new netflix series harlan cobens run away is already the most unhinged a...
While it might look evenly split, the narrative niggles in Harlan Coben's Run Away are really just nitpicking. Not only is the eight-episode ride wildly unhinged, but it's unguessable – and that's the biggest prize of all.
Pros
- Incredibly enjoyable to watch
- Guaranteed that you won't have figured it out by episode 8
- An astonishing final twist
- Stalwart British cast is right at home in a crime procedural
- More Ruth Jones in serious roles, please
- Harlan Coben truly never misses
Cons
- Suspension of belief required is through the roof
- Not everything plot point is explained, which can be frustrating
- Some of the names are questionable, but that's Coben's fault
- Formulaic, so make your peace with that
