduces his new girlfriend, Cherry Laine (Cooke).

Laura becomes suspicious of Cherry: Is she hiding secrets? Is she manipulative? Or is Laura’s protectiveness - or perhaps paranoia - warping her perception of reality? Laura is on a mission to find out, and things get pretty messy and loyalties are tested...

The series in question is called The Girlfriend and it released on Prime Video on September 10.

Taking to X, formerly Twitter, one passionate fan asked: "The Girlfriend on Prime is F**KING GOOD and why is no one talking about it??"

A second declared: "Just finished The Girlfriend on prime, now that was REAL TV. Absolute 10/10!!

A third agreed: "Just wrapped up The Girlfriend on Prime Video. What a stunning series. Every moment was a treat I can’t lie. 10/10."

The discussion continued over on Reddit, where one person described the show as an 'edge of the seat psychological thriller' and asked others for their thoughts.

One fan who admitted to watching the entire thing in one night said: "I kept waiting to put it away and watch tomorrow but you know a girl has to know what is going to happen."

A second admitted: "Oh yes I wanted to watch the whole thing in one sitting too. I had plenty of popcorn but I had to stop each time after two episodes because I had to let it marinate it was so crazy. I would love another season."

"Just finished it and also loved it!" a third said. "No one plays the b***h like Robin Wright!"

Despite fans declaring the show a 10/10 - and it debuting with a 100 percent Rotten Tomatoes score from critics - the ratings have since slipped down a bit.

Critics have rated it 88 percent, calling it a 'a twisty thriller that strains credulity with so much aplomb that audiences won't mind'.

Meanwhile, audience members gave it a 74 percent rating.

The Girlfriend is streaming now on Prime Video.
