One Of The Best Crime Thriller Series Of All Time Has Returned To Netflix & It's A Must-Watch

Five years later, audiences can finally watch a new season of one of Netflix's best crime thriller series, one that stands among the very best of the genre, not only on the streamer, as new episodes are now out. Netflix's best shows are often thrillers, making the best use of the streamer's popular binge release model, crafting non-stop thrill rides that viewers feel the need to finish in one sitting. Among Netflix's best thriller series, subscribers can find shows of completely different formats and subgenres. A political thriller like The Diplomat makes for an enticing watch, as does a psychological thriller like Penn Badgley's You. That said, Netflix's crime thriller series, particularly those with a moody atmosphere, a sinister case, and layered investigators, will rise to the top most of the time. The streaming service has done a great job with that genre, with a perfect example coming from Netflix's list of Harlan Coben adaptations. Recently, Jo Nesbø's Detective Hole became a global smash hit on Netflix. Those projects have in common the fact that they are based on books and deliver dark narratives with flawed players. A returning Netflix series tackles that same concept. The Chestnut Man: Hide and Seek is now out on Netflix. The show originally premiered on the streaming service as The Chestnut Man on September 29, 2021. It has since gained a new title for its second season, which is based on the sequel book, Hide and Seek, written by Søren Sveistrup. The Chestnut Man Is An All-Around Perfect Crime Thriller Series Naia Thulin touching Mark Hess' face in The Chestnut Man: Hide and SeekImage courtesy of Tine Harden/Netflix The Chestnut Man is a rare, perfect crime thriller series. Given the genre's growing popularity with the rise of streaming services, the market has become oversaturated with crime thrillers, and not all of them are as strong all-around as The Chestnut Man. For instance, the first season of the Netflix series holds a stunning 100% score from critics, with a high audience score, which stands at 83%. The Danish series is universally beloved. It truly has it all. As with hit Nordic crime shows, the gloomy atmosphere is absolutely necessary to set the tone, as it quickly transports most viewers to a completely different reality. The Chestnut Man season 1 focused on a serial killer who left behind figurines made of chestnuts in every crime scene, creating a creepy and brutal mystery for the investigators to tackle. By the end of the season, the mysteries both make sense, and the twists are genuinely surprising. Additionally, the differences between the analytic Naia Thulin and the hot-headed Mark Hess add flair to the investigation. Why The Chestnut Man: Hide And Seek Is Worth Watching On Netflix The Chestnut Man: Hide and Seek released all six of its episodes on Netflix on Thursday, May 7. The new season is both worth watching for those who are caught up with the show and new viewers alike. While Hide and Seek brings back Thulin, Hess, and a couple of other characters, the Netflix crime thriller series focuses on an entirely new mystery, with a stalker hunting their victims and using a sinister nursery rhyme to scare them before going in for the kill. There might not be any chestnut men in sight, but the mystery is just as haunting. Related The Chestnut Man: Hide and Seek Review - One Of Netflix's Best Crime Thriller Series Returns In Top Form The Chestnut Man: Hide and Seek is the perfect sequel to one of Netflix's most enticing crime thrillers, deepening the bond between Hess and Thulin. The Netflix series also takes into account that five years have passed between both seasons of The Chestnut Man. As such, even those who watched season 1 will start the new season without fully understanding what has been going on in Hess and Thulin's lives, though by the end of Hide and Seek, all will be explained satisfactorily. The returning series is, just like season 1, perfect for a binge, with enough engaging hooks in each episode to keep viewers glued to their screens. The Chestnut Man: Hide and Seek might just be one of Netflix's best releases.
