Netflix’s new far-fetched murder mystery thriller rips the heart right out of the Top 10 in 58 nations

Netflix strikes gold again with one of its most popular genres.

Death, taxes, and Netflix mystery thrillers proving massively popular right out of the gate are three ironclad facts of life, with The Marked Heart ensuring that it wasted no time at all in becoming one of the streaming service’s most popular episodic titles, carrying on a trend for the platform you’d be more than happy to stake your life on.

Per FlixPatrol, the increasingly ludicrous and far-fetched dive into a bizarre set of circumstances and the aftershocks left behind has barreled straight onto the Top 10 in an impressive 58 countries around the world, landing it at number four on the global rankings behind only the unstoppable The Night Agent, the widely-acclaimed Beef, and trashy tale of titillation Obsession.

The story finds a man discovering that his wife faked her own death in order to get away from him, which obviously forces him to concoct a preposterous plan for revenge to get her back, while also exacting retribution on the new man she left him for in a desire to finally achieve happiness.

The caveat is that her new beau’s ex-wife was murdered to attain possession of her heart, which has now been placed into the chest cavity of his fresh flame. Don’t say we didn’t warn you that The Marked Heart was ridiculous, and things carry on in that vein with a sinister organized trafficking gang and high-flying political figures also getting drawn into the web of lies, deceit, and nonsense.

Car crash TV is so popular and easily bingeable for a reason, with The Marked Heart staking a strong claim for the silliest show of the year, which is really saying something.
