Netflix Viewers Calling New Series '10/10' And Admitting They Watched It All In One Go

A brand new Netflix thriller is being praised by fans as a “10/10” must-watch, with many admitting they couldn’t stop until they had finished the entire series in a single sitting.

The intense drama has quickly become a word-of-mouth hit, being compared to some of Netflix’s biggest thrillers, and the best part is that it’s only five episodes long, making it easy to binge in one night.

Despite its short run, the show manages to pack in more suspense, shocking turns, and emotional moments than a lot of series manage to deliver across full seasons, leaving viewers on edge throughout.

The story focuses on a terrifyingly realistic scenario—when the British Prime Minister’s husband is abducted during an important diplomatic summit. At the same time, the French President faces a wave of serious threats that put her nation in danger.

As tensions rise, both leaders are forced to weigh whether to stand together in unity or to risk a dangerous showdown in a battle of political power and personal survival.

Fronting the cast is Suranne Jones, who plays UK Prime Minister Abigail Dalton. Fans are calling her performance one of her most powerful yet. Alongside her is Julie Delpy, who steps into the role of the French President, adding even more weight to the drama.

Sharing their thoughts online, one viewer wrote: "Hostage on Netflix is so, so good. The Brits know how to make TV."

Another posted: "Hostage on Netflix . 10/10," while a third added: "Watching Hostage on Netflix. Bingeing last two episodes. So good. I'd like to elect Suranne Jones as PM."

On Rotten Tomatoes, Hostage currently holds a 78 percent approval rating, but it’s really on social media where the excitement is exploding, with fans urging others to give it a watch.

"This one feels like ten episodes crammed into five, and I mean that as a compliment," one viewer shared enthusiastically.

Another wrote: "Just finished it in one sitting - couldn't look away! Suranne Jones is absolutely phenomenal."

Lead actress Suranne Jones has also spoken about the project, telling Netflix’s Tudum: "I'm thrilled to be on Netflix, in something I'm really proud of. It's been something I've wanted to do for a long time."

"We'd talked about projects previously, but for me, it was about finding the right thing. Hostage was perfect - me and Matt together, backed up by this brilliant, supportive team. I loved it."

Matt Charman, who created the show and is also known for Bridge of Spies, praised his co-star and the collaboration, saying: "I've been dying to find the right story to tell with Suranne, and I honestly believe what she's done with this character is going to blow the Netflix audience away."

"An embattled British PM in the middle of a fight for her country and her family - she's fierce, ruthless, and you can't take your eyes off of her."

The five-part series Hostage is streaming now on Netflix for anyone ready to dive into its edge-of-your-seat story.
