Netflix users are praising a ‘masterpiece’ drama they’re bingeing in just one day.
A British crime thriller has recently been added to the streaming platform. It has since climbed the charts and earned the number two spot in Netflix’s top 10 TV shows in the U.K.
The show has even surpassed the highly anticipated season seven of Black Mirror.
The harrowing drama has been praised by viewers, who have taken to social media to discuss it.
One person writes: “I just watched this on Netflix, amazing acting and was totally hooked, what a smash hit.”
“One of the best shows! Very good and breathtaking storyline, every time I hear its soundtrack, I always get the chills,” somebody else says. “It’s an absolute masterpiece. I always say the British are the best at crime dramas.”
“It has to be the best shows on TV. The British are the best at crime procedurals like this, it’s breathtaking,’ a third comments.
A fourth adds: “Superbly done, detective fiction thriller in the style of the French Connection and Black Mirror.
The mini crime series originally aired on ITV in 2015 and received a rating of 6.7/10 on IMDb.
Michael Samuels directed the series, which stars beloved actress Sheridan Smith, who was awarded an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) for her services to drama in 2015.
Smith is known for a range of sitcoms such as The Royle Family, Gavin & Stacey, and her award-winning performance in the theatre adaptation of Legally Blonde.
The crime series also stars Geraldine James, Douglas Henshall, Matthew McNulty, Kenny Doughty, and Andrew Knott.
The show’s office synopsis reads: “A widowed police officer defies orders and begins her own investigation into her husband’s death, revealing secrets from his undercover work.”
The three-part show sees Smith playing the lead role of policewoman Jo Gillespie as viewers follow her life turn upside down after her undercover policeman husband is killed.
Writer Matt Charman has shared the inspiration for Black Work with Screen Yorkshire: “Sheridan Smith is a dream to write for because, as an actress, there’s really nothing she can’t do.
“And Black Work is a story that pushes her to the limit – it makes her character, Jo Gillespie, doubt herself, her family, her friends, everything she’s always taken for granted in her search for her husband’s killer.”

Black Work is available to stream via Netflix.
