If you want a crime drama that treats its mystery as more than a puzzle, Obsession is available in Australia on Netflix, and in the US on Netflix right now. The show says what it needs to say in a single season, no filler. 187 viewers have already rated it on TMDB — the kind of consensus that does not happen by accident. Richard Armitage anchors it, but the writing does the real work. Start it on Netflix whenever you need something guaranteed to land.

Obsession arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. At its heart, Obsession understands what makes crime drama work — character first, plot second. A respected London surgeon's affair with his son's fiancée turns into an erotic infatuation that threatens to change their lives forever. The writing gets a boost from Richard Armitage and Charlie Murphy, who sell every scene they're in. Obsession premiered in 2023. Obsession is at its best in the quiet scenes between the plot beats, where the character work actually happens. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

If you cannot walk away from a good mystery, Obsession will keep you hooked. Viewers who responded to 56 Days will find a lot to like here too. The complete run is available and best experienced without too much prior knowledge of where it goes. Richard Armitage carries scenes that would sink a lesser production. The resolution feels inevitable rather than arbitrary, which is rarer than it sounds.

Obsession wrapped up in 2023 — and 1 season is available to watch from start to finish.
