The German series Liebes Kind is surprisingly at number 1 in the charts on Netflix. The crime thriller adaptation based on Romy Hausmann outperformed strong competition such as One Piece, at least in this country.
The six-part miniseries is about Lena (Kim Riedle). She manages to escape after being held captive by a psychopath for a long time. She lived under a reign of terror in a windowless house with her two children Jonathan (Sammy Schrein) and Hannah (Naila Schuberth). Dear Child is celebrated by crime fans as the “craziest series on Netflix”. Series creator Isabel Kleefeld has an even harder thriller tip in store, which you can also stream on Netflix.
Which film does the Lieber Kind creator recommend?
“There’s just this opening sequence where a family is walking home. Adorable kids, everyone’s in a good mood. And you think, Oh God, what’s about to happen?” – this is how Kleefeld raves about one of her favorite thrillers during Netflix Week.
Universal
Prisoners
Praise goes to Dune director Denis Villeneuve’s Prisoners. The kidnapping thriller was released in 2013 and shocked with an uncompromising story. The similarities to Dear Child are definitely there. However, the Netflix series is mostly told from the perspective of the kidnapping victims. Prisoners takes the perspective of those people who are desperately searching for their loved ones.
What is Prisoners about and what is so special about the thriller?
The kidnapping his daughter and her best friend drives a father (Hugh Jackman) and an investigator (Jake Gyllenhaal) almost crazy. The father is afraid for the lives of the two girls and captures the man (Paul Dano) he believes to be the perpetrator.

Prisoners is more exciting than Dear Child because the film reveals almost nothing. The audience is just as clueless as the main characters. The only thing that is certain is that two children have disappeared and are with them Every minute her death becomes more likely. The main character, Keller, would do anything to save her. At first his morals are intact, but he changes into a brutal monsterto complete his mission.
Prisoners is epically long with a running time of almost two and a half hours, but always maintains its tension. You can stream the thriller on Netflix at any time – just like the six episodes of Dear Child.
