Ugh, I'm so torn about Harlan Coben's TV adaptations 
... I loved "Shelter" tho, it was like a masterclass in suspenseful storytelling 
! But then you got shows like "Lazarus" that just fell flat 
. Prime Video really dropped the ball on that one. And don't even get me started on "Missing You", it was like they took all these cool ideas and just phoned them in 
... meanwhile, shows like "Stay Close" are just pure perfection 
! The way they wove together the characters and plotlines was just genius 
. And I'm still not over Jennifer Saunders' character's demise in "The Stranger", what a twist 
! Overall, it's all about the highs and lows, but you can't deny Coben's got some serious writing chops

. The Netflix adaptations that worked for me were definitely Shelter and Stay Close - both had great writing, acting, and pacing. But then there was Lazarus... 
what happened? Did the showrunners try to expand on his universe but just didn't quite nail it? And Missing You... yeah I can see why some people would be confused about that plot 
. The Stranger was a bit of a letdown for me, with some plot holes and pacing issues
