Netflix viewers obsessed with 'ruthless' show they can't stop watching
Netflix viewers have been left completely obsessed with a show that is so gripping, fans say that viewers won't be able to stop watching it once they've started Netflix fans have been urged to watch a 'bingeworthy' series that's bound to keep you glued to your TV screen. Known for sharing streaming recommendations on his TikTok account, TV and film critic Eccy Reviews insists that the AMC+ original show Kin will have you on the edge of your seat. Kin is available to stream in both the UK and US and follows the Kinsella clan as they navigate difficult power dynamics while striving to protect their family amid a vicious drug war that pushes their bonds to breaking point. The compelling drama unfolds over two seasons with eight episodes apiece, boasting a stellar cast including Charlie Cox, Clare Dunne, Aiden Gillen, Emmett Maria Doyle Kennedy, Sam Keeley, Yasmin Seky, Ciarán Hinds, and Francis Magee. Eccy Reviews said: "Once you start this, you won't be able to stop yourself from finishing it as it is so good. It's gripping, it's entertaining and it's absolutely ruthless." Viewers have been vocal in their praise, with comments on Eccy's video reflecting the enthusiasm. One viewer exclaimed: "I tell everyone to watch Kin! It's top tier show!" Meanwhile, others compared it favourably to other shows or shared their keen approval: "Kin was great so was This City is Ours and just finished Dept Q, which was fab." Another said: "Watched it on Irish TV over the last couple of years it's a decent watch but very much like Love/Hate." A fan commented: "I've seen it before, absolutely brilliant." Adding to its accolades, Kin has snagged nine awards and snagged 14 nominations, crowning its success with the Best Television Drama prize at the 2024 IFTA Awards. IMDb reviews are buzzing with opinions on the show, with one viewer commenting: "I won't give it away. Watch the entire series even though you get impatient or bored. The ending is worth it. I wonder if there will be another season." Another chimed in with their take: "I personally thought the second season was better than the first. "The character of Bren brought this series to life and made it much more gritty. I wasn't keen on the relationship with Michael and his estranged daughter in either season." However, others were more critical, with one writing: "The acting and dialogue just wasn't working and was slow and repetitive. Ciaran Hinds in the first season was also good and the camera screen just loves his presence. "Obviously can't go into details with the storylines because it will spoil this but I thought the character of Eric also did a great Job in both seasons. Overall I preferred the second season of this series." A different user recommended the show: "It's a great show definitely worth a watch. First Irish series I've watched and definitely better than some of the other trash on the TV. I hope they make a second season and build upon it." And finally, a user delved into the plot: "Kin as in Kinsella a fictional Dublin crime family embroiled in a crime war . Murder, death and drugs seem to be everyday activities for this Irish clan. "A well acted crime drama with devastating violence . I read somewhere it was not based in truth but fiction. But I did read in Irish Times the big Dublin crime family is the Kinahan gang."

Netflix fans are binging a new true crime documentary that's 'truly horrifying'
For those endlessly scrolling through Netflix in search of something gripping to watch, a streaming guru might have the perfect suggestion. EccyReviews has scoped out the 'best' chilling true crime documentary on the platform that aims to both educate and give you the shivers, reports The Mirror. EccyReviews revealed on TikTok: "Netflix have just dropped a brand new true crime documentary and one of the most disturbing murder cases in British history. You need to check it out tonight." Just released this month, the documentary, titled Fred and Rose West: A British Horror Story, delves into the nightmarish deeds of the Wests from their unassuming home in Gloucester during the '80s and '90s. The spine-chilling synopsis reads: "In 1994 in Gloucester, England, police visited 25 Cromwell Street, acting on a tip from social services regarding a horrifying rumour they were told by the children of the couple who lived there, Fred and Rose West. "If they misbehaved, the children said, they'd end up under the patio like their sister, Heather, who had not been seen since 1986. "The police's horrific discoveries didn't end with Heather. They unearthed the remains of nine bodies buried throughout the property's garden and cellar. "Thus began the unravelling of one of the most brutal series of murders to shake modern Britain. "Fred and Rose West: A British Horror Story tells how a couple who were, to those who observed them, in a loving, committed relationship could be capable of such gruesome crimes." The documentary has been stirring up quite the reaction with its harrowing portrayal of a seemingly loving couple's descent into committing some of the most gruesome crimes known to Britain. The three-part series, which utilises over 50 hours of previously unseen and unheard police interview tapes from 107 interrogations, promises to cast new light on the murders of at least 12 women by Fred and Rose West. Delving into the twisted personalities and lifestyle of Fred and Rose West, the docuseries also explores their current whereabouts and activities. TikTok users have been eagerly anticipating the release, with one commenting: "Been waiting for this! ! ! Fred and Rose West were crazy! Horrifying story definitely watching it tonight." Another shared their chilling experience after binge-watching: "Just seen all three episodes just now, it's chilling and frightening." Meanwhile, a third remarked on the difficulty of digesting the content: "I've watched it and read the book years ago, hard to get through." Another recalled the horror of the events as they unfolded: "Remember all this happening it was awful what they both did." However, not all reviews are glowing; an IMDb critique points out the series' shortcomings: "While the series may serve as an introduction for those unfamiliar with the case, it misses the opportunity to provide a deeper, more insightful examination of the Wests' crimes and their lasting impact." The reviewer lamented the focus on sensationalism, suggesting that a chance was missed to delve into the complexities and offer a more profound narrative: "By focusing primarily on the sensational aspects, the documentary overlooks the complexities and nuances that could have offered a more meaningful narrative. "In conclusion, Fred and Rose West: A British Horror Story presents a chilling tale but ultimately lacks the depth and detail necessary to fully comprehend the horror and implications of the Wests' actions."
