From Emily in Paris to Squid Game, Netflix is home to shows guaranteed to get everyone talking – and we’ve got a new show thriller fans are already absolutely loving.
The Frog, which was released earlier this month, is a K-drama that follows a ghostly woman who arrives as a guest in a remote countryside pension.
After the woman’s arrival, cracks begin to appear in the peace and tranquillity of everyday life as the supernatural world begins to take over the house.
Featuring the likes of Kim Yun-seok and Yoon Kye-sang, The Frog was created by Mo Wan-il and Son Ho-young.
The eight-part series explores characters who have their futures altered in a heartbeat – and fans are obsessed.

Sharing views on social media platform X, this user said: ‘If you love thriller and just plain crazy villain, go watch the frog on Netflix. Acting directing editing and plot all are superbs.’
In agreement, another fan wrote: ‘The Frog on Netflix is a great watch. Binged the whole thing this weekend and if you like your thrillers dark, funny and Korean then you can’t really go wrong with this one. One to pay attention to though, no scrolling whilst you see what crazy shit happens next’, while another audience member gave a simple review: ‘Intense yet very, very subtle.’

Just one line for âThe frogâ on Netflix – intense yet very, very subtle.

Crisp storytelling, brilliant direction and performances and the aesthetic cinematography is a cherry on top.

Saw Netflixâs The Frog

Pretty good. Very slow burn, tends to drag the plot sometimes, but the fragmented narrative helps keep the story intriguing. Go Min-si performance as the antagonist is great.

Elsewhere, Netflix series Dead Boy Detectives, based on Neil Gaiman’s comic book series, has got the chop just weeks after the author denied sexual abuse claims.
The one-season show, which also forms part of The Sandman universe, originally came out in April and was adapted by Steve Yockey who worked closely with the source material and, at points, with Gaiman himself to bring the comedy-drama to life.
The eight-episode series follows the unconventional ghostly duo Edwin Payne (George Rexstrew) and Charles Rowland (Jayden Revri) who set up a crime-solving agency from the afterlife to solve supernatural cases.
The show did not reach the same heights as The Sandman (which will return for a second season) and after reaching number three in Nielsen’s US top 10 with 633 million minutes of viewing, its popularity quickly petered out.
The show did better with reception reaching 92% on Rotten Tomatoes and garnering huge fan praise.
