If we’ve had a flurry of Squid Game this week, there’s another series doing well on Netflix. It’s called I Miss You and it’s currently number two in the weekly top 10.
An expected success from the platform, since it is an adaptation of Harlan Coben’s novel, which is still popular among subscribers, and whose synopsis is here:
Eleven years ago, Detective Kat Donovan’s fiance Josh—the love of her life—disappeared and she hasn’t been heard from since. Today, while looking through profiles on a dating app, Cathy’s world comes crashing down again when she sees his face on one of the accounts.
Josh’s reappearance forces him to delve deeper into the mystery of his father’s murder and uncover long-buried secrets in his past.
A year after the phenomenal success of Double Trap – another Harlan Coben production – Netflix is hoping to repeat the success. It must be said that the two series have a lot in common: a heroine in search of answers, a lot of revelations and an ending that settles the cards. And I miss you, this ending literally made the American author cry.
Currently averaging 3.6 out of 5 – but with very few ratings – the series, directed by Rosalind Eleazar and Richard Armitage, seems to be a hit with viewers who praise its short format (5 episodes only 45 minutes), its friendly plot and its stunning pace. until the last minute…
“Good mini-series, lots of suspense until the end. At least there’s an ending.” (Soleane31)
An ending that sparks debate
If we take a closer look at what is written about you on social networks, we will quickly realize that this is one of the series whose end course is considered (for a very specific reason, which we will keep quiet here).
But the advantage of the Harlan Coben collection on Netflix is that it only consists of mini-series. In other words, the subscriber knows the end of the story at the end of the last episode. A way to satisfy the audience and not drag out the suspense too much. I miss you is still different from the previous adaptations because the twist at the end is loaded with emotions…
