Updated on 11 May: It’s a situation we all know too well: after spending hours scrolling through Netflix and flicking idly through the titles on offer, you come to the conclusion that you’ve genuinely streamed everything worth streaming.

The thing is, though, nobody has ‘completed’ Netflix; how can they, with so many new films and TV shows dropping every single day of the week?

Then there’s the fact that, due to the streaming platform’s clever algorithms, it tends to show us what it thinks we want to see. And this, annoyingly, means that a lot of Netflix’s truly brilliant content isn’t served up on a platter for all to see – you have to go hunting for it.

That’s why I feel pretty confident in assuming that, despite it being one of streaming platform’s most popular TV series this year, the majority of people reading this article won’t have watched Who Killed Sara? yet.

Now, however, is the time to catch up on the mystery thriller, as season two is due to drop on 19 May.

Here’s what you need to know about the series.

What’s the plot of Who Killed Sara?

As reported on 30 March: Titled ¿Quién mató a Sara? in Spanish, this Netflix Original follows a man seeking his sister’s killer after he was framed for her murder.

As per the official synopsis: “Alex, a man convicted of a crime he did not commit, is released after 18 years behind bars. Upon leaving, he only wants revenge on Rodolfo Lazcano, the person responsible for the death for which he was sentenced.

“Things get complicated when Alex starts a sentimental relationship with Elisa, the Lazcano’s youngest daughter, and when he discovers that Rodolfo is innocent and that someone else, who has skillfully kept in the shadows, was the true cause of his disgrace.”

What are people saying about Who Killed Sara?

Boasting a 92% ‘fresh’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes, reviews have been generally positive for this “compelling, revenge-thirsty murder mystery.”

As one critic puts it: “This show has a few logic problems, but its overall vibe is more than energetic enough, with good performances, to keep viewers’ attention.”

Essentially, then, it’s the sort of fun and pulpy thriller that packs a punch – but it doesn’t call for your utterly unbroken concentration and notebooks at the ready, à la Line Of Duty.

Ideal weekend bingeing material, then!
