WARNING: Semi-spoilers ahead!

Netflix and mystery author Harlan Coben have teamed up again to bring fans another binge-worthy thriller series: Stay Close.

Stay Close is based on Harlan's 2012 bestselling psychological thriller novel of the same name.

It follows Megan Pierce (played by Cush Jumbo) — a woman seemingly living a picture-perfect life with her fiancé, Dave, and their three children.

Well, her quintessential world comes crashing down when Lorraine, a friend from her past, comes back to remind Megan of the wild life she left behind.

And when I say things did a complete 180 for Megan, I mean things IMMEDIATELY started spiraling out of control — like getting caught up in a murder investigation.

Oh, and that murder I mentioned? Yeah, that was just one of many killings happening in the area.

But the suspense doesn't stop there! Then, the show throws in a bunch of characters we aren't sure we should trust, like these happy-go-lucky theater kids with a dark side...

...and an ex-lover named Ray (played by Richard Armitage) who's still desperately obsessed with Megan.

By the end of each episode, you'll be questioning everything and trusting NO ONE!

But don't just take my word for it. Here's what people on Twitter are saying about it:

Hazeleyed Queen @eyeslikebadu I just finished #StayClose and I have 2 takeaways: 1. The police don't need to dangerously chase suspects and brutalize the public OR the accused in civilized countries. 2. They can make a riveting show without graphic sex scenes and constant swearing. 10/10 #StayClosenetflix 06:46 AM - 12 Jan 2022 Reply Retweet Favorite Twitter: @eyeslikebadu

The Gaeorzian Alliance @_Xander_Walker Stay Close on Netflix is everything I love in a show wrapped into one. British accents. Badass Black female lead. Some queer shit. Hella mystery and intrigue. 03:46 PM - 18 Jan 2022 Reply Retweet Favorite Twitter: @_Xander_Walker

William St Lucia @WilliamStLucia1 I just finished watching the series #StayClosenetflix.. I'm not going to leave any spoiler alerts but it's the best murder mystery I have watched since the beginning of this pandemic and you can trust and believe I've watched everything on Netflix worth watching 10 Stars 03:52 PM - 15 Jan 2022 Reply Retweet Favorite Twitter: @WilliamStLucia1

And if you're looking for more suspense, check out Harlan Coben's other shows on Netflix: The Stranger, The Five, Safe, The Woods, The Innocent, and Gone for Good.
