Netflix Fans Crown ‘Most Underrated Series Ever’ — 98% Rotten Tomatoes Score Leaves Viewers Stunned 😱🔥

Netflix viewers have spoken, and the results are in: the 2019 true-crime drama Unbelievable has officially been crowned the “most underrated series ever” — and fans are calling it “depressing yet amazing.”

With over 6,000 shows and films on the UK version of Netflix alone, fans have long debated which hidden gems deserve more attention. A Reddit thread asking, “What is the most underrated show you’ve discovered on Netflix?” quickly became a hub for recommendations, with Unbelievable emerging as the standout pick.

The eight-part series, based on a true story, follows teenager Marie Adler (Kaitlyn Dever), who reports being sexually assaulted, only to be disbelieved and accused of lying. Her struggle highlights the devastating flaws in the justice system for survivors of sexual assault.

As the investigation stalls, two seasoned detectives, Grace Rasmussen (Toni Collette) and Karen Duvall (Merritt Wever), pick up a separate case that eventually connects to Marie’s story. Through meticulous detective work, the detectives uncover a pattern of assaults and a serial perpetrator, leading to a tense and emotional pursuit of justice.

Fans on Reddit flooded the thread with praise:

• “Love this show. Great characters.”
• “Absolutely incredible show with incredible acting. I’ve watched it multiple times, even though it’s a tough watch.”
• “Depressing and amazing at the same time.”

The series doesn’t shy away from the heavy realities of trauma, systemic failure, and perseverance. It earned critical acclaim, boasting a staggering 98% Rotten Tomatoes score and multiple Emmy and Golden Globe nominations, alongside wins for a Peabody and Critics’ Choice Award — proving its acclaim is well-deserved.

Kaitlyn Dever reflected on her challenging role in an interview with Entertainment Weekly:

“It was the hardest thing I’ve had to do. Every scene, she’s just a girl who kept getting punched in the face, even after her assault. I’m proud we’re bringing these important stories to light, giving a voice to the voiceless.”

Unbelievable also stars Eric Lange, Bill Fagerbakke, Elizabeth Marvel, Bridget Everett, Danielle Macdonald, and Dale Dickey, rounding out a cast that brings depth and nuance to this emotional crime drama.

If you haven’t seen it yet, Unbelievable is streaming now on Netflix — and fans agree, it’s a must-watch hidden gem that shouldn’t be missed.
