For almost a week now, I’ve been missing Netflix subscribers on hold. The new series, adapted from Harlan Coben’s bibliography, takes the second place in the top 10 after Squid Game and does not intend to move from there.
In the form of a police investigation, this thriller captivated subscribers following the investigation of Inspector Kat Donovan. Eleven years ago, her fiancé Josh—the love of her life—disappeared and she hasn’t been heard from since.
Today, while browsing 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.
You don’t need to look for it…
British actress Ashley Walters was chosen to portray this male character. And at the age of 42, this resident of the London suburb of Peckham has already lived many lives. While he got his start in film, notably in The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles and Grange Hill, it was on television that he found his greatest success.
In 2011, he starred in the English series Top Boy, which takes us to a neighborhood of East London in the daily life of several young people involved in drug trafficking and gangs. After arriving on Netflix in France in 2023, it quickly found its audience thanks to its dark and violent atmosphere and the interpretation of its actors. In all three seasons, Walters portrays Dushan Hill, one of the bosses who runs a thriving business. Viewers gave it a very good rating of 4.1 out of 5.

The series, also hosted by Stephen Graham, follows the daily lives of the Miller family, whose lives are turned upside down when their son, Jamie, 13, is arrested and accused of murdering a girl at his school. No release date has been announced yet, but we can expect a great future.
Walters will also step behind the camera for a rival project. He directs an episode of Stephen Knight’s (Peaky Blinders) series A Thousand Blows, where he will reunite with Stephen Graham. The action will take place during the post-industrial revolution, in the East End of London, and will immerse us in the world of boxing…
