Netflix has seen a great deal of success with crime dramas as of late, given the praise heaped onto “Luther: The Fallen Sun.” But make no mistake, the streaming service’s latest mystery series is its own beast about the lengths a mother will go to in order to protect her child, all while keeping her in the dark about why they live the way they do.
In addition to numerous viewers catching on to the riveting series, many reviewers have praised it for its unique storyline and compelling performances. The review for the show posted on Heaven of Horror drew attention to the latter: “These two women in the lead roles are amazing and carry the entire story on their backs. I especially enjoyed Melisa Sözen (star of the award-winning Winter Sleep) as the mother. I would definitely want her on my team during a zombie apocalypse. The alternative of being against her is terrifying.”
Meanwhile, the review on The Envoy Web listed many positives, including “Who Were We Running From? brings a strong premiere episode that leaves you with a lot of questions. Also, the narrative implies that Bambi and her mother are running away from something, but there is also an uneasy feeling, which suggests that there is a lot more to this.” Netflix has treated its subscribers to a plethora of new shows as of late, so make sure you don’t let this one slip through the cracks.
