Netflix Fans Obsess Over New Crime Drama with Perfect Rotten Tomatoes Score
The new binge-worthy British drama Temple on Netflix is captivating audiences, but some fans are finding it hard to tear themselves away from the screen. This gripping series, based on a Norwegian thriller and with a perfect 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes, follows the story of Daniel Milton, a surgeon played by the talented Mark Strong. Desperate to save his dying wife, Beth, suffering from a terminal disease, Milton sets up a secret clinic beneath Temple tube station, treating those who can’t access traditional medical care, including criminals, in order to fund his mission.
Fans have been quick to share their excitement on social media, with one viewer saying, “Just started to watch #Temple. Really, really cool. I am hooked already.” But others are finding it hard to get a good night’s rest after watching, with one confessing, “‘Temple on Netflix. OMG, I’m hooked. I always do this to myself before bedtime.”
Critics have drawn comparisons between Temple and early Quentin Tarantino works, praising Mark Strong’s performance in holding the show together. If you’ve devoured the two seasons of Temple and are hungry for more, check out its Norwegian inspiration on Amazon Prime, which also boasts a stellar 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes’ Popcornmeter, based on audience approval.
This show initially premiered on Sky in 2019 but has found a new wave of fans on its Netflix platform. Following the trend of shows like Sky’s Brassic, Channel 5’s The Cuckoo, and RTE’s Clean Sweep, Temple is finding fresh success with a wider audience on Netflix.
In other Netflix news, fans of The Society are eagerly awaiting news of a possible revival after its unexpected cancellation. Despite a strong first season in May 2019, COVID-19 led to Netflix canceling plans for a second season, disappointing many loyal viewers. The Society, along with I Am Not Okay With This, was axed by Netflix due to pandemic-related challenges, preventing the highly anticipated second season from going into production.
