Den gyllene timmen Netflix crime thriller second season, Digi Mart USA News: There is an enormous amount to watch on Netflix, and many good series risk slipping under the radar. We became curious about a Dutch viewer favorite that has been discussed in MovieZine’s popular Facebook group Bäst på Netflix.
The thriller series being talked about is titled “Den gyllene timmen” (“Het Gouden Uur” in Dutch, translated as “The Golden Hour”). It premiered in 2022 and became a surprise streaming hit, quickly attracting 2.5 million viewers.
Just weeks ago, the second season was released in Sweden.
One Swedish viewer, Kristian T., wrote on Facebook: “Great that the Dutch series ‘Den gyllene timmen’ is back with a new season. The first season was really good, and after watching half of the second, I think it is at least as good.
A nail-biter.”
The title “Den gyllene timmen” refers to the first hour after a terrorist attack, when the risk of a second attack is at its highest.
The first season centers on a terrorist attack in Amsterdam. Police investigator Mardik, who has Afghan roots, suspects his childhood friend Faysal is behind the attack.
At the same time, he himself becomes one of the suspects and must clear his name.
In the second season, Europe is threatened by a far-right conspiracy while a new, large-scale terrorist attack is being planned. The series promises an intense action thriller and a race against the clock, and critics have compared it to both “24” and “Bodyguard.”
Among comments from Swedish viewers, several have been hooked by the series’ 12 episodes in total.
Both seasons of “The Golden Hour” are available on Swedish Netflix. A third season has not yet been confirmed.
