Netflix consistently releases a plethora of new content on its streaming platform, making it simple to overlook potential hidden gems.

Despite popular shows like Black Mirror, Stranger Things, and Sex Education dominating the top ten lists with each new release, there's a series from 2017 that continues to garner praise.

This particular show has earned a reputation for being underrated, and even for those who have yet to discover it, the good news is that there are three entire seasons available for you to catch up on.

The series sparking conversations is Dark, marking the inaugural German-speaking original production created by the streaming giant.

The synopsis for season one reads: "When two children go missing in a small German town, its sinful past is exposed along with the double lives and fractured relationships that exist among four families as they search for the kids."

"The mystery-drama series introduces an intricate puzzle filled with twists that includes a web of curious characters, all of whom have a connection to the town's troubled history - whether they know it or not. The story includes supernatural elements that tie back to the same town in 1986."
