Another fan posted: "Polish drama and low budget is compensated by rawness and extraordinary performances."

The synopsis continues: "What starts as a thrill from fighting with rival football club fans quickly spirals out of control when his new girlfriend falls into financial trouble.

Season two introduces rising political figure Isaac Turner (Paapa Essiedu), whose career is threatened by a deepfake video that sends shockwaves through the government.

Fans have also been loving the return of The Night Agent after a two-year wait. The synopsis reads: "The Night Agent is a sophisticated, character-based, action-thriller centering on a low level FBI Agent who works in the basement of the White House, manning a phone that never rings -- until the night that it does, propelling him into a fast moving and dangerous conspiracy that ultimately leads all the way to the Oval Office."
