Netflix fans ‘hooked’ on thriller with ‘so many twists’ they can’t stop watching
Netflix fans have said they can’t stop watching a gripping new series that has “so many twists” it has them “hooked”. Audiences around the country have kicked off the new year with Fool Me Once, the latest TV adaptation from master mystery writer Harlan Coben.
The pulse-pounding series is fronted by Brassic star Michelle Keegan alongside The Hobbit actor Richard Armitage and Joanna Lumley and is adapted from Coben’s 2016 novel of the same name. It follows former soldier Maya Stern (Keegan) as she tries to come to terms with the brutal murder of her husband, Joe (Armitage).
When Maya installs a nanny-cam to keep an eye on her young daughter, she is shocked to see her husband, who she thought was dead. Detective Sergeant Sami Kierce (Adeel Akhtar) leads the homicide investigation into Joe’s death while grappling with secrets of his own.
