'Stressful' series with high Rotten Tomatoes score is keeping people up at night

Temple, a British drama currently streaming on Stan in Australia and recently dropped on Netflix overseas, is leaving viewers so 'stressed' they're unable to sleep at night. The show, which is based on a Norwegian thriller, also boasts a high Rotten Tomatoes score of 85 per cent for season one and 90 per cent for season two.

The show stars Dune: Prophecy's Mark Strong as Daniel Milton, a surgeon determined to save his dying wife by agreeing to treat criminals for cash in an illegal secret underground clinic in a disused section of Temple tube station. While it was first released in 2019, the show has grown in popularity due to its recent drop on Netflix, with many fans taking to social media to share their reviews.

"Temple on Netflix is so good but I’m so stressed," another said.

"Temple on Netflix. OMG I’m hooked 😭 I always do this to myself before bedtime," a third wrote.

"I am hooked already," a fourth said of the show, while someone else added, "What an emotional rollercoaster! Loved it."

"Three episodes in – f***ing genius," another fan wrote.

"Best show of 2024," someone else said, though the show is five years old at this point.

"Temple is really good, reminds me a touch of Breaking Bad," one fan said. "A 'normal man's' descent into psychopathy, or uncovering of it!"

Will there be a third season of Temple?

Many others have been begging to know if there will be a third season now that the show has found new life on Netflix.

"Is there a new season in the works?" one fan asked actor Daniel Mays, who has remained tight-lipped on the answer, but said he's "buzzing" the show is number two on the Netflix Top 10 Chart.

Mark Strong has previously spoken about the show with Collider, about the potential for a third season, saying, "The thing about any television series is that you need cliffhangers and you need moments that will encourage people to watch the next episode. In this particular instance, we want people to wanna know what happens in Season 3.

"We’ve written a couple of episodes and have a treatment ready for the third season, should we be lucky enough to get to make it, so we were very conscious that we wanted to have a big cliffhanger, which we do. What we chose to do leaves the opportunity for where we go next completely open. It shows you that Daniel hasn’t learned anything because, once again, he’s lying to people again and leaving people with emotional trauma to save his own skin."
