Netflix and American crime fiction author Harlan Coben have become quite the bedfellows over the past half a decade. The streamer has released a string of thriller series based on the writer’s best-selling works, and the latest collaboration between the two is already been heralded as Netflix’s first must-binge-watch show of 2024.
Fool Me Once is based on the 2016 novel of the same name, and like many of Coben’s works has a highly compelling core premise. The show switches the setting from the United States to the United Kingdom and sees Michelle Keegan play Maya, a woman reeling from the murder of her husband, Joe. But her world is upended when she spots her supposedly deceased husband on a secret nanny camera.
