Detective Kat Donovan’s world unravels when she finds her estranged fiancé on a dating app. Set to re-discover her father’s unsolved murder. This will be the fourth adaptation of Harlan Coben’s novel, starring Richard Armitage. Here’s a proofread and improved version of your update: I just watched all five episodes. I wasn’t really feeling it in the second episode, but I decided to see it through to the end. Coen adaptations seem to follow a pattern of mostly unrelated or overly complicated story threads that all come together neatly in the final episode. While the previous ones have been pretty good, this one felt very weak by comparison. There wasn’t much plot to this one, and all the “aha” moments were squeezed into the last episode, which is typical of Coen from what I’ve seen. The acting was good, and the characters weren’t terrible, but the story just wasn’t compelling or engaging. It felt more like it just had to get to the end. I wouldn’t say don’t watch it, but if you have other options, I would definitely put them before this one. Let me know if there’s anything you’d like to tweak even more! "The Layoffs" Season 2 is one of the biggest TV and streaming premieres this month. Check out our January calendar for more!
