A new Netflix thriller has topped a worldwide trending chart after its release last week.
Fall for Me premiered on the streaming service last Thursday (21 August) and has been Netflix's most-viewed film worldwide since then (via FlixPatrol).
At the time of writing, the film is the most watched in a lot of countries, although not in the major English-speaking territories (the UK, the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand), where KPop Demon Hunters and The Beekeeper currently hold the top spot.
The film follows a woman named Lilli who travels to Mallorca to celebrate her sister's engagement, but quickly finds that she doesn't trust the fiancé.
As she investigates, she finds herself drawn to another mysterious man, but is the thrill worth the danger?

What to Read Next
Despite its success with viewers, critics haven't really paid attention to Fall for Me, as Rotten Tomatoes has only collected five reviews. All of them are negative.
LeisureByte.com called it "a flat and stereotypical watch with nothing that stands out", while Digital Mafia Talkies dubbed it "mind-numbingly dull" despite its "exotic locales, beautiful-looking people, and extremely steamy scenes".
Ready Steady Cut went even further, and wrote that "the experience of watching Fall for Me is a lot like watching paint dry, with the semi-important caveat of someone getting their nipples out every twenty minutes or so".

Viewers don't seem to have a high opinion of it either, as the majority of user reviews are negative on both Rotten Tomatoes and IMDb, where the film has a user score of 4.7/10.
Common complaints are the numerous clichés of the script and the poor acting, but people did enjoy the visuals and the short runtime.
Fall for Me is available to stream now on Netflix.
