Social media users have taken to <a href="https://vt.co/entertainment/twitter-reacts-to-rumors-kim-kardashian-is-dating-tom-brady" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Twitter</a> to rave about Apple TV+'s newest series about wine tasting. Based on a Japanese manga series by Shin Kibayashi, Drops of God tells the story of a woman who "discovers the world's greatest wine collection that's left by her estranged father and competes against his protege to claim her inheritance" - a thrilling yet familiar storyline for those who have just finished watching HBO's masterpiece, Succession. The original animated version of the series initially debuted all the way back in 2004 and ran for an entire decade until it concluded in 2014. Now, in a fresh re-make starring Fleur Geffrier and Tomohisa Yamashita, fans will be excited to see the storyline brought to life through the creativity of Quoc Dang Trana, a French-Vietnamese television writer who worked on other popular projects such as Call My Agent!, as well as the director Oded Ruskin who has worked on shows such as Absentia and Lehiyot Ita. Check out the trailer: [[jwplayerwidget||https://cdn.jwplayer.com/videos/noLPd2W9-sKUnNGKf.mp4||noLPd2W9]] Despite the first episode only hitting our screens late last month, the series has managed to rack up some impressive stats as the season finale is set to premiere on Friday (June 2). On Rotten Tomatoes, Drops of God has a perfect overall score of 100% as well as a super impressive rating of 93% for the average audience score. Not only that, but social media users have taken to Twitter to rave about the storyline. "#DropsofGod I feel that people are missing out on a great series," wrote one user, who was trying to raise more awareness about it. "It has all the most key points, but quality is one of them. Even if people don't talk about it, it will remain in my retina as one of the greatest in the world of 2023." "Honestly #DropsOfGod on @AppleTV is one of the best things on TV right now," added another. A third gushed: "The show Drops of God is outstanding."

One user wrote: "Tomohisa Yamashita in Drops of God makes me want to move to Japan and take up wine tasting!!!!" Another also felt the same way tweeting: "I'm in love with Tomohisa Yamashita. #DropsofGod..." [[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/Cremstar2/status/1661392552933588992]] [[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/Natty0909/status/1662015431123542016]] The show is available to watch in three different languages including French, Japanese and English, which is yet another great selling point of the show, besides the thrilling storyline and the well-developed characters. And if you don't want to take it from me, take it from these media critics. BBC's Neil Armstrong <a href="https://www.bbc.com/culture/article/20230420-apple-tvs-drops-of-god-a-hugely-entertaining-thriller" target="_blank" rel="noopener">described</a> the show as "an unusual, stylish, hugely entertaining drama but rarely has watching television been such thirsty work." "You'll want a bottle of something special when you settle down to this show based on a hit manga series that sparked a wine boom in Japan and South Korea," he added. [[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/CrSf98OA495/]] Eater's Amy McCarthy also had some nice words to say in her <a href="https://www.eater.com/23697588/drops-of-god-apple-tv-series-review-manga" target="_blank" rel="noopener">review</a> of the piece. "...Even if the only thing you know about wine is that you like it cheap and plentiful, Drops of God manages to make something as seemingly dry and boring as oenology into a high-stakes, exciting drama. Here, intermingling the pursuit of wine perfection with familial expectation and the scars of childhood makes for one hell of a story." However, Jasper Ross of the Telegraph had a slightly more disappointing <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/tv/2023/04/21/drops-of-god-apple-tv-review-manga/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">review</a>, explaining that for him it was "oddly emotionless, yet sometimes gripping" while rating it a just-above-average 3/5 stars.

Drops of God is now available to stream on Apple TV+. <h6>Featured Image Credit: James Yarema / Unsplash</h6>
