TV fans rave over 'most binge-worthy show of the year' with a perfect Rotten Tomatoes score - and insist 'it's so much better than One Day'
TV fans are raving over the 'most binge-worthy show of the year' and are insisting 'it's so much better than One Day'.
Drops Of God follows Camille Léger, who is at a birthday party at a bar in Paris when she gets a call from her estranged father Alexandre, a world-famous wine expert living in Tokyo.
Camille hasn't seen her father since she was nine so she is shocked when he tells her over the phone that he is dying and asks her to come and see him.
But her father dies whilst she is en route to Tokyo on the private jet he sent to pick her up.
At the reading of the will, Camille meets Issei Tomine, a young man who was her father's protégé and his 'spiritual son'.
It transpires that her father left behind an extraordinary wine cellar filled with 87,000 top quality and rare bottles, worth an estimated Y167bn or £115million.

It is the greatest private wine collection in the world and, according to Léger, 'the fruit of a lifetime's work'.
His dying wish is for it to go to someone who can fully appreciate it so he set up a series of tests for Camille and Issei to see who can identify the most bottles and ultimately inherit the entire collection.
The show features French, Japanese and English language and is adapted from the New York bestselling manga series of the same name, written by award-winning Tadashi Agi, with artwork by Shu Okimoto.
It received critical acclaim when it was originally released last year, but many fans are only just discovering this hidden gem on Apple TV+.
Drops Of God also boasts a perfect 100% score from critics on Rotten Tomatoes and a whopping 93% from all viewers on their Popcornmeter.

One review said: 'Trying to tell people how complex and satisfying it is made me feel like a conspiracy nutter raving in front of a pin board covered in red string.'
Another wrote: 'The show somehow manages to take what seems like a non-competitive industry (at least to those of us who are wine illiterate) and turn it into a high stakes emotionally complex drama. It visualizes wine flavours in a live action Ratatouille-esque way.'
One viewer said: 'Just brilliant, unique, riveting and one of the most binge-worthy shows of the year. I have recommended it to so many people and each one thanks me effusively.'
A second posted: 'One of the best things I have seen in sometime. Why it is not getting more press is beyond me. Great plot, story. Maybe because of the subtitles people are not flocking to it. So much better than One Day.'
Drops Of God is available to stream on Apple TV+
