It’s becoming something of a tradition to bring in the new year with a deeply silly series from Harlan Coben, whose partnership with Netflix continues to bear fruit that may well choke you if you’re not careful. The latest is Missing You, a five-part thriller that is both as daft and easily bingeable as 2024’s Fool Me Once, though mercifully briefer. I say “mercifully” not because Missing You is bad – on the contrary, it’s engaging and pacey throughout and ends up yielding decent answers to its many questions if you put the time in – but because it’d definitely fall apart if you had too long to think about it. This seems to be true of everything with Coben’s name on it, such as Stay Close and The Innocent, but you shouldn’t let it be too much of an obstacle to your holiday entertainment.
