'Intense and chaotic' Netflix crime thriller dubbed 'the new Ozark' rockets to the top of the charts
The streaming giant dropped all eight episodes of the hit last month and viewers have been binge-watching it ever since.
It's also led to the show soaring up the charts, with it currently sitting comfortably in Netflix's top 10 shows, pulling in 11.6million streams to date.
Called The Waterfront, the new dark drama's cast includes nineties movie star Holt McCallany and Grown Ups star Maria Bello.
Melissa Benoist and Jake Weary also star in the fan-favourite hit.
The series' backdrop is the picturesque North Carolina coastline and focuses on the Buckley family
Set in the fictional town of Havenport, the story follows the troublesome clan as their fishing empire crumbles around them.
Despite its current modest 64% Rotten Tomatoes score, viewers have flooded social media with positive reviews.
One posted: 'I was originally interested because Melissa Benoist is in it, but the rest of the cast got me even more, and honestly it looks like the show could be really fun too!'
A second penned: 'The Waterfront, a new series is coming! From Kevin Williamson. This is definitely giving me the same vibes as Ozark did!'
'I enjoyed the show. Reminded me of Ozarks a little bit, certainly not as good, but still thought it was solid,' said a third fan.
A fourth commented: 'Absolutely loving Belle Buckley's style in #TheWaterfront on #Netflix. Polished. Sophisticated. Mature yet still youthful.'
While a fifth remarked: 'I was originally interested because Melissa Benoist is in it, but the rest of the cast got me even more, and honestly it looks like the show could be really fun too!'
Meanwhile, a hugely addictive thriller has finally been made free to stream after its shock axe from Netflix that left fans seething.
Fans have flooded social media with their positive reviews
The streaming giant removed the hit show, which has a respectable 88% Rotten Tomatoes score, last year.
However, How To Get Away With Murder has now been made available to stream once again - and even for free.
The smash-hit legal drama originally aired between 2014 and 2020, running for six seasons before its cancellation.
Viola Davis plays the lead role of defence attorney and professor Annalise Keating as the series follows her life.
As the drama unfolds, Annalise becomes caught up in a murder plot that involves five of her students.
In 2015, Davis became the first African American to win an Emmy for best lead actress in a drama series.
How To Get Away With Murder's six seasons has now officially landed on Channel 4's streaming site, which doesn't require a subscription.

Nick Saban's daughter speaks out on rumors legendary coach is coming out of retirement
Nick Saban is not coming out of retirement, his daughter has insisted. Rumors swirled earlier this week that the seven-time national champion at Louisiana State and Alabama was eying a return to the sidelines a couple of years after his final season in Tuscaloosa. 'A very much in-the-know person that I have a lot of respect for and have spent a lot of time around, and just really, really admire – they seem to think Nick Saban is not done coaching,' former Crimson Tide quarterback Greg McIlroy sad on Monday's 'Mac and Cube' show in Birmingham. 'He's pretty adamant that he thinks Nick Saban will be coaching again.' Asked for his source, McIlroy opted against revealing too much but did emphasize this person is definitely a high-level college football insider. 'If it wasn't someone notable, I would never say a word,' McIlroy said. 'He is of firm belief that Nick Saban will coach in college football again.' But some would say there are no sources more reliable than Saban's own family and his daughter, Kristen, has refuted those claims. She posted a picture on her Instagram story of her dad walking onto the field with the caption: 'Damn, I miss this.' Fans thought she was fueling those claims that Saban was going to return to the sideline. But it seems she was not. 'Apparently, some of y'all feel trolled by my last story of Nick's walkout… he's not coming back to coaching, hate to break it to you,' Kristen then said in another post. 'You had your time.' Saban retired after the 2023-24 college football season, which saw his Alabama team lose to the Michigan Wolverines in the Rose Bowl. Now a co-host on ESPN's College GameDay, Saban was replaced at Alabama by former Washington head coach Kalen DeBoer, who went 9-4 in his first season at the helm. Many speculated on social media that Saban's possible return was down to reports that Donald Trump is set to sign an executive order for NIL standards. Since 2021, and under pressure from states and the courts, the NCAA has allowed student-athletes to profit from their name, image and likeness (NIL). Student-athletes can now be compensated for merely showing up to play and can earn a profit for spokesperson gigs, clothing and autograph sales and more. Additionally, a legal ruling on June 6 allowed colleges to directly pay players via revenue sharing for the first time. The settlement of House v. NCAA marked the end of the NCAA's previous model of amateurism, in which athletes were not allowed to earn money while in school. Schools can now share up to $20.5million of their revenues with their athletes. The reports of an upcoming executive order come one day after a House subcommittee advanced a bill along party lines that would establish national standards for student-athlete sponsorships. Called the SCORE Act, the proposed legislation would supersede current state laws regulating NIL. The White House has not commented on the latest report of an NIL-related executive order, but President Trump has a long history of expressing interest in sports. He has attended many major sporting events, including several prominent college football games like the Army-Navy football game last December. Saban has been critical of the NIL funding in the past, largely because he was concerned about the effect on college football. The NIL era also has brought a rise to the transfer portal era, with thousands of students across all sports seeking to move schools - some of them for bigger paydays.

Watch Love Island star Shakira's brutal blink and you'll miss it dig at Harrison as he quit the villa – did you spot it?
LOVE Island star Shakira made a brutal dig at Harrison as he quit the villa - but if you blink you'll miss it - did you spot it? The 22-year-old from Burnley entered this year's villa as an OG Islander. 6 6 6 In recent scenes, Shakira clashed with partner Conor Phillips over a comment made by co-star Harrison Solomon. The footballer, 22, claimed in a challenge: "We had a conversation - me, you and H - basically what was said was, you like [Conor] more than Ty. "But I don't think you like Con as much as you like Harry." Following the game, Conor had a chat with fellow villa lads Harrison, Harry and Dejon. Shakira later told him that her words had been "twisted" and that what Conor had been told by the other boys was "b******s". Conor argued: "They're saying it when they have nothing to gain from it." However, Shakira shot back: "Of course they have things to gain from it. The biggest f*****g game players about. £25 f*****g k." She then went on to call Harrison and Harry liars and cockroaches However, Harrison decided to leave the show after Lauren was savagely dumped from the villa the night before. And as he grabbed his suitcase and walked away from the villa, an eagle-eyed fan spotted Shakira's brutal dig. Love Island's Shakira leaves fans stunned as she 'breaks the fourth wall' with surprise comment Posting the clip on TikTok, the fan captured the moment and captioned it: "Shakira, the gift that keeps on giving." In the video, Shakira slowly licks her lips as Harrison walks off with his suitcase. And because Harrison licks his lips all the time on the show - fans are convinced she's mocking that. Fans flocked to comment and one wrote: "I think she's mimicking him cause he always does that tongue thing." "She's mocking his tongue thing because he always sticks his tongue out and licks his lips," added another fan. While a third said: "She should of just dumped him tbh dk why she kept him there." Shakira was previously coupled up with footballer Harry, 30, during their time in the ITV2 show. She met bombshell Ty Isherwood, 23, during Casa Amor and subsequently coupled up with him. The two bonded quickly after he and five other new hunks arrived in the villa. However, she would later recouple with fellow OG Islander Conor just days later. The Irish rugby player, 25, had previously put himself forward to couple up with Shakira on Day 2 - but she opted for Harry at the time. 6 6 6
