‘Dear Child’ takes off on Netflix and even overtakes ‘One Piece’

Things are pretty dark in the psychological thriller miniseries ‘Liebes Kind’ on Netflix – and it’s being quite well received: the series, which was released in early September, quickly stormed the Netflix charts and was viewed 25 million times, like Spiegel , among other .de reports.

Of the originally non-English series, this one reached first place for the second time in a row. It is striking that the series is also internationally popular. The English version titled “Dear Child” is among the top 10 most popular series in more than 90 countries around the world.

Last week alone, the miniseries was viewed 15.4 million times – more than five million more than the live manga adaptation of “One Piece.” However, this has been available for a week longer.

The series is about a woman named Lena and two children, Hannah and Jonathan, who were in the clutches of a kidnapper for a long time. Little by little, the dark story, which is connected to other unsolved missing persons cases from the past, unravels. The miniseries is based on the bestseller of the same name by Romy Hausmann, who was inspired, among other things, by the Natascha Kampusch case. (in return for)
