Fool Me Once - Netflix

[anonymous-user]

What started off with promise turned into a convoluted mess of contrived coincidences and dead-end plot lines, along with some pointless diversity boxes ticked, none of which added anything to the story.

Michelle Keegan plays… Michelle Keegan, as the PTSD-ravaged heroine, but you wouldn’t guess it. Her acting range is narrower than her eyebrows.

No spoilers, but I feel like a fool for wasting hours of my life just to see how it panned out. The answer is; predictably.

My wife was watching the first episodes last night, was a bit painful for me to watch. The highlight was when I looked up and recognised Barton airfield. Spent a few too many overnights there….

[Gingerbiker67]

By way of contrast, found it predictable and enjoyable in equal measure!

[DSLiverpool]

Michelle just isn’t believable in the role.

[ashleyman]

Loved it. Just disappointed they reused the same locations as The Stranger series.

[Triumph Man]

On episode 6 now - quite a few twists and turns but I think the coppers illness is a plot line too far..

[okgo]

Total st.

Maybe even worse than st.

Both my wife and I felt there was a potentially good story behind it, but it was directed badly and translated from an American story into a British one quite poorly. Especially around the topics of gun ownership and big pharma.

Michelle Keegan was so unconvincing in the role. Some skinny bird threatening blokes twice her size, and pulling an apache trigger with immaculately manicured nails whilst in a full on war zone!

The dude playing keirce was painful to watch. Not to mention Keirce as a character was weak.

[HIAO]

I watched it and was surprised that they misdescribed a regular Range Rover as an Evoque.

It was a bit bland to watch, but I started, so I finished.

We are on EP3 and I’m finding it farcical but Mrs seems to be enjoying it.

[phil-sti]

Pile of steaming cack only saved by how fit Michelle Keegan is.

[Puzzles]

On ep 7 atm. I was hoping for a strong ending.

[Puzzles]

To make up for the start and middle.

[ghost83]

I actually enjoyed it,

Thought it was good

Not gonna post spoilers though

[Wish]

That helmet she worn in the helicopter. lol

She was in way over her head, and didn’t fit right in the grand scheme of things. Liked the 2 coppers.

I also guessed the ending that pissed the wife off.

[Tom1312]

Absolutely dreadful.

Even by Harlen Coben standards, insisting on setting it in the UK doesn't help either.

Anyone know why the BMW badges were removed from any BMW shown in the show?
Might have happened to other marques too but really only noticed it on the detectives car

[Puzzles]

I’m guessing they didn’t pay unlike JLR.


Thought I saw a bmw badge on a steering wheel, but might be wrong.

No idea but I also wondered why filmmakers seem to have a habit of having unrealistic engine noises that just don't suit the scene or the car.

[Scottie - NW]

Watched it all and wasn’t as good as some of the other HC on Netflix.

No idea who Keegan is never seen her in anything previous, didn’t think she was great but a lot weren’t.
