Netflix has just added a new show to its ever-growing collection, and viewers are already buzzing with excitement. The popular streaming platform has made all three seasons of a thrilling series set on the French Riviera available for binge-watching. Fans can't seem to get enough of this "slick and glamorous" show, which first premiered in 2017.
Created by Neil Jordan, the Irish-British series, Riviera, has gained a devoted following since its debut. Jordan, known for directing films such as The Crying Game and Interview with a Vampire, brings his unique vision to the small screen with this captivating show. Set in the French Riviera, the series follows American art curator Georgina Clios, played by Julia Stiles, as she navigates a world of "lies, double-dealing, and crime" while trying to uncover the truth about her husband's death in a yacht accident.
The first season of Riviera was a huge success, with each episode attracting 2.3 million viewers. It quickly became Sky's most popular original series at the time. The show's popularity only grew with the release of its second season in 2021, followed by its third and final season in 2020. Upon its initial premiere, The Guardian called it "unmissable," and the series has continued to receive high praise from critics and fans alike.
The Irish Independent described Riviera as "slick, glamorous, fast-paced, precision-tooled entertainment" and praised its ability to keep viewers on the edge of their seats. Metro's review of the first episode also noted its promising start as a "deceivingly brisk thriller." While the show did receive some mixed reviews, many fans couldn't get enough of its "twists and turns" and deemed it a worthy binge-watch.
With its recent addition to Netflix, all three seasons of Riviera are now available for viewers to enjoy. The series has already climbed its way into the Top 10 most viewed shows on the streaming platform. During its run, Riviera also featured a talented cast, including Poppy Delevingne, Jack Fox, Iwan Rheon, Will Arnett, and Rupert Graves.
In an interview with Forbes, Stiles, who plays the lead role of Georgina, shared her thoughts on why the show has resonated with audiences. "I think that she's the window into that world; that's why people relate to my character, Georgina, and got into the show in the first place," she said. "Because she doesn't come from wealth or a particularly upper-class family, quite the opposite." Stiles also spoke about the show's exploration of the contrast between luxury and the underlying darkness and destruction it can bring.
Riviera is now available for streaming on Netflix, and fans can't wait to dive into all three seasons. With its captivating plot, talented cast, and stunning setting, this series is a must-watch for anyone looking for a thrilling and glamorous escape. So grab your popcorn and get ready to be swept away by the world of Riviera.
