I don't often write reviews, but this series was so exceptionally poor that I feel compelled to do so. The name Harlan Coben must be a pseudonym for an elementary school writing class, given the abundance of amateurish clichés and sloppy writing throughout the series:
In summary, this series is so bad that it might just become a cult classic.
- The main detective has lost his wife and is now getting remarried to his pregnant fiancée.
- There is a minutes-long closing rant where the plot is explained in painstaking detail through dialogue. This scene serves as prime educational material for every film school on what not to do. To save your precious time, I recommend avoiding this series entirely. However, if you're forced to watch it, you can simply view the last five minutes of the final episode to get the gist.
- The pinnacle of desperation in an attempt to salvage this subpar series comes in the very last episode, with the introduction of a newborn named Maya, after her martyred mother. This could be the most forced attempt in the history of miniseries to evoke emotion, playing on the sentimentality associated with newborns and their inherent ability to awe viewers.
In summary, this series is so bad that it might just become a cult classic.
