Netflix fans are ‘hooked’ on a brand-new drama and say it’s the ‘best series’ they’ve seen all year.
The streaming platform is renowned for keeping its content fresh and captivating viewers.
One of its latest TV shows has particularly intrigued people, with one fan saying: “Even just 10 seconds in I loved this series.”
Another adds: “This Netflix crime drama is a must-see. Perfection!”
“The best series I’ve watched this year,” says a third.
Somebody else enthuses: “I’m hooked!”
Critics have also expressed their enthusiasm for the show, with Alistair McKay penning for the Evening Standard: “It feels, at times, like early Tarantino, with dodgy coppers and incompetent criminals.”
“It is a clever little piece of programming,” said The Times‘ Camilla Long.
Brian Donaldson wrote for The List: “The show’s secret is unveiled at the end of a fine opening episode in which three seemingly disparate stories merge and flow forward in one direction.”
The Sky series has also received a Rotten Tomatoes score of 75% and 7.5/10 on IMDb.
The drama is based on a 2017 Norwegian show called Valkyrien, which combined medical and crime drama, in addition to flattering comparisons to AMC’s Breaking Bad.
Created by Mark O’Rowe, known for the film Boy A, this crime drama stars Mark Strong as a surgeon, alongside Daniel Mays and Carice van Houten.
It follows a surgeon who sets up an illegal clinic in an attempt to save his dying wife, Beth, who has developed a fatal degenerative disease.
But to do this, he funds his underground clinic by treating criminals and other desperate patients who are unable to seek treatment from regular hospitals and doctors.
There are currently two seasons of Temple available to enjoy. It hasn’t been renewed for a third season yet, however, the last episode was purposely left open-ended.
In an interview with Collider, Strong said the cliffhanger was intentional as ‘we want people to want to know what happens in season three.’
The actor shared: “We’ve written a couple of episodes and have a treatment ready for the third season, should we be lucky enough to get to make it, so we were very conscious that we wanted to have a big cliffhanger, which we do.
“What we choose to do leaves the opportunity for where we go next completely open. It shows you that Daniel hasn’t learned anything because, once again, he’s lying to people again and leaving people with emotional trauma to save his own skin.”
