A new Netflix original series entered the chat last week, and the viewers are calling it creepy. This German thriller has people stressed and talking. The show to beat on the streamer today is Liebes Kind (Dear Child). It is currently the #1 thriller, and it seemingly deserves that spot. Here is what we know about this international sensation.
In Dear Child:
“Lena lives in complete isolation in a highly secure home with the two children Hannah and Jonathan. They eat their meals, go to the toilet, and to bed at precisely prescribed times. As soon as he enters the room, they line up to show their hands. They do everything he says. Until the young woman manages to escape. After a near-fatal car accident, she is hospitalized, accompanied by Hannah.
Dear Child starts where traditional thrillers end: with redemption. But the true extent of this nightmare is revealed with the arrival of Lena’s parents at the hospital the same night. They have been desperately searching for their missing daughter for almost 13 years…”
