Fool Me Once (2024)
Cult classic
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:
- 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.

Season 2 was great
Casting for the season 2 was great - there was great mixture of creativity from various fields. Every episode provided good entertainment and many of the tasks were also pretty clever. This kind of feel-good shows we definitely need more in the mainstream TV.

One of the worst movies I have ever seen.
The idea is very promising - the reason why I watched this. But I made the horrible mistake not to check the IMDB rating beforehand.
The acting is kinda decent but they can't save this junior high school quality script. At high school this would be adorable and cute play, but now when they try to make it as a credible film the result is way worse than The Room. Sadly this waste of time can't even become that kind of cult classic.
