Comprising of one season - so far - its eight episodes center around CNN media pundit Muncie Daniels (Domingo) who stumbles upon a body in the woods in Pennsylvania and well, the madness only descends from there - the series aptly titled The Madness.
The first season only came out on November 28, but it hasn't taken long for viewers to flood to social media to weigh in on the series.
The series was shared onto LADbible Facebook Group Netflix Bangers with a user asking others how they'd rate it.

Will there be a second season of The Madness?
In conversation with Deadline about his future as an actor and the series, Domingo noted he's 'very conscious' about 'making a difference' and 'doing things that matter in the world'.
"I can see the lines of my work very clearly, because I’m very conscious of it. I’m not just gonna take the next thing that’s gonna bring me a lot of access and money or platform," he added.

And while nothing has been officially confirmed as of yet, when asked about the potential of a second season Domingo said: "Listen, I don’t really say this a lot about any show because I like going from moment to moment and having great moments in a show and moving on with my life and doing something else.
"This show, I think there’s more from Muncie. I would really love to engage with a Season 2, so we’ll see if people think he’s got more story in him as well, so I hope people watch."
You can stream The Madness on Netflix now.
