A new crime thriller has just made its way onto Netflix, and I predict it won’t be long until it hits the top ten list on the platform.

Sara - Woman in the Shadows is a new Italian crime drama starring Claudia Gerini (John Wick: Chapter 2), which centers around a former intelligence agent forced to return to her dangerous past life after her son dies under mysterious circumstances. In her former career, Sara was known as "the invisible woman" due to her sharp skillset and lip-reading abilities, and she’s once again forced to put those skills to use to uncover the truth about what happened to her son.

Based on Maurizio de Giovanni’s popular crime novel series "Le indagini di Sara," the show is directed by Carmine Elia and spans six intense episodes packed with drama and spans six intense-looking episodes that promise plenty of drama and surprising revelations along the way (including Sara having to face some uncomfortable truths about the double life her son was living).

Flavio Furno and Chiara Celotto also have starring roles as a police officer and a photographer who is pregnant with Sara’s son, respectively, both of whom are working to achieve justice.

If you're looking for something to add to your streaming list this week, Sara - Woman in the Shadows has binge-watch potential. It's certainly at the top of my list.

All six episodes of Sara – Woman in the Shadows are available to stream on Netflix.
