If you haven’t heard about this movie, then you are missing out on a major heartbreak. Yes, a heartbreaking thrill whose story you’ll applaud for days to come.
The narrative is taken from the novel written by Iain Reid, and man, did he pull off an amazing story. The one bad thing about thrillers is that they are sometimes confusing, which is exactly what you might feel during this one.
But when the knot of this movie untangles, you’ll feel both sad and surprised at human nature. And how vulnerable we are with our emotions.

Wait, we have a crime thriller too! We knew you’d be waiting for this one!
Marcella is a TV series that expands to three seasons. The show hosts a detective who solves crimes on the go. Pretty much the basic deal, right? No. The crime scenes in the middle are entangled in an entangled story that creates its own twists for the detective.
It makes this a must-watch for all the thrill-seekers. Also, you can dedicate the whole weekend to this serial as it has 24 major episodes. As a bonus, you might encounter little clues along with the episodes as the mystery unfolds itself near the end.
