Netflix viewers say new 18-part thriller is so good they wanted it to be longer

An 18-part thriller has come to Netflix and viewers are so obsessed they wished it was longer.

The Queen of Flow and Jane the Virgin may've once dominated Netflix as some of the platform's most popular telenovelas, but a new 18-episode thriller has recently hit the streaming service and viewers are obsessed.

Prepare to wake up tired tomorrow after trying to binge-watch as much of the series as possible tonight:

Pact of Silence has sent viewers' pulses racing and left them itching for more.

It is written by José Vicente Spataro - best known for 2012 release Relaciones Peligrosas - and directed by Carlos Villegas Rosales - who worked on La Reina del Sur (2011).

The telenovela stars Camila Valero, Chantal Andere, Adriana Louvier, Marimar Vega and Litzy.

The official Netflix synopsis for the series - which is set in Mexico - reads: "Under the cover of night, four teens take an infant to a remote location and leave her in a rundown building.

"Waiting to pick them up is their school headmistress, Ramona. She’s helping the girls hide the pregnancy and is now assisting in abandoning the child, later named Brenda.

"Brenda survives a childhood living in squalor - but barely.

"After pulling herself out of poverty, Brenda becomes a well-connected influencer with millions of followers.

"She’s powerful, she’s confident, and she wants to make sure the people who left her for dead - especially her biological mother - pay for what they did. First on her list: Ramona."

The 18 episodes feature titles such as 'All or None', 'Betrayals', 'Stalked', 'From Love to Hate' and 'I Am Your Mother'. And if that isn't enough to get you hooked, don't just take my word for it, hear what viewers have been saying too.
