According to Pirloui: “A great success… I have not read this novel by Coben (I have read many others by him), the actors play rather well and the scenario is sufficiently tortuous but not excessively so. For my part I find the ending very good.”

What is it about ?

According to Pascal L: “A mini thriller series adapted from the eponymous novel by Harlan Coben which holds up. Good performances, extremely annoying teenagers, tortured parents, the damage of digital technology, a plot which slowly reveals itself for the hook and a particularly well-handled conclusion. To discover”
Don’t walk away: 3/5

According to MohDziri: “Captivating!! that’s what I remember from this mini series, I finished all the episodes in one day, but that doesn’t prevent the storyline from being a little weak at times, too much ease and too much coincidence, one moment we gets lost because there are too many secondary characters, the ending is really unexpected!! the actors are excellent, one of the strong points of this series! not bad to look at.”
Double trap: 3.3/5
What is it about ?

According to Lionel33000: “Hello New British detective series based on a novel by Harlan Coben is very nice to follow, 8 episodes and a good plot that keeps us on our toes until the end Very good distribution of roles to make us experience this strange story of Coben, a mystery, several plots, many characters for our greatest pleasure.”
In the woods: 3.5/5
What is it about ?
A Warsaw prosecutor regains hope when a body linked to the disappearance of his sister 25 years earlier is found.
According to Henrico : “A high quality thriller. Both by its complex and in-depth scenario, its very worked dialogues, its, the dazzling performances of the actors, and by the technical and poetic beauty of the shots. Only one problem, however: Agata Malesinska, Wojtek Miłoszewski, the creative duo, overstretch far too many scenes, giving a super heavy and nagging rhythm to the whole thing. We follow, certainly, but champing at the bit, thoroughly, and non-stop.”
Intimidation: 3.8/5
What is it about ?
Adam Price leads an idyllic life. He has a good job, he has two wonderful sons, and his marriage seems flawless. But his happiness is shattered when “The Stranger” reveals a shocking secret about Adam’s wife.
According to Rozlina: “This is a series that I really liked, we watched the series in two evenings because it was so addictive. Bravo to the actors, especially the actress who plays the police inspector. The plot is well put together and we wonder in each episode to try to guess, it’s very well put together. I hope there will be a sequel.”
Safe: 3.9/5
What is it about ?
Recently widowed, Tom is at the dawn of a new life with his two daughters, within a privileged and protected community. But deeply buried secrets will upset all this beautiful balance. Mysterious disappearance, adultery, assassination… Tom realizes that he doesn’t really know those around him. Will he manage to protect his loved ones against the dangers that await them?
According to Xavier D.: “A very good mini series on a drawer investigation orchestrated by Harlan Corben himself, I was pleased to find Michael C. Hall who knew how to remove the image of Dexter who had in him, very good but let’s also salute Marc Warren , Audrey Fleurot, Amanda Abbington. And many other talents that I must have forgotten. One season, 8 episodes was quite enough and given how it ends it’s a good thing. To taste !”
Innocent: 4/5
What is it about ?
After accidentally killing a man, he plunges into a tragic spiral. But as he finally finds love and freedom, a phone call revives his nightmare.
According to MerguezYes: “Simply brilliant, addictive, exciting. Fans of Harlan Coben (“Safe”, “Intimidation”) will love it. The screen version of the book is brilliantly successful with obviously each episode ending with unbearable suspense but very successful flashbacks and very fluid writing.”
