Looking for a new Harlan Coben thriller to binge-watch?
Here they all are from Fool Me Once to The Innocent and more, ranked in recommendation order.
Binge-watches par excellence, each one of these series is precision-designed to be gulped down in very few bites.
If youre watching with subtitles then, expect more nudity and sexual violence, and fewer comedy alpacas.
So unravels a complicated crime story with a needlessly repetitive structure.
What it lacks in charm, it makes up for in gunfire and shootouts with preposterous villains.
Nice looks nice though.
At 10 episodes,The Fiveis over-long and feels convoluted, but its main issue is character.
This is the classic Coben story of a comfortable middle-class existence shaken by long-buried secrets.
Prepare yourself for that, and this six-episodeFrenchmystery will fill your time well enough.
There are drug dealers, revenge porn, assassins, and Bushido stick fighting.
Its overstuffed with plot and finale twists that, once prodded, fall apart under scrutiny.
And Adams not the only one.
Look out for Coben playing a police computer analyst in the back of an episode two shot.
See also: alpacas.
This one isa mixed bag.
And then theres the other stuff, which is… mind-blowingly tasteless, and a spoiler to say why.
Alexandra Lamy plays Alice, a doctor who suffers a brutal attack in which her baby daughter is kidnapped.
A proper old-fashioned thrill ride.
Fool Me Once (2023)
Two words: Adeel Akhtar.
Are their murders connected, and if so, can Kierce find out how?
Its highly watchable stuff and a great place to start with these shows.
