Netflix fans all watching 'one of the best series' with dramatic twist ending
Originally aired in 2023, the Australian-produced North Shore first graced UK screens on ITV and has now found a new lease of life on Netflix, captivating a fresh audience.
In less than a week since its Netflix debut, it has soared to become one of the platform's most-watched titles among subscribers, clinching the top spot for most-watched series in the UK.
It's outperforming new crime thrillers like The Waterfront and Dept. Q, but those without a Netflix account need not worry as it's still available for free streaming on ITVX.
The six-part series weaves a tale of Australian and British detectives who join forces to solve a murder, only to stumble upon an international conspiracy with far-reaching political implications, all set against a backdrop of cultural collision, reports Surrey Live.
Joining Froggatt in the cast is Game of Thrones actor John Bradley, adding to the show's allure.
Despite not garnering enough critical attention to earn a Rotten Tomatoes score, the series has sparked considerable buzz online among viewers.
One particularly enthusiastic fan took to social media to praise the finale: "One of the best twists of all time. The final episode has the most surprising twist of any crime/ murder mystery series since the first season of Broadchurch! Not as emotionally dramatic but still shocking!".
Echoing the same sentiment, another viewer expressed: "I really enjoyed this as it kept me guessing. Most crime dramas are too obvious and full of plot holes."
They further elaborated: "This one was very well written and I really didn't have any idea which way it was going to go, which kept me on the edge of my seat. The acting was also excellent and the backdrops a testimony to the beauty of Sydney."

Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 2 Jenny Ryan has been forced to give away free tickets to her comedy show in London Credit: Instagram/@jenny_from_the_quiz 2 The ITV star will be previewing her brand new show, Björn Yesterday on Saturday Credit: Splash Jenny will be performing a special singalong comedy investigation all about Swedish pop group Abba. The descriptions says she will go "public with her theory of the Mamma Mia multiverse". Tickets are usually priced around £15, but a number of tickets have been released for her July 5 show for no cost at all. Fans can bag themselves a free ticket to her one-hour show and will only need to pay a £4 admin fee. While those keen to be in the audience can also purchase a ticket for a little as £10, as stated on the website, depending on the day you go. Although fans may be able to secure themselves a bargain, a show insider said it's not highly unusual that free tickets are given away. A rep for the show told The Sun: "Often in hot weather for preview shows, if they're not completely sold out, it is standard practice to offer some complimentary tickets." Jenny will be previewing her brand new show, Björn Yesterday on Saturday. Jenny, known to many as The Vixen from The Chase, surprised fans last year as she embarked on a new adventure. Jenny hit the road last September with her Out of the Box tour, which ran until November. Watch as The Chase's Jenny Ryan reveals new role away from ITV show At the time she shared her excitement and nerves about stepping away from her stern quizmaster persona with the new venture. Speaking to show host Ed Balls on GMB, Jenny explained: "We took the show to Edinburgh Fringe last year really on sort of a whim. "It's a big risk to take something like this, as presenters know, after a stern role and you try something new. "It's a bit of a challenge for people to change their expectations and perceptions of you." The former MP joked "Tell me about it!", referencing his segue from a political career into presenting. When Ranvir Singh suggested that Jenny might find it difficult to return to The Chase after opening up to audiences, she said: "Putting myself out there to show a softer side of me, putting everything out there, my background, everything… was a bit of a risk. "But we sold out [at the Fringe] and we got such excellent feedback."

Together, the pairs had to decide which of the male Islanders they think have the most and least of that trait. Yasmin and Gio choose Dejon as the least dedicated. Yasmin explained her reasoning: 'I don't feel like you've dedicated yourself fully to the whole experience. "I hope you've only dedicated to getting to know one person…' Dejon remarked: 'I didn't know when all of a sudden it's become a problem wanting one woman.' Yasmin continued: 'There's other girls in here like Billykiss who picked you to go on a date because she was obviously attracted to you…' Meg interjects: 'Well he clearly doesn't want her.' Billykiss: 'Well he didn't say that. He didn't say he didn't want me." Meg hit back: "It's not up to you guys, we will decide ourselves." Love Island fans hit out at Islander branding him 'fake' and insist he's 'using girl' to stay in the villa She then said to Dejon: 'You say you're open then when she's not around you don't act like you're closed.' Dejon reacted: 'I don't care about any of your opinions, I know what I want and that's Meg." Billykiss replied: "Well close things off, even on the date when I asked if you were open and you wanted to get to know me, you said yes." Dejon fired back: "Please Billykiss, is this like your five minutes of TV or what? "I don't understand why you're still going on.' After some choice words between her and Meg, the exchange ended with Billykiss told Dejon: 'You don't want to hear the truth which is why you're feeling sour.' Viewers were full of praise for Billykiss as she finally delivered some home truths to Meg and Dejon. One wrote: "PLEASE WE NEED TO VOTE MEG AND DEJON OFF PLEASE!!" A second posted: "Meg stfu and leave the villa, don't bring your bitchy attitude to billykiss she's only saying what everyone thinks." A third said: "They're clocking Dejon it's been a month, he's not closing things off with Meg and has his tongue out whenever a new bombshell comes in. Game player." A fourth commented: "Close it then Dejon!! Like she needs to close her big mouth when kissing you. You don't want her and you know it." Another said: "Billykiss say your truth!!! Dejon is there to win, close it off if you don't want anyone else!"
