"Fool Me Once": A Mind-Bending Rollercoaster of Deception and Redemption

-

Based on the novel by Harlan Coben, “Fool Me Once” is an eight-part thriller series that follows the story of Maya, played by Michelle Keegan, who is struggling to hold the pieces of her life together after her husband Joe is shot dead. The show also stars Richard Armitage as Joe, and Joanna Lumley as Joe’s mother Judith.



The plot of the show revolves around Maya’s impulse to find out the truth about her husband’s death and protect herself. The supposedly dead Joe mysteriously appears on nanny-cam footage, hugging his daughter, which leads Maya to investigate the truth behind his death. The show has a lot of potential for intriguing plot twists, but it is not without its flaws.


The plot is convoluted and implausible, and the dialogue can be melodramatic at times. However, the show’s strong performances and the chemistry between the actors make it worth watching. Michelle Keegan delivers a solid performance as Maya, and Richard Armitage’s portrayal of Joe is hauntingly good.

The show’s cinematography is also noteworthy. The use of light and shadow, especially in the scenes where Maya is investigating Joe’s death, creates a sense of unease and tension that keeps the audience engaged.

Overall, “Fool Me Once” is a show that is worth watching if you’re a fan of Harlan Coben’s work or if you’re looking for a mindless thriller to watch. The show’s flaws are outweighed by its strong performances, intriguing plot, and excellent cinematography. Enjoy!

PS- The only thing that is not realistic is how a young, beautiful late 30s lady who has adventure in her blood ends up driving the most ugly, boring, slow, and unreliable car that has ever been built. A Jaguar!!!!

Since the dawn of time, mankind has been searching...searching for something more. Ever since the first homo-sapiens pushed a mammoth over a cliff; feasted on its widely dispersed remains and decided that it was a pretty good meal; we've been on the road to culinary improvement. Much later a German, let's call him Helmut, fried up a bit of mince, slapped it between two buns and changed the course of history. Helmut didn't realise it at the time, but he had just invented the burger. But mankind wasn't satisfied with the burger. No, man is never satisfied.  Since that day we have continued to improve, refine, enhance and augment. We have continued to experiment and explore, to add pickles and fried onions, to push the burger boundaries. As most of my readers know I am fascinated about food but some days I feel like having some less sophisticated stuff and when it comes to burgers(especially if you do have a large appetite) The King Of Homemade hea...
