Netflix’s Dark New Crime Thriller With A Squid Game Star Is Dominating Worldwide

by

Netflix’s latest crime thriller is quickly becoming a global sensation, making it a great choice for a weekend binge-watch. The streaming service has become known for its exciting crime dramas, both in films and TV series, and this new show is the latest in a string of recent hits.

By 2025, shows like Black Rabbit, The Beast in Me, and Dept. Q had captivated audiences with their thrilling murder mysteries and investigations. Netflix already offers plenty of addictive series for a weekend binge, and one show, still relatively unknown in the US, could be the perfect discovery.

Netflix’s new Korean crime thriller, The Price of Confession, is a hit around the world, according to data from FlixPatrol. Currently, it’s the 6th most popular show on Netflix globally. The 12-episode series, which began streaming on December 5th, centers on Ahn Yoon-soo, who becomes the prime suspect after her husband dies.

Okay, so I just watched this thriller, and it’s a real nail-biter. It centers around Yoon-soo, a woman facing life in prison who gets a shocking offer from a fellow inmate – a woman known as the witch. Basically, this witch will take the blame for Yoon-soo’s crime, potentially getting her off the hook, but there’s a catch: Yoon-soo has to commit murder for her. And get this – Park Hae-soo, who you probably recognize as Sang-woo from Squid Game, is playing the prosecutor, Baek Dong-hun. He’s fantastic, and really drives the tension. It’s a dark and twisted premise, and I’m hooked!

Netflix’s latest crime thriller, The Price of Confession, has become a global sensation since its release last week. It’s currently the number one show in countries like South Korea, Singapore, and Indonesia, and appears in the top ten lists in 55 countries worldwide, including Brazil, France, and Japan.

Surprisingly, The Price of Confession isn’t currently among the top ten most-watched shows on Netflix in the United States. Instead, the top three spots are held by other recent Netflix releases. Sean Combs: The Reckoning is currently number one, followed by season five of Stranger Things – which is getting the attention expected for its final season.

Rounding out the top three in the U.S. is The Abandons, a new western series on Netflix. It features Lena Headey, known from Game of Thrones, Gillian Anderson of The X-Files, and a talented cast. While it’s unclear if The Price of Confession will become popular on U.S. streaming platforms, it continues to be a global hit on Netflix.
