Given how ubiquitous some Netflix series are, we often forget that the sheer breadth of the streaming service's offerings can mean that some truly high-quality shows can get buried under that avalanche of choice.That's where Tom's Guide comes in. We regularly sift through that sprawling selection to give you curated mini-guides of worth-a-watch TV series and films across a wide array of genres. And if you're a fan of the thriller genre — with all its suspense, surprises and spine-tingling moments — I've picked a trio of great Netflix thrillers to recommend next.And handily, they're all in the miniseries format, which is perfect for binge-watching in one weekend, with neatly contained stories spread out across a handful of episodes. That means the tensions remain high, the pace nicely chugging along, and there's no waiting years between seasons to see how all those twists and turns shake out. If you’re after something engrossing without the long-term commitment, here are three Netflix thriller miniseries you might not have heard of but should definitely check out next.‘Katla’

Created by Baltasar Kormákur and Sigurjón Kjartansson, this Icelandic mystery-drama finds its thrills in both the natural and supernatural worlds: A year after a catastrophic volcanic eruption shakes up the small, southernmost village of Vik, former townsfolk thought to be lost in the natural disaster start reappearing in the village, caked in ash but otherwise unharmed. More and more residents, all previously presumed to be dead, begin mysteriously emerging from the glacial ice, bringing up questions of lingering grief and long-running folklore for the residents who were left behind.Starring Guðrún Ýr Eyfjörð, Íris Tanja Flygenring and Ingvar Sigurðsson, the eight-episode thriller is a haunting slow-burn watch, one that earned a coveted 100% critical approval rating over on Rotten Tomatoes. For New Scientist, Robyn Chowdhury praised Katla as "a thriller with such depth that some episodes, particularly the fast-paced season finale, can leave you feeling genuinely emotionally raw. It is a story about grief with unpredictably dark twists and turns, worthy of multiple watches."Stream "Katla" on Netflix now'Bodkin'
