If you’re looking for something to watch on Netflix this week, the streamer’s new Swedish crime thriller show “The Breakthrough” looks like a potential pick. Directed by Lisa Siwe, this show was released on the streaming service globally on January 7 and has already managed to crack the top 10 in the U.S. As of today (Jan. 9,) it’s currently sitting in the No.6 spot, above hit shows like “Virgin River” and “Younger.”
I’m impressed that “The Breakthrough” has broken into the top 10, especially considering the lack of an official trailer online and what seemed like minimal marketing. However, its success makes sense with it being a four-episode true crime series, and it’s perfect for a quick binge. The story centers on a detective and a genealogist working together to solve an unsolved double homicide.
