Unfamiliar Surpasses 25.7 Million Hours Watched on Netflix

Netflix viewers have shown curiosity about Unfamiliar, even if reactions remain mixed. The six-part German spy drama has emerged as a major success on the platform, surpassing 25.7 million hours viewed and reaching the top of Netflix's global charts as tracked by FlixPatrol.

Audience reaction is divided, with a 67% viewer score on Rotten Tomatoes. Unfamiliar centers on Simon and Meret Schäfer (Felix Kramer, Susanne Wolff), a married couple in Berlin who run a restaurant and raise their teenage daughter, Nina (Maja Bons), while secretly maintaining a safe house from their former lives as intelligence agents.

That precarious balance collapses when a wounded stranger arrives, pulling a long-buried operation from 16 years earlier back into the present and unraveling the lies they have built their family on. Creator Paul Coates leans into genre conventions but reframes them through older, more fatigued characters.
