Here’s my issue with Just One Look.

If Netflix is your go-to streaming service and you're a fan of mystery shows and thrillers, then you've most likely heard of Harlan Coben. The bestselling author has become a powerhouse on the platform, with multiple gripping series adaptations of his novels currently streaming. In 2025, the streaming giant released three new Harlan Coben shows, but while they all promise suspense, only one truly delivers and keeps you entertained throughout. Keep reading to find out which of these shows is worth your time.

Netflix kicked off the year with the release of Missing You, a mystery series adapted from Coben's 2014 novel. In early March, the platform debuted the Polish-language thriller Just One Look, based on Coben's 2004 book of the same name. Most recently, Netflix launched the Argentinian series Caught, which is based on Coben's 2010 book. I got the chance to watch all three shows, and while none of them were complete misses,...

Missing You sits...

Harlan Coben's latest adaptation continues a positive Netflix trend for the acclaimed writer and executive producer. Missing You, which debuted on January 1, is among the most-watched shows so far this year on the platform.

Per FlixPatrol, the Coben adaptation debuted at No. 3 on Netflix's Top 10 most-watched series list and is still yet to drop below fourth place. Missing You's success continues the mystery novel writer's streak of wins since he inked a multi-million-dollar, 5-year contract with Netflix in 2018. Per the terms of the deal, the giant streamer would develop fourteen of his novels for the big and small screen, with Coben as executive producer on all projects. The deal was extended in 2022 following the arrival of The Stranger, The Woods, The Innocent, Gone For Good, Stay Close, and Hold Me Tight, all to varying degrees of acclaim. 2024's Fool Me Once was Coben's last adaptation to debut before his latest effort.

Harlan Coben's brand-new 2025 Netflix thriller has found itself at the top of the streaming platform's global charts. The American author is one of the most successful mystery-thriller writers in the world, having written more than 30 novels that have collectively sold more than 60 million copies worldwide. 12 of Coben's novels have been adapted for the screen, including The Five, which aired on Sky 1 in the UK, and the one-season hit Shelter, which aired on Prime Video. Coben's stories are known for their mix of interpersonal drama with thriller elements.

Back in 2018, Coben signed a multi-million-dollar, five-year deal with Netflix, under which 14 of his novels would be adapted for the streaming platform across different territories and languages. His debut Netflix show was Michael C. Hall's mystery thriller Safe in May 2018. The psychological thriller series featured the story of a widower father whose daughter goes missing, leading him to discover dark truths.

Warning: Spoilers ahead for Missing You.

Netflix’s new Harlan Coben series Missing You repeats one of the most notable complaints from another Coben series, Fool Me Once. After releasing on Netflix on January 1, 2025, Missing You has become one of the most popular new series of the new year. Rosalind Eleazar leads the cast of Missing You alongside Ashley Walters, Mary Malone, Jessica Plummer, Richard Armitage, and Charlie Hamblett. The 5-part series was directed by Nimer Rashed and Isher Sahota.

Missing You is the latest entry to Netflix's Harlan Coben Collection, which also includes The Stranger, Stay Close, Safe, Hold Tight, The Innocent, Gone For Good, and 2024's Fool Me Once. Despite its current popularity on Netflix, Missing You divided critics, earning a score of 52% on Rotten Tomatoes and an eyebrow-raising 27% audience score. One of the major reasons for Missing You's notably low audience score is its numerous plot holes and head-scratching moments.

Acclaimed author Harlan Coben has a new series now streaming on Netflix, and to no one’s surprise, it has found immediate success and climbed to near the top of streaming charts. Missing You, the crime thriller series starring Rosalind Eleazar (Slow Horses) and Jessica Plummer, is currently the second-most popular show on Netflix at the time of writing, second only to Squid Game Season 2. Missing You tells the story of Kat Donavan, a detective who is forced to unravel a mysterious conspiracy theory surrounding her father and ex-fiancé after she finds his profile on a dating app. The show currently sits at abysmal scores of 50% from critics and 28% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, but that hasn’t stopped it from racking up viewership numbers and performing well for Netflix.

Harlan Coben has admitted he worries he’ll never have another idea for a TV series or novel. The acclaimed author has found huge success with Netflix adapting Fool Me Once and now Missing You.

The mystery writer's latest series adaptation, Missing You, landed on Netflix last week, featuring Slow Horses’s Rosalind Eleazar as Detective Inspector Kat Donovan searching for her fiancé years after he suddenly disappeared. Even though Coben has several other adaptations of his books in active development with Netflix and Prime Video, he has now revealed his insecurity over writing each new story.

The Rotten Tomatoes results for Netflix's Missing You have added more pressure to the next crime series set for release in 2025. Directed by Sean Spencer, the series follows Kat Donovan, a detective whose life is thrown into turmoil after discovering her estranged fiancé, Josh, on a dating app 11 years after his mysterious disappearance. This discovery opens up old wounds for Kat as she is forced to deal with the sudden reappearance of her former fiancé, and she is later faced with unexpected news regarding her father's unsolved murder.

Missing You is adapted from the 2014 Harlan Coben novel and is the latest of several Harlan Coben novels that have been adapted into television series. The cast of Missing You includes Rosalind Eleazor, Jessica Plummer, and Richard Armitage. As the miniseries progresses, their characters discover that there are more twists and complications to the cases than they previously believed. While the...

We're nearing the end of the new Harlan Coben Netflix show, Missing You, and things are getting really good! At the end of Missing You episode 3, Kat Donovan (Rosalind Eleazar) learns that her friend, Aqua (Mary Malone), was the person who attacked Brendan (Oscar Kennedy) in the park.

Missing You episode 4 begins shortly after, but first, we get to see a flashback of Josh (Ashley Walters) showing Aqua the ring. He was going to propose to Kat before he left. Then, we’re in the interrogation room with Aqua and Kat. Aqua saw Brendan leaving Kat’s place and she followed him because she wanted to try to protect Josh. Remember, Aqua believes Josh isn’t a bad guy. During the conversation, Aqua has a breakdown after being triggered by a memory of someone banging on a door. We don’t know what that means, but it likely has to do with Josh’s disappearance.

After a flurry of festive releases, shows, and films many people may be looking for something new to watch in January. Luckily there are a few new releases out on Netflix this month. If you want a good comedy caper, then Vengeance Most Fowl, the latest Wallace and Gromit animation, could be right up your street. But what if you want a darker thriller instead?

Well, the answer likely lies in the latest release in a series of Harlan Coben novels made into dramas for Netflix. Missing You was announced some time ago and is based on Coben’s 2014 novel. The writer and Netflix have an ongoing collaboration. This is the latest to be released and is available now.

There is a strong cast including Rosalind Eleazar in the lead role as Detective Kat Donovan. She is very ably supported by the likes of Richard Armitage, Lenny Henry, Steve Pemberton,...

Harlan Coben’s new Netflix show, Missing You, gets off to a bit of a slow start in the series premiere, “Every Breath You Take.” Kat Donovan (Rosalind Eleazar) finds her ex who has been missing for 11 years on a dating app. When she reaches out, he cuts off contact. Then, she finds out that the man who killed her father, Detective Clint Donovan (Lenny Henry), didn’t actually kill her father. On top of that, her ex, Josh (Ashley Walters), spoke with the killer the day before he walked out of Kat’s life.

What makes a series based on a Harlan Coben novel so appealing to audiences? The producers behind streaming giant Netflix’s hit show Fool Me Once, which they are following up with Missing You, which hit the streamer on Jan. 1, shared their take with The Hollywood Reporter.

“It comes from the very twisted brain of Harlan Coben. I mean twisted as in telling stories that are twisted and twisting,” said executive producer Nicola Shindler, whose Quay Street Productions, part of ITV Studios, is behind both shows. “And you always know from the start that Harlan has got a brilliant ending, and then you know that there are just going to be so many surprises along the way.”

“Also, the are likable people in the shows and in the books as well,” Shindler emphasizes.

“Tonally, there’s a warmth, a heart and a human (touch) to the way that Harlan writes,...

Stars Rosalind Eleazar and Sir Lenny Henry, alongside series creator and writer of the original novel Harlan Coben, address the explosive ending of Netflix’s Missing You. The thriller follows Detective Kat Donovan (Eleazar), who, after discovering her missing ex-fiancé Josh Buchanan (Ashley Walters) on a dating app, enters a maze of lies and secrets tied to the unresolved murder of her father, Clint (Henry). The five-part series spins a web of deceit, lost love, and shocking revelations, with the ensemble Missing You cast including Richard Armitage, Jessica Plummer, and Marc Warren.

In an interview with Tudum, Coben and the cast delved into the emotional weight of Missing You's conclusion. Eleazar’s Kat learns that her father, a respected cop, was embroiled in corruption and ultimately killed during a confrontation with Josh as he aggressively scrambled to keep his affair with his lover, Parker (Cyril Nri), a secret. Here's what...

Believe it or not, Rosalind Eleazar is used to playing wilder characters than Detective Kat Donovan in Netflix’s Missing You.

But it didn’t stop the shoot from getting pretty intense.

The latest in the streamer’s slate of Harlan Coben adaptations, Missing You follows the story of Slow Horses star Eleazar as a detective specializing in Missing Persons.

Eleven years ago, her fiancé Josh (played by Ashley Walters), the love of her life, vanished without a trace. Now, swiping profiles on a dating app, she sees his face, and her world threatens to explode all over again. The experience forces her to dive back into the mystery surrounding the murder of her father (Lenny Henry) and uncover long-buried secrets from her past. Coben said on a London panel the show has “the most emotional ending that I’ve experienced,” adding that he “actually cried.”

With twists and turns at every possible point,...

Fans are curious about Missing You's Rosalind Eleazar, as the young actress seems to have some sort of finger deformity called Hand Symbrachydactyly in the series. 

Eleazar joins the 2025 Netflix drama as Detective Inspector Kat Donovan, a young woman who discovers her missing fiance on a dating app more than a decade after his disappearance.

Eleazar leads the Missing You cast, acting alongside A-list talent like Jessica Plummer and Richard Armitage.

In the Netflix limited series “Missing You,” Rosalind Eleazar of “Slow Horses” stars as a woman seeking answers about the murder of her father — and her missing fiancée. It’s based on the novel by Harlan Coben, but set in England instead of in New York City.

It’s the ninth Netflix series based on the mystery writer’s novels and several cast members, and some of the cast, Richard Armitage and James Nesbitt, starred in previous series based on his works.

Here’s who plays who in the series, which is now streaming on Netflix, and where you might have seen them before.

Harlan Coben’s new Netflix show, Missing You, just premiered on Netflix on Jan. 1, 2025. When publishing this recap and review, it’s the no. 2 Netflix show behind Squid Game season 2. It seems unlikely that it’ll be more popular than Squid Game after seeing the early numbers, but it’s still well on its way to a huge premiere, just like Fool Me Once, the Harlan Coben Netflix show that premiered on New Year’s Day 2024.

Missing You episode 1, “Every Breath You Take,” begins the same way most of Coben’s show begin with a big mystery, a detective, and a new case that re-opens old wounds to solve.

In the opening scene, we see a man trying to escape something on a horse. He looks disheveled, but he’s imagining an old love. Then, he falls off the horse and knocks himself out.

Then, we meet the protagonist of the season Detective Kat Donovan,...

Missing You is a mystery thriller drama series created by Victoria Asare-Archer. Based on the 2014 novel of the same name by author Harlan Coben, the Netflix series follows detective Kate Donovan, who finds her missing fiancé on a dating app ten years after he supposedly disappeared. Missing You stars Rosalind Eleazar, Jessica Plummer, Richard Armitage, Lenny Henry, Steve Pemberton, Marc Warren, Samantha Spiro, Lisa Faulkner, Mary Malone, and Ashley Walters.

Fool Me Once is a British mystery thriller drama series created by Danny Brocklehurst, Charlotte Coben, Yemi Oyefuwa, Nina Metivier, and Tom Farrelly. Based on the 2016 novel of the same name by Harlan Coben, the Netflix series follows Maya Stern,...

The Rotten Tomatoes score of Netflix's new TV show Missing You is significantly lower than Fool Me Once. Missing You and Fool Me Once are adaptations of Harlan Coben's books. Netflix adapted both novels. Missing You revolves around Detective Inspector Kat Donovan, who discovers her missing fiancé on a dating site over ten years after he disappeared. Despite the excitement leading up to the premiere, including first-look images of Harlan Coben's adaptation of Missing You, the show has a 44% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. However, Fool Me Once garnered 71% on Rotten Tomatoes—almost a 30% difference.

Despite the low ratings, Missing You has a talented cast of characters, from Rosalind Eleazar to Jessica Plummer to Ashley Walters. Missing You's ending also contains many explosive twists. While Missing You may not be the best of Netflix's Harlan Coben TV shows, the difference between Missing You and Fool Me Once is still staggering.

Warning! This article contains major Missing You spoilers.

Missing You author Harlan Coben shares his emotional reaction to the finale of the Netflix adaptation. Missing You arrived one year after Coben's Fool Me Once dominated the streaming charts, with the new series focusing on a detective who loses the love of her life. It is based on Coben's 2014 novel of the same name. The adaptation is led by Slow Horses star Rosalind Eleazar, with an ensemble that includes Ashley Walters, Jessica Plummer, and Richard Armitage.

In an interview with Variety, Coben reveals the new Netflix show garnered an emotional reaction out of him. The author, who is an executive producer on the series, notes that Fool Me Once did get a reaction out of him but the latest adaptation was the most emotionally invested he's gotten. The quote is below:

“This is the most emotional ending that I’ve experienced.

The new Harlan Coben series that launched on Netflix on Jan. 1 uses the title of John Waite’s hit “Missing You,” just like its book version. No surprise given that the famous author felt the title was “perfect” for the novel, as he revealed during a recent visit to London to present a first glimpse of the screen adaptation, which is expected to use song titles for each of its five episodes.

“I thought of the song right away,” Coben shared with reporters who got to see the first episode of the series. “In fact, John Waite and I, when the book came out, actually did a couple of events together.”

“Yeah, he did the singing,” the best-seller author quipped. “And when he heard about the show, he inundated me with emails like, ‘Here’s another version that I’ve done on the song,’ and ‘Here’s a duet I did with the song.

Forget “Nashville’s Big Bash,” “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest,” and Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper taking advantage of CNN’s refreshment budget. TV’s most popular New Year’s tradition is fast becoming a Netflix whodunit which continually drops the ball in plot, dialogue, and anything approaching the human condition.

Indeed, following the success of “Stay Close” and “Fool Me Once,” the streaming giant is once again ringing in the New Year with the help of potboiler extraordinaire Harlan Coben. This time around, it’s his 2014 novel “Missing You” getting the small screen treatment across five episodes precision tooled to binge along with your party leftovers. And it may well be the most far-fetched yet, no tall order considering previous ventures have involved everything from decapitated alpacas and deepfaked dead partners to a murderous cabaret duo named Ken and Barbie.

Named after the...

Talk about a week with something truly for everyone, the last week of December features a variety of options – from a new Harlan Coben-based Netflix series (“Missing You”), a documentary about a weirdo millionaire who wants to be 18 again (“Don’t Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever” on Netflix) and a brand-new Wallace and Gromit movie (“Vengeance Most Fowl” on Netflix). That and so much more. Like we said – something for everyone.

Missing You is mostly about Detective Inspector Kat Donovan (Rosalind Eleazar), who is haunted by the murder of her father and the sudden disappearance of her fiancé. Her emotional journey reflects a society afraid to confront its shared grief.

Finding Josh’s (Ashley Walters) profile on a dating app serves as a catalyst, bringing together her pain and her professional job. Can we escape the shadows of our quest? This connection begs the existential question.

The side story about a missing teen’s mother is a moving backdrop and mirrors Kat’s quest for closure. It underscores their fragility in a digital age that frequently destroys personal connections.

Every case Kat looks into shows how society doesn’t pay enough attention to personal trauma. This turns her job duties into a deeper reflection on loss and the human state. The narrative makes fun of cultural amnesia and shows how desperately...

Star of hits like Inside No. 9, Benidorm, and The League of Gentlemen, Steve Pemberton's CV reads like a "best of" list of modern British comedy.

Also starring the likes of Jessica Plummer, Ashley Walters, Lenny Henry, Mary Malone, Lisa Faulkner, and James Nesbitt, Missing You looks to follow on from the success of the last Netflix-Coben team up Fool Me Once with yet another twisting mystery based on one of the prolific author's best-loved books.

Netflix’s latest dark comedy The Decameron answers the question: How would a group of wealthy people, isolated from the rest of the world due to a pandemic, act? If that premise is sounding eerily relevant to the last few years, it’s no coincidence.

Showrunner Kathleen Jordan was inspired by what the world had experienced during the early days of Covid-19, and by “the concept of examining the slice of life moment of a pandemic.” Loosely based on Giovanni Boccaccio’s short story collection set during the Black Death, Jordan found a way to tell this story to a modern audience.

A jam-packed ensemble cast — including Tony Hale, Zosia Mamet, Saoirse-Monica Jackson, Jessica Plummer and Tanya Reynolds — comes together in an Italian villa in an attempt to wait out the plague. While the concept itself doesn’t immediately read comedy, through Jordan’s unique tone and the acting, the...

The Decameron (2024) on Netflix explores nobles' antics during the Black Death, with a 66% Tomatometer rating on Rotten Tomatoes. A perfect companion film is The Little Hours (2017), with a stacked cast and a focus on physical and line-based comedy. Both projects are based on sections of Giovanni Boccaccio's The Decameron, offering different but complementary plots set in the Middle Ages.

Though The Decameron was released this year in 2024, the shows perfect follow-up film actually came seven years ago. The Decameron is a Netflix original series set in the era of the Black Death, revealing the antics of a group of nobles who seek refuge in a remote countryside location to avoid death by pestilence. The Decamerons cast includes Amar Chadha-Patel, Leila Farzad, Lou Gala, Karan Gill, Tony Hale, Zosia Mamet, Tanya Reynolds, and Jessica Plummer.

The Decamerons reviews on Netflix have been mixed thus far. At the time of writing,...

Reynolds and Plummer play complex characters whose dynamic evolves throughout the series. The show explores class struggles and personal secrets as nobles and servants navigate the bubonic plague.

Currently available to stream on Netflix, The Decameron stars Amar Chadha-Patel, Leila Farzad, Lou Gala, Karan Gill, Tony Hale, Saoirse-Monica Jackson, Zosia Mamet, Douggie McMeekin, Jessica Plummer, and Tanya Reynolds.

Reynolds plays Licisca, who was born into servitude, while Plummer portrays Filomena, a member of the noble family Licisca works for.

Named for the 14th-century work by Giovanni Boccaccio, Netflix's The Decameron tells the story of a group of Italians trying to escape the torments of the bubonic plague. The Decameron on Netflix isn't the streaming service's first foray into the Middle Ages, and it veers from what Boccaccio wrote in many ways. However, there are echoes of truth and honesty in The Decameron that attest to the spirit of its namesake. The Decameron does not recount exactly what happened in Boccaccio's work. Rather, the show adapts the source material to be relevant and eerily familiar to viewers who have their own experiences with life during a pandemic.

Boccaccio's 100 short stories and 10 storytellers are the inspiration for The Decameron's eight episodes.
