Netflix fans have been gripped by a ‘captivating’ a drama The Hooligan – which is ‘full of twists and turns’.

The Polish series follows the life of 17-year-old Kuba – and how he tries to navigate the world that his father has introduced him to.

But will he be able to ignore what he’s been taught?

The Hooligan hit the streaming service earlier this month – and it is currently in the Top 10 most-watched TV shows.

The synopsis of the show reads: ‘Desperate to help her, they hatch a risky plan to operate behind the group’s back, plunging them both deeper into a dangerous world with no easy way out.’

Those who have watched the series have given rave reviews.

One wrote on IMBD: ‘This is a very well shot, well thought out and well planned series. I haven’t seen many Polish movies or shows so I was pleasantly surprised, especially for five episodes to be so well done.’

Another added: ‘Some series are simply watched, while others are experienced. This one belongs to the latter category.

‘From the very first episode, you are captivated not only by the incredible cinematography, but also by the gripping story that keeps you in suspense until the very last minute.

‘The creators have taken care of every detail – from the perfectly chosen colour palette to the dynamic, emotional shots that make the viewer literally immerse themselves in the world presented.’

A third chimed in: ‘Great genre cinema showing the realities of football hooligans in Central and Eastern Europe. There is no soft play here.’

A fourth chimed in: ‘A story that captures your attention and involves you. A fanaticism that is difficult to understand for those who are not part of this world but is worth watching…even for those who do not like football or are not fans.’

Meanwhile others took to the programme’s trailer posted on YouTube to share their thoughts.

One said in the comments section: ‘Good series but ending is not what was expected.’

The series has been given rave reviews after hitting the streaming service last month
