It’s on Netflix and it’s a great short mystery series based on a successful novel that can be watched in just one afternoon.
Suspense is one of the genres that arouses the most interest. If we focus on fiction, normally, intrigue series tend to be among the most viewed content because they present plots full of unknowns that lead us to want to devour them in one sitting. If we search within the catalog of Netflix, There is an undisputed king capable of creating stories on paper that reach millions of readers and that in many cases end up on the screen, engaging many viewers. We are talking about the great Harlan Coben, the American writer who sweeps the red ‘N’ platform with each production based on his novels.
Reviewing, we remember ‘Safe’, ‘The Innocent’, starring Mario Casas, or the successful ‘Wiles’, that had as much pull as the one that occupies the top positions at the moment. This is another great Netflix mystery series with so few chapters and such an interesting plot that you will watch it in a single afternoon. It’s the Harlan Coben effect, because once you start one of his stories you can’t stop.
The title that we are going to recommend to you is ‘I miss you’ and it has all the ingredients to generate so many questions that you will constantly search for answers to. The series introduces us to detective Kat Donovan, a woman who faces the investigation for the murder of her father and the disappearance of her future husband. Eleven years after those events, the past knocks on his door again to break his schemes. When he tries to find a partner on a dating app, he finds his ex’s profile and decides to contact him without much success, at first…
This reappearance will make Kat take up the case of her father who, without giving ‘spoilers’, will have a connection with her former boyfriend, one of her best friends and her colleague at the police station. On the other hand, he also has a link with a network that is kidnapping single people to scam them and end their lives. We will not give more details because explaining each connection means spoiling each of the twists that the plot promises and we would ruin the experience. We want you to enjoy it because, without a doubt, it is one of the most addictive series in recent times.
‘I miss you’ It has the unmistakable stamp of all Coben’s stories, in which there are moments when you don’t understand anything until everything makes sense. That is one of the keys to the success of his fictions, which always surprise you. Filmed in Manchester and nearby areas, the series, in which lies and secrets are the main ingredients, stars Rosalind Eleazar, Ravi Multani, Ashley Walters, Catherine Ayers and Richard Armitage Coben’s fetish actor. Although it has received quite lukewarm reviews, we think it is a very entertaining and original proposal. For his part. ‘Variety’ called it “shocking, captivating and revealing from the beginning to the final scene.” It will be difficult not to catch you.
