If you're looking for a new Netflix series to binge-watch, then look no further.

Yes, it looks as though 2024 may have already peaked when it comes to TV, because fans have been taking to social media to rave about Netflix's latest offering, Fool Me Once.

The new limited series tells the story of a newly single mom (Michelle Keegan), whose world is rocked following the murder of her husband (Richard Armitage). However, after she sees him playing with their daughter on their nanny cam, she is forced to question the truth behind her husband's death and who was involved.

The gripping psychological drama was created by Danny Brocklehurst and is based on the novel of the same name by Harlan Coben, who describes the story as "a pulse pounder — a shocking story of how secrets and deceit have the power to bring people together while simultaneously tearing them apart."
