With just three episodes a new revenge thriller is ideal viewing in one weekend
Netflix fans are hooked on a new 'unsettling' three-part thriller viewers must watch this weekend.
Two Graves was released on the streaming platform just yesterday (August 29). In just a little over 24 hours, it has already become one of the most-watched titles among users.
At the time of writing, the limited series is sixth in the top 10 series in the UK. It could climb even higher over the weekend.
This is down in part because it only consists of three episodes, and viewers who have already watched it have commented on how easy it is to binge-watch. The Spanish production stars Money Heist and Wheel of Time actor Alvaro Morte and was created by award-winning novelist Agustin Martinez.
According to Netflix's synopsis, Two Graves is set two years after the disappearance of Verónica and Marta, a couple of 16-year-old friends, the investigation is declared closed due to lack of evidence and suspects.
The grandmother of one of the two girls, Isabel (Kiti Mánver), who has nothing to lose, decides to carry out an investigation beyond the law. Isabel will do whatever it takes to uncover the truth about what happened that night, and what begins as the search for a culprit soon becomes a story of revenge.
Two Graves hasn't received enough critical reviews to register a rating on Rotten Tomatoes, but the write-ups it has received suggest it is worth checking out despite some small issues.
A writer for TIME says it "tells a gripping and unsettling story in just three episodes." Meanwhile, Decider also gave their recommendation, despite wishing it was a movie release as they said: "We wish Two Graves was a bit shorter, but we like how intense Manver is as Isabel, and the plot of the series isn’t exactly going to make your brain hurt with a lot of twists and turns."
Good Housekeeping declared that: "Two Graves is the Netflix crime drama you'll want to stay up all night for."
Fans who have already watched the series also mention that it is an ideal binge-watch in just one evening or across a weekend. One person posted on social media saying, "The suspense is killing, and it will keep you hooked till the very end. This is a must-watch! Solid 8/10."
Someone else replied: "The best series I've seen in a long time, completely addictive and with very good actors."
Another gave their verdict posting: "This gripping new mini-series, starring Álvaro Morte (the legendary actor behind The Professor in Money Heist), is packed with suspense, drama, and twists you don’t want to miss."
Two Graves is streaming on Netflix.
