Netflix viewers have been left deeply moved by a “close to perfect” thriller that hasn’t gained the widespread recognition it deserves.While the festive period is usually synonymous with indulgent meals and cozy celebrations, it also offers a golden opportunity to discover a hidden gem on streaming platforms.
Whether you’re revisiting old classics or looking for something brand new, the thrill of finding a series to binge-watch remains unmatched.
This year, one such gem that caught many off-guard is Maestro in Blue. Fans are already calling it a must-watch, making it the center of attention among Netflix’s holiday releases.
But what exactly makes Maestro in Blue stand out from the crowd?The gripping drama revolves around Orestis, a troubled musician portrayed by Christoforos Papakaliatis.
He is determined to bring back a once-beloved music festival to the idyllic Greek island of Paxos, where the series is beautifully set.
However, Orestis’ plans take a dark and dramatic turn. Reviving the music festival becomes the least of his worries when he and his partner Klelia, played by Klelia Andriolatou, are dragged into a shocking and brutal murder.While the third season hasn’t garnered enough reviews to earn a Rotten Tomatoes score just yet, early feedback from critics has been overwhelmingly positive.
Moreover, the show’s first season boasts an impressive 91% audience score, proving its appeal among viewers.
“The chemistry between the leads and the spectacular Mediterranean scenery will keep your eyes on Maestro In Blue, even if there are a few storytelling inconsistencies,” Joe Keller from Decider remarked in his review of the series.Reflecting on the second season, Keller added: “Maestro In Blue has now become a full-blown soap… It’s got a lot of juicy drama, but we’re not sure if it can sustain being so scattered in scope.”
Meanwhile, Archi Sengupta of LeisureByte.com praised the third season, saying: “Maestro in Blue season 3 is fantastic because of its believable performances, haunting score and a stunning Paxos that never fails to impress.”
