Netflix’s Hit New Thriller Series That’s No. 1 In The World Thrives With Critics On Rotten Tomatoes

by

The new Danish crime thriller, which premiered on Netflix on October 27th, is getting positive reviews on Rotten Tomatoes and quickly climbed into the platform’s top 10. The show centers around Tea, an agent played by Clara Dessau, who goes undercover within a criminal group and unexpectedly develops a connection with the drug lord’s girlfriend.

After its debut, The Asset has become the most-watched show on Netflix globally, surpassing popular series like Nobody Wants This, Boots, Physical: Asia, The Monster of Florence, and Selling Sunset. The show’s success is also being met with positive reviews from critics.

As of today, critics have given the series The Asset an 80% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, based on just five reviews. This score will probably change as more reviews are published, but it’s a promising beginning for a show that looks set to be popular with Netflix viewers.

Even though “The Asset” is popular enough to be one of the top 10 shows on Netflix globally, there aren’t enough viewer ratings yet to calculate a Popcornmeter score. However, the few reviews available—all positive—suggest it’s likely to receive a high audience score soon.

It’s not too surprising that The Asset is in Netflix’s top 10 so soon after its release. However, reaching number one suggests it might stay on the list for several weeks. This is a good sign for fans hoping for a second season, though it hasn’t been officially confirmed yet.

Good reviews suggest the series will continue to attract viewers. Critics particularly enjoyed the show’s captivating characters and suspenseful plot, with strong performances from the cast, including Dessau, Maria Cordsen, Nicolas Bro, Afshin Firouzi, and Soheil Bavi.

Some reviewers have noted that The Asset, while a crime thriller, can feel a bit predictable. With popular shows like Black Rabbit, Ozark, and Untamed already available on Netflix, The Asset may not stand out enough from other series in the same genre.

Despite its flaws, a good crime thriller can be very satisfying, and The Asset has the potential to overcome its issues by creating characters that viewers genuinely care about. When people become invested in characters, they’re more likely to keep watching, which could mean we’ll see more of this show in the future.
