Never underestimate the viewing power of petrolheads. Similar to how Fast & Furious has become one of the biggest movie franchises in the world, and the likes of Top Gear and The Grand Tour have both proved to be major TV hits, Netflix's Fastest Car became one of their most-binged series as audiences tried to speed through it.

A reality series based around drag racing, each episode features three drivers and their cars going up against each other in a quarter-mile drag race, building up to the big final at the dry lake bed El Mirage.

Reality shows are often compulsive viewing - just look at how Love Island took over the UK during the glorious, seemingly endless summer - and having all the episodes ready in one go only adds to that, because you don't have to wait too long to see who wins. With solid reviews and some stunning car action, there's a lot for viewers to enjoy, and it's an effortless binge that doesn't require much investment.
