Netflix quietly drops all 6 episodes of new Argentinian Harlan Coben thriller
You can't go wrong with a Harlan Coben thriller.
Netflix has just dropped its 11th TV series from Harlan Coben, so ready yourself for your next binge-watch.
Caught is the first ever Argentinian adaptation of the prolific thriller writer’s novels and comes just weeks after the release of his last Netflix offering, Missing You.
This time, the crime drama centres on Ema Garay (Soledad Villamil), a renowned journalist known for exposing criminals who manage to evade justice.
However, her life takes an unexpected turn when respected figure Leo Mercer (Juan Minujín) becomes the prime suspect in her investigation into the disappearance of a 16-year-old girl.
Caught is one of the 14 Harlan Coben books being adapted for Netflix as part of the multi-million-pound mega deal he agreed with the streamer in 2018.

Despite frequently storming the global top ten charts on Netflix, Coben’s adaptations typically receive a mixed reaction from viewers and critics, with The I previously branding Fool Me Once ‘junk food television.’
Rosalind Eleazar, who starred in this year’s Missing You, previously shared her response to the Coben backlash to Metro, saying that his shows have a ‘particular USP’ that viewers appreciate.
She said: ‘The thing is with reviews, everyone has an opinion. With these shows, what’s interesting is that if there are bad reviews, the figures say something very different.

‘They absolutely love these shows because he’s a genius at twists and turns and taking audiences down wrong roads. It’s a genre that people have loved since the dawn of time.
Indeed, Fool Me Once – set in the aftermath of the brutal murder of ex-Army Officer Maya’s (Michelle Keegan) husband Joe (Richard Armitage) – went down a storm with viewers.
After getting ‘hooked’ on the thriller, fans flocked to X to joke they were going to call into work sick to watch the remaining episodes.

I am HOOKED. @michkeegan is just brilliant.’
Echoing Michelle’s sentiment, Jennifer Smith enthused: ‘@HarlanCoben I am supposed to go back to work tomorrow after this holiday break but I can’t stop watching #FoolMeOnce. Back to being sleep deprived I go.’
Angela Bennion remarked: ‘Binged, done. Absolutely fantastic storyline but #thisgirl @michkeegan is another level. On the edge of my sofa all day #FoolMeOnce #superstar x.’
