Netflix has just added a new crime thriller show with 92% on Rotten Tomatoes

If you're seeking a weekend TV binge, this could be the show for you.

Created by Neil Forsyth (The Gold, Guilt), the series is inspired by the true story of British undercover Customs investigators who infiltrated the drug world in the early 1990s.

As Netflix's plot synopsis for the show reads: "Her Majesty’s Customs and Excise was losing its battle with illegal drug smuggling across Britain’s borders.

"The solution was extraordinary. In a top-secret operation, a small team of Customs employees were sent undercover. Their task — to infiltrate Britain’s most dangerous drug gangs.

"But these were not trained spies. They were normal men and women, plucked from ordinary lives around the UK, put through a basic training regime, and tasked with building new identities in the criminal underworld. These identities were called 'legends.'"

The main character in the show is Guy (Tom Burke, Black Bag), a customs agent who works alongside his wife, Sophie (Charlotte Ritchie, Netflix's You).

Legends currently holds an impressive 92% score on Rotten Tomatoes, earning praise for its performances, its pacing, and its spotlighting of an incredible yet little-known true story.

You can read a sample of some of these glowing reviews below:

Collider: "It might be the most watchable crime drama Netflix puts out this year."

Daily Telegraph (UK): "You will never stop marvelling throughout at the fact that it really happened."

Financial Times: "This is outstanding TV, elegant and composed, and it does not let its grip loosen for a second."

The Times (UK): "This is glossy, big-budget drama filled with adrenaline — and a mighty fine early Nineties soundtrack — but it’s not without moments of comic relief, giving it a British feel that will undoubtedly please fans of Forsyth’s previous work on the BBC."

All six episodes of Legends are streaming on Netflix now.
