This New Spy Thriller Series Took Over Netflix and Hit #3 Overnight

A new series has officially captured the attention of Netflix viewers and it’s already making waves. Just days after its release, the show has landed in Netflix’s Top 10 list. Like many recent hits (with the exception of fan-favorites Nobody Wants This and WWE Raw, which currently hold the number one and two spots, respectively), this one’s a gritty crime thriller. Its name? The Asset.

The Asset is a six-episode Danish series starring Clara Dessau, Maria Cordsen, Nicolas Bro and Afshin Firouzi. It premiered on the streaming platform on October 27 and wasted no time climbing the charts. Just one day after its debut, it claimed the number three spot on Netflix’s Top TV Shows in the U.S. and it’s still holding strong there.

So what’s the series about?

One critic called it “very binge-worthy,” while another praised it as “an enjoyable watch that focuses a bit more on emotions than the thrill.”

A third fan on X described the series as “a really solid piece of television,” adding that it’s “sharply written and shot” and “really well acted.”

With such positive early buzz, it seems The Asset may be holding its Top 10 spot for quite some time.

The Asset is now streaming on Netflix.
