She has not left her house in ten years — now she is inviting the man she believes killed her sister inside. That chilling setup has pushed this brand-new thriller straight into Netflix's US Top 10 within two days of release.

The Trap is a six-part German psychological thriller starring Friederike Becht as author Lisa Konrad, alongside Hans Löw and Matthias Brandt. Lisa has stayed inside since her sister's murder; when she believes she spots the killer on TV, she devises a risky plan and makes herself the bait.

It is trending because word of mouth is spreading fast: the series comes from the creative team behind Dear Child, it landed on October 13, and it has already climbed to #8 on the US TV chart. If you like tense, twisty stories, you may also enjoy The Beast in Me and The Whisper Man, or catch up with our latest pick, TYSON.
