The Harlan Coben Cinematic Universe

[Deck Rickard]

Any other fans of the various Harlan Coben shows out there? I’ve seen The Five, Safe, The Stranger and just finished Stay Close. All of them are pretty good (with some being great) and typically revolve around buried secrets coming to light.

I would probably say that The Five is my favorite so far; great characters, intriguing mystery and a really emotional ending. Stay Close, while very good, is probably the weakest due to a pair of Batman villains that show up halfway through and damn near derail the entire thing with their idiotic shenanigans (imagine if the Joker and Harley were a pair of failed musical theatre actors and you would have these two).

Anyway, just thought I would see who else tends to add anything Harlan Coben to their Netflix Watchlist.

I've watched The Stranger which I enjoyed and 'The Innocent'. I tried to watch 'Stay Close' but I could not get past the 1st episode.

Couldn’t get into it, eh? I would say it’s one of his weaker ones but I’ll give anything with Richard Armitage and James Nesbitt a chance. I also fell in love with Cush Jumbo in it. But The Stranger, Safe and The Five we’re all definitely better.

I need to check out The Innocent.
