A binge-worthy crime series people are watching in 'one afternoon' has been praised as 'gripping' by viewers.
Better yet, it stars a 'riveting' Oscar and Golden Globe-nominated actress who puts in a 'stellar' performance throughout.
The streaming giant has a jam-packed catalogue of quality crime dramas - but with so many choices, some are often overlooked.

Released back in 2018, this 'breathtaking' miniseries might have slipped under your radar. It's lead by Broadway and movie star Carey Mulligan,and makes for the ideal binge-watch.

Mulligan's previous roles include Cassie in 2020's Promising Young Woman, Daisy in The Great Gatsby alongside Leonardo DiCaprio, and Felicia in 2023's Maestro opposite Bradley Cooper.
In this miniseries, though, she plays a determined detective who's tasked with investigating the murder of a pizza delivery man.

Set in London, England (Mulligan is English, after all!), chaos ensues when Regal Pizza employee Abdullah Asif (Sam Otto) is gunned down by a masked shooter after making a delivery to Karen Mars (Doctor Who's Billie Piper) - who happens to be the ex-wife of the Shadow Minister for Transport.
A newly-promoted detective inspector Kip Glaspie (Mulligan) is assigned to take on the case.
She soon uncovers a 'tangled conspiracy involving drug dealers, smugglers and spies', the series synopsis explains.
The TV show in question is called Collateral, and you can watch its trailer below:
While they share the same name, this series isn't to be confused with the 2004 movie starring Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx!
