It may be Valentine’s day but the focus for many, single or otherwise, will be looking for something new to binge this weekend.

Whether you just finished Apple Cider Vinegar, have got through Surviving Black Hawk Down already, or have finished the latest Scandi detective drama The Åre Murders, many will be looking for their next show to dive into.

It doesn’t matter whether you’re looking for a show to cuddle up next to your partner and watch, or if you’re spending this weekend celebrating your solitude, when people are comparing any show to crtic favourite Dark, you can look no further

That is exactly what is happening to Netflix’s newest thriller TV series, called Cassandra, and the comparisons to Dark are obvious.

The series is a German-made thriller TV Show which has reactions such as ‘I can’t stop watching it’ and ‘creepy, suspenseful, and brilliant’.

If I’d told you it was Dark you’d likely have believed me, but it’s actually Cassandra.

The series follows a family moving into an old ‘smart home’ decades after its owner dies.

The AI helper that comes with the home wakes up once they’ve moved in and creepiness ensues.

This led to one viewer tweeting: “Netflix should invest more in German shows… we had the masterpiece DARK… then 1899 from the same writers, now Cassandra…”

This love for Cassandra is a commonly held opinion, with some binging all six 50 minute episodes in one sitting.

One viewer said of the show: “Strange, disturbing, and campy af, but every time I go to turn it off, I can't do it. Please tell me someone else has seen this.”

Another said: “Cassandra on Netflix is definitely a 10/10 I’ve been hooked since the beginning #cassandranetflix”.

A third fan said: “that cassandra tv series on netflix was a wild ride.”

The show currently sits at a perfect 100% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Kelcie Mattson said in their 8/10 review for Collider: “Fusing elements of sci-fi, horror, psychological thriller, and women-focused family dramas of decades past, Cassandra is quieter than the company's films but still a sleek, ambitious limited series with plenty of meat on its bones...”

Chris Joyce said in their review of the series: “The excitement and nervousness will have you on the edge of your seat while you constantly look over your shoulder to ensure your smart devices aren’t scheming behind you.”

The show’s success has landed it a spot in the streamer’s top ten.

The series is the top show worldwide currently, and sits at number ten in the UK.

Cassandra is available to stream on Netflix now.
