Netflix is known for producing and releasing haunting thrillers that leave viewers quaking in their seats and salivating for more. They hold a vast array of Spanish hits that gained international attention. Some of its well-known pieces include The Platform, Elite, and Money Heist. The COVID-19 lockdown provided bingers lots of time to catch up on the latest flicks. Netflix, however, is planning to release more.

On May 28, the streaming giant is set to publish a hair-raising Spanish crime thriller named La Corazonada (Intuition). The film will star Argentine actress and Michael Bublé's wife, Luisana Loreley Lopilato. She will act alongside The Boss, Anatomy of a Crime actor Joaquín Furriel, as well as Las Estrellas star Rafael Ferro.

Intuition is based on a Florencia Etcheves book, La Virgen En Tus Ojos (The Virgin In Your Eyes). The story will revolve around a police officer, Pipa as she works on her first big case solving the murder of Gloriana Marquez whose killer is suspected to be the elite Minerva del Valle. The Virgin In Your Eyes is part of the Francisco Juánez and Manuela Pelari crime trilogy.

The story, which is inspired by a Buenos Aires real case, promises to be entertaining and intriguing that promises to hook viewers in and take them on many twists and turns that come to a powerful and surprising end.

The film is the prequel to 2018 Spanish crime-drama Netflix film Perdida. The 2018 film, which is based on the third novel in the trilogy, explores a policewoman's life as she is haunted by the mysterious case behind the disappearance of her best friend, Cornelia. She plunges into the past to try and crack the case against the wishes of her superiors. Pipa finds herself involved in a lucrative human trafficking ring that may be linked to her friend's disappearance.

The gripping film, which translates to 'lost' from Spanish, features Pipa's struggles in finding a sense of self while also wrestling with Cornelia's ghost that haunts every single missing person case she solves.

Perdida features multiple characters and multiple story strands that add a lot of depth and flavour to the Argentine film's stark cinematography and its expressionistic and ambitious exploration of the world of human trafficking.

The Netflix original deviates from the source material's plot while still keeping the core elements that made the book an instant hit. The adaptation starts off strong with an enthralling search-and-rescue scene that will keep viewers off the chairs and on their toes. The director ends the story in a darkly mesmerizing and unexpected tone that all crime and mystery lovers would surely enjoy.

While Perdida was received with mixed reviews, many are still looking forward to the film's prequel, Intuition, as it promises to shed more light into the character and life of the protagonist as she juggles her daily life while working her way up the ranks of the law enforcement department.
