Harlan Coben, the author behind the novel that hit new Netflix thriller Fool Me Once is based on, has addressed a major detail that was bothering fans of the show: what was up with Shane (Emmet J. Scanlan)? Warning: Fool Me Once spoilers ahead!
The best friend of protagonist Maya (Michelle Keegan), a veteran and widow whose world is turned upside down when she sees her murdered husband (Richard Armitage) enter her home as an intruder on her nanny cam, Shane seemed suspicious of her throughout the show, placing trackers on her car and keeping watch outside of her house. Although it transpired that he was innocent, fans were still suspicious of him and felt that his actions weren't ever thoroughly explained.
