The reviews land in the middle, and most critics agree on why: this is another Harlan Coben adaptation that is silly, preposterous and hard to stop watching. The praise clusters on pace and cast. Nearly everyone credits the speed of the plotting for carrying viewers past the nonsense, and several single out Chi McBride and Logan Browning as bickering FBI partners who are the best thing in it; Radio Times suggests they could carry a spin-off. Sam Worthington is judged a sound action lead, and The i Paper credits him and Britt Lower with sincere performances that make the nonsense watchable. The reservations cluster on the twists. Critics count plot holes, red herrings, clunky exposition and reveals that strain belief; The Telegraph finds one reveal the stupidest it can remember. The spread is wide, from Variety’s outright enthusiasm to The Independent finding it awful yet irresistible. The AV Club and Digital Spy dissent further, finding it flat and skippable rather than addictive. ## Variety — Aramide Tinubu Fi1m's normalised score 85/100 (inferred from the text). 18 June 2026. The critic says it knocks it out of the park as another wild and fun Harlan Coben crime thriller, a gripping immersive tale of parental love, loss and obsession.

The critic calls it a fast-paced, throwaway conspiracy thriller that knows exactly what it is and moves briskly enough to keep viewers hooked despite the silliness. They single out the bickering FBI partners Chi McBride and Logan Browning as the standout MVPs who could anchor a spin-off.

The critic calls it classic small-screen Harlan Coben: maddeningly watchable crap with bells on. The script is made of Play-Doh and the protagonists are flaps of luncheon meat, yet the reviewer keeps watching to the end despite the red herrings, plot holes and preposterous twists.

The critic finds it rubbish yet addictive, a formulaic and preposterous Netflix thriller full of cliffhangers, rug pulls and the stupidest plot reveal in living memory. Worthington is the right action-hero lead and the red herrings keep viewers hooked through all eight episodes.

The critic describes it as a disposable, wheel-spinning pulpy thriller built for distracted viewing, with repetition and illogical resolutions but generally watchable thanks to a top-notch cast. They single out the bickering law enforcement procedural subplot featuring Chi McBride and Logan Browning as the best element.

The critic calls the show ridiculous and designed for second-screen viewing, with contrived plotting, one-dimensional characters, and stiff performances that make it an inorganic mess.

The critic calls it irredeemably awful, an overcranked feast of absolute nonsense with ludicrous twists, DNA swapping, Swiss orphans and mad accents that turns the brain to soup. It is also completely irresistible in its bombardment of plot and thinly sketched characters.

They single out the well-executed twists and cliffhangers that feel satisfying without cheap tricks as a highlight.

The critic calls the latest Harlan Coben adaptation more of the ludicrous same, with a mountain of plot holes and a rollicking but silly pace that works best if viewers switch their brains off.
