Viewers are terrified of Line of Duty star Adrian Dunbar's role in a ‘riveting’ low profile thriller you've probably never heard of.
With a perfect Rotten Tomatoes score, the series sees Dunbar star alongside the likes of Carolina Main, Diarmuid Noyes, Ingrid Craigie and Grainne Keenan.
The TV show, set in a small Irish town, follows Cat Hogan (Main) - who is an isolated woman struggling to deal with the 'accidental' death of her mother Mary.

Her death unexpectedly draws Cat back in with the family she has spent the last decade trying to avoid.
Although Mary's passing seems 'accidental', Cat thinks her father Jim (Adrian Dunbar) may have been involved.
Titled Blood, you can take a look at the trailer below:
The 12-episode show was split up into two series and aired on Channel 5 from 2018 to 2020.
However, viewers have recently been catching up on the show on My5 and people are stunned by Dunbar's performance.
"Watching S1 of Blood with Adrian Dunbar omg it’s riveting," one user wrote.
"There's more than 1 Irish-based drama to binge on during lockdown. It's not as high profile as Normal People but Blood with Adrian Dunbar is well worth a look. Both seasons available @My5_tv now," a second added.
"Adrian Dunbar truly terrifying, think he may try to kill Cat," penned a third.
"Just watched the finale of Blood, Adrian Dunbar is one class act! Amazing actor," a fourth said.
With an 100 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes, critics also thought the series was top notch too.
Producer and creator Sophie Petzal took home most of the praise as one critic wrote: "Once again Petzal proved herself undeniably adept at weaving together a complex knot of murder, family dysfunction, domestic violence, drug-dealing, lesbian love, shattered futures and more."
"Petzal's trick with Blood is to make it superficially resemble a sober, carefully-observed family drama, when in fact under the surface there's a boiling maelstrom of rage, violence, fear and guilt," another added.
"The story flicks back and forth in time, sometimes giving the impression that we're trying to complete a double-sided jigsaw in our heads. But every piece fits, and each flip of the picture reveals something new," a third said.
"The new series is a handsome and hook-rich thriller that seems carefully engineered to deliver a decent supply of twists, shocks and cliffhangers. But it bears only a passing resemblance to the original," someone else concluded.
