Netflix series by Guy Ritchie surpasses Black Mirror in viewer ratings as fans rave

Netflix 's newest hit, The Diamond Heist, has quickly become a sensation, overtaking the platform's most popular show just days after its debut. Released last Wednesday, this gripping three-part series explores a daring plan to steal a diamond from the Millennium Dome—now known as the O2 Arena—in London in 2000, an event described as "one of the most daring heists in British history." With Guy Ritchie serving as one of the executive producers, the docu-series focuses on the criminals' intricate plot to snatch the collection, valued at an astonishing $460 million, and the Metropolitan Police's Flying Squad's impressive response.

A captivating synopsis teases: "This stranger-than-fiction crime caper follows the attempted robbery of a precious gem, told by the gangsters who did it and the police on their tail." The show has skyrocketed to the top of Netflix's charts, knocking Black Mirror off its recent top spot.

The Diamond Heist documentary has faced intense backlash, with many condemning the decision to feature one of the perpetrators. Critics have deemed this move "problematic," arguing that it "glamorizes" the heist. One scathing review on IMDb reads, "On the one hand this is quite an interesting heist with a good story to tell.

On the other this is such a slick and glossy production that it ends up glamorising and sanitising the real crime and gangsters as if it's one of Guy Ritchies dramas." The critic further emphasized, "There is a difference between TV drama and reality after all, and I think a different production style would have helped. It also gives a lot of attention and voice to the criminals themselves, which is what they want (as they say in their own words).

Almost resulting in giving the impression they were in the right or somehow entitled to do what they did.".
