Fool Me Once review - Harlan Coben’s thriller adaptation will test your patience and how!

Directed by Nimer Rashed and Isher Sahota, with the series adapted by Victoria Asare-Archer and additional writing by Sumerah Srivastav, Missing You is set in the UK, unlike the novel’s original New York setting. Each episode will have a run-time of an hour.

The series revolves around DI Donovan, a detective on the Missing Persons unit, whose fiancé disappears without a trace. Eleven years later, she stumbles upon him on a dating site. If that wasn’t shocking enough, she’s requested by a young man to investigate his mom’s case, claiming that she was last seen in the company of DI Donovan’s former fiancé. “You are the only one who can find her,” the young man tells DI Donovan.

Hold Tight review: A gripping Harlan Coben adaptation, ruined by a nonsensical secondary plot

As she investigates the missing woman’s case, DI Donovan also begins to piece together the circumstances behind her fiance’s disappearance, given that she always thought he’d left because of the murder of her father, DS Clint Donovan.

As she unravels secrets, DI Donovan’s career hangs precariously in the balance. Can she let go and not pursue it further or will she dig deeper and find out the truth after all? Find out this New Year’s on Netflix.
