The crime mystery series 'Dublin Murders', produced by the BBC in 2019, has experienced a notable rise in the Netflix Top 10, recently reaching fourth place.

The plot, set in the suburbs of Dublin, is based on the novels by Tana French, a renowned crime novelist and New York Times bestselling author.

This series, which was quietly added to the platform earlier this month, stars Sarah Greene and Killian Scott, who play detectives Rob Reilly and Cassie Maddox, members of an elite homicide squad.

The official BBC synopsis describes the story as the case of a young, talented ballerina found dead on an ancient stone altar, which unearths another tragedy that affected the community years ago, when three children disappeared into the local woods and only one returned.

The series, which was largely filmed in Belfast and the surrounding areas of Northern Ireland, as well as Dublin, has captured the public's attention for its intricate narrative and complex characters.

The woods where the murders take place were filmed in Tollymore Forest in Northern Ireland, a location that was also used for Game of Thrones and the movie Dracula Untold.

The series has generated a positive response from both the public and critics, achieving a score of 78% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Users like Anthony Y have praised 'The Dublin Murders' as a 'beautifully brutal' miniseries with 'perfect' performances.

The critics have been equally favorable, with outlets like Observer highlighting its atmosphere and Den of Geek calling it an 'excellent and unique crime story'.

The creator of the series, Sarah Phelps, was 'compelled' by Tana French's novels, highlighting the deep connection between the main characters.

Phelps explained that the relationship between the characters is something tragic and very personal that has haunted them throughout their adult lives.

The lead actress, Sarah Greene, described the filming as 'pretty heavy', mentioning the need to adopt a specific mindset to play the detectives.

The series adapts two novels by French, 'In The Woods' and 'The Likeness'.

For scenes set in the 1980s, the nearby village of Drumaness was used, with Garda cars and ice cream vans from the time.

The series 'Dublin Murders' is available for streaming on Netflix and BBC iPlayer.
