    I watched it. I have seen a few of the Coban adoptions, mostly the UK based ones. The first few were decent but the last few lately seem to err on the too changed or too trying to ‘stand out’ problem. They can’t seem to scale them up.

    This one I couldn’t quite gel with the characters, they were a bit autonomous and the lead guy too action man for the role. I’d expect a more tourtured soul. The story was lost, hidden behind dashing from location to location, the whole thing felt beige.

    I don’t know how to describe it but it reminded me of the night agent. Overall it’s rated background watching only

    Interesting. Most Harlan Coben series are poorly written but have good production values. Maybe this will be an exception!
