There’s just something addictive about a Harlan Coben series. You press play expecting a familiar mystery, and before you know it, you’re trapped in a web of lies, half-truths, and devastating revelations. His stories usually start small and then explode into something far more unsettling.
You have lives unraveling and trust evaporating. And every episode pushes you closer to the realization that nothing, and no one, is exactly what they seem. It’s this relentless pull that has turned Coben into one of Netflix’s most dependable masters of the binge-worthy thriller.
Now, with I Will Find You on the horizon, anticipation is running high. Centering around a desperate father wrongly convicted of murdering his own son, this upcoming Coben series will be released on Netflix sometime this year. That said, now is the perfect time to revisit some of Coben’s strongest Netflix shows while you wait. Below, we’ve put together a good list of three of his series for you to check out!
