‘Severance’ Star’s Netflix Thriller Officially Scores 67 Million Views in Just 3 Weeks

Carefully created to appeal to the broadest possible audience, a new movie is emerging as a sleeper hit on Netflix. The movie, a psychological thriller, features stars who’ve proven their popularity across generations, and a plot that would appeal to anyone in between. While it revolves around grisly crimes, it is also a father-son story with a heart. We’re talking about the old-fashioned Netflix thriller The Whisper Man, in which a grieving novelist and his son move to a town devastated by serial child abductions. The movie stars Adam Scott in the lead role, and is curiously the second time this year that he has played a novelist battling internal demons.
