A Netflix crime drama has rocketed up the charts this week after being dubbed ‘the new Ozark’ by enthralled fans.
The streaming giant dropped all eight episodes of the hit last month and viewers have been binge-watching it ever since.
It’s also led to the show soaring up the charts, with it currently sitting comfortably in Netflix’s top 10 shows, pulling in 11.6million streams to date.
Called The Waterfront, the new dark drama’s cast includes nineties movie star Holt McCallany and Grown Ups star Maria Bello.
Melissa Benoist and Jake Weary also star in the fan-favourite hit.
The series’ backdrop is the picturesque North Carolina coastline and focuses on the Buckley family.

Set in the fictional town of Havenport, the story follows the troublesome clan as their fishing empire crumbles around them.
Despite its current modest 64% Rotten Tomatoes score, viewers have flooded social media with positive reviews.
One posted: ‘I was originally interested because Melissa Benoist is in it, but the rest of the cast got me even more, and honestly it looks like the show could be really fun too!’
A second penned: ‘The Waterfront, a new series is coming! From Kevin Williamson. This is definitely giving me the same vibes as Ozark did!’
‘I enjoyed the show. Reminded me of Ozarks a little bit, certainly not as good, but still thought it was solid,’ said a third fan.
A fourth commented: ‘Absolutely loving Belle Buckley’s style in #TheWaterfront on #Netflix. Polished. Sophisticated. Mature yet still youthful.’
While a fifth remarked: ‘I was originally interested because Melissa Benoist is in it, but the rest of the cast got me even more, and honestly it looks like the show could be really fun too!’

The streaming giant removed the hit show, which has a respectable 88% Rotten Tomatoes score, last year.
However, How To Get Away With Murder has now been made available to stream once again – and even for free.
The smash-hit legal drama originally aired between 2014 and 2020, running for six seasons before its cancellation.
Viola Davis plays the lead role of defence attorney and professor Annalise Keating as the series follows her life.
As the drama unfolds, Annalise becomes caught up in a murder plot that involves five of her students.
In 2015, Davis became the first African American to win an Emmy for best lead actress in a drama series.
How To Get Away With Murder’s six seasons has now officially landed on Channel 4’s streaming site, which doesn’t require a subscription.
