Secret Netflix code discovers 'riveting' mini-series with 100% rotten tomatoes rating as viewers rave it's a 'must see'
Inspired by the non-fiction book Spotify Untold, Netflix's The Playlist has been lauded by fans after Unilad uncovered a new way to find new shows.
According to the publication, they found the show through using the 'music genre category' which reportedly changed their algorithm to show a range of new shows.
And The Playlist was one of the top shows found with the 'new code' and it has already bagged a perfect score on the Rotten Tomatoes Tomatoemeter.
The six-episode series follows entrepreneur Daniel Ek (Edvin Endre) and his business partner Martin Lorentzon (Christian Hillborg).
It sees Daniel, a Swedish tech entrepreneur, and his partners set out to revolutionize the music industry with a streaming platform.
Each episode unfolds from a different perspective, including programmers, lawyers, artists and industry executives, to show how Spotify revolutionized the way we listen to music.
And viewers have raved about the show as they said it 'raises pertinent and unsettling questions.'
One penned: 'The Playlist starts out like a conventional biopic but culminates with a critical look at the industry.'
'While modernist in its methods, the series smoothly and intelligently weaves its stories into an enlightening whole, forming a vivid impression of life at the heady frontlines of the bloodless digital revolution.'
'The series is limited by its decision to show the most benevolent angle of such a savage industry.'
'The Playlist is near perfect. The mini-series sets the bar high for all biographical dramas to come after it. Particularly because it captures the ills of the tech industry, the joy, the fallout, and the many many people that all go into one success...'
'Tells the story of Spotify from various perspectives... That structure helps slice up a story that doesn't have a ton of conflict.'
And The Playlist was one of the top shows found with the 'new code' and it has bagged 100% on the Rotten Tomatoes Tomatoemeter
'Riveting enough to be a definite binge watcher. Great casting and authentic acting.'
'Great show. It shows different perspectives, one per episode but still goes on in time. Especially the last episode is a nice surprise but I wont spoiler :)'
'The way they showed how the journey of each individual played into the plot was very impressive. A 10/10 absolute binge worthy'
The Biography drama was first aired in October, 2022 on Netflix and also bagged a score of 7.4 on IDMb.

Lidl to sell £7.99 dupe of £29.50 Marks & Spencer essential that is perfect for summer holidays
LIDL is selling a £7.99 dupe of a £29.50 Marks & Spencer essential that is perfect for summer holidays. Shoppers can find a trendy pair of sandals from the middle of the aisle for just a fraction of the price of the original version from M&S. Whether you're planning to stroll the streets of a sunny destination or simply want something to slip your feet into on the way to the pool, these shoes are worth the investment. The Esmara Ladies' Brown Sandals will be available for just £7.99 from Lidl. Product details These leather mules from LWG-certified tanneries have moulded footbeds for extra comfort. These EVA soles are also lightweight to ensure all day wear without issue. And the shoe straps also feature buckles for an easily adjusted fit. These sandals are available in women's sizes four through 7.5. Shoppers can find these from the Lidl middle aisle from Sunday, July 27. M&S version A similar version is available at Marks & Spencer for a slightly higher price. The Suede Buckle Footbed Mules are available for £29.50, in both black and khaki. "Add some luxe texture to your favourite sunny day looks with these suede mules," said the product description. Primark's new £10 summer top is the perfect & Other Stories dupe "The easy slip-on design features comfy footbeds set on practical low heels for all-day comfort." Manufacturers described the shoes as "effortlessly stylish" and "easy-to-wear". These shoes are available in women's sizes three through eight. The sandals have received an average rating of 4.6 stars out of five from M&S customers. Shoppers confirmed that the shoes fit true to size. Hottest fashion trends of 2025 Fabulous' Fashion Editor Clemmie Fieldsend shares the biggest trends from the high street. The East/West Bag Baguette bags have had a good run, after returning from the 1990s' shoulders of Sarah Jessica Parker to modern-day fashion icons, like Hailey Bieber. In 2025, the East/West bag is a similar but elongated shape and has long, thin straps that are easy to throw over your shoulder. They've been on runway models' arms at nearly ever designer show - think Burberry, Givenchy and Bottega Veneta - and are hitting the high street now, too. Powder pink Bright fuchsia pink had its day after the release of Barbie in 2023 and now the more polished and expensive-looking pale shade is taking over for 2025. Pantone may say that it's the year of Mocha Mousse, but the catwalks say otherwise! From Prada to Erdem, the subtle look was all over the spring/summer catwalks, worn head-to-toe or on its own. If the sugary shade is too girly for you, then look to sharp suiting for a androgynous take on the colour. The shell jacket The '80s classic is back, but with a sleek and minimal new twist for 2025. We all know we're likely to see rain for most of spring, so your practical coat of choice should be a cagoule jacket. Depop revealed one of its big trend predictions for this year is retro sportswear, with surges already seen in '80s windbreakers'. Seen everywhere from the stylish streets of Copenhagen to the Miu Miu catwalk, now mums who have an emergency raincoat crumpled underneath their pushchair are very much in fashion! The turn-up jeans While the shape of jeans remains the same for this year and barrel-legs will still be everywhere, the way we're styling them is different. This season, transform your wide-leg, baggy denims into turn-ups. For this look, size doesn't matter, so while deep turn-ups are a hit from jean trend-leaders Citizens of Humanity, a slight fold is still just as good - but only as it's just one single fold. Peep-toe shoe Get your pedicures booked in sharpish, as this season your toes are the main event. After a long hiatus, the peep-toe has been welcomed back into the fashion fold, with brands like Hermes, Miu Miu and Tory Burch showing plain and embellished footwear in this style. From mules to pumps and clogs (yes, clogs will be around too!), there are lots of different styles that are set to sweep the high street. Sheer blouses See-through looks have always lived on the catwalk, but have rarely filtered into everyday life - until now. Designers Ralph Lauren and Tom Ford loved sheer looks on their S/S '25 catwalks and M&S even had sellout success with its black sheer pencil skirt last season. Expect to see more sheer looks lining supermarket aisles and high street shops in the form of skirts, tops and frocks. More on fashion buys Plus, the £12 jeans available from Sainsbury's, they're perfect for summer and autumn. Another Sainsbury's fashion buy looks fresh out of the 1920s. The retailer also has a £26 dress that shoppers say is perfect for summer getaways. And an £11 Tesco dress that works "year round" and is super flattering around the arms. Another Tesco printed midi dress is available for £12, it disguises your tummy and is perfect for summer.

England fans upset as Agyemang omitted from Royal Family photo
July 26 - England's Royal Family is under fire from Lioness fans after a good luck message that included photos of several players was missing young star Michelle Agyemang. The 19-year-old Agyemang, who is Black, saved England at the brink with late goals in both their narrow quarter-final win over Sweden and semi-final victory over Italy. "I think that would never, ever be intentional," England coach Sarina Wiegman said, when asked about the omission in Saturday's pre-game press conference. "I think the message from the Royal Family is that they really, really support us, and we really appreciate that. It's unfortunate that (Agyemang) is not on the picture, but there's all good intentions." The Royal Family posted their congratulations on reaching the Euro final on several social media platforms. "Your journey to this stage has been nothing short of remarkable, showcasing the skill, determination (and test of nerve!) for which your team is so rightly celebrated," the message said. "Knowing the Lionesses' fighting spirit, I suspect we are in for another thrilling encounter on Sunday. "Your achievements continue to inspire countless girls and women across the nation, proving once again that with dedication and teamwork, anything is possible. Good luck, England. May you roar to victory once more." The Royal Family did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the post. It includes a photo of England's starting 11 for a game earlier in the tournament and includes Jess Carter, who announced earlier in the tournament that she was coming off of social media after receiving racist abuse. The post also includes several other players in action. The post was met with an outcry from many fans on social media. "Black women aren't invisible. Let's stop erasing them," Miriam Walker-Khan, the founder of Brown Girl Sport, wrote on X.
