The perfect show to fill January evenings.

The new mystery thriller from Harlan Coben, titled Fool Me Once, has dropped on Netflix. Many of you will likely be familiar with Coben’s previous work, with the mystery thriller writer having created the hugely popular Netflix series Safe and The Stranger. His work has become famous for being full of intrigue, plot twists and drama - with the shows being streamed by millions. And now his latest project has arrived on the streaming service. With a cast including Michelle Keegan, Richard Armitage, Joanna Lumley and Emmett J. Scanlan, Fool Me Once is based on Coben's 2016 novel of the same name and revolves around couple Joe (Armitage) and Maya (Keegan).

The trailer released last month shows Joe being killed by an unidentified shooter, with Maya then seen mourning her husband at his funeral. But when he later turns up on her toddler’s nanny cam, she starts to wonder whether all is as it seems. The series synopsis reads: “Detective Sergeant Sami Kierce (Adeel Akhtar) leads the homicide investigation into Joe’s death while grappling with secrets of his own. “Meanwhile, Maya’s niece and nephew, Abby and Daniel, are trying to find the truth about their mother’s murder, several months earlier. Are the two cases connected? “Fool Me Once follows these characters on a thrilling hunt for the truth that will reveal shocking secrets and change their lives forever.” Trailer viewers are teased with the prospect that Joe had “stumbled upon something big” before his death, and it’s fair to say our curiosity has been piqued. Fool Me Once is available to stream now on Netflix, the perfect thing to get you through the cold January evenings. Read more:
