Intense, compressed storytelling, crackling with twists and turns... Go to Full Review

3/5
Character depth is created by harried reactions, the mood is uniformly ominous. It's not subtle, but it can be effective. Go to Full Review

The series is superficial trash, yes, but lovingly polished trash. I couldn't stop watching. Go to Full Review
Dustin Rowles Pajiba 01/19/2022
I’ll also say that I didn’t see the twist coming, which I suppose makes Stay Close a successful Coben series. Go to Full Review

David Curtis Z @Glaiven Feb 19 What a completely ridiculous train wreck of a series featuring one dimensional characters, all of Corben’s work is sensationalist melodrama but they at least have interesting plot lines. These characters are as cartoonish and predictable as the Broadway Barbie and Ken, so cringe. Like dude we get it you wanna talk to Cassie shut the f up See more Nissa S. @NFS247 Feb 2 I have watched every single Harlan Coben series on Netflix and Amazon and this one is one of the best. Super twisted plot as usual, missing people and secret past lives..... a shocking insane story. Loved it. See more Paula M @Pwrm21 Jan 8 I'm on episode 6/8 and I don't think I can finish. The story is beyond stupid. Acting is good. See more Jake L @goslow Dec 21 I'm about 2 1/2 episodes into "Stay Close" and came to Rotten Tomatoes to see if anyone liked it. Gosh, those sophisticated critics! - I'll stick with us everyday guys and move on to something better - Coben's work really hit a low on this one - did he use a committee of coin-tossers to see where he'd take the plot next? Rarely believable, sometimes slipping off into sci-fi-ish fantasy, double lives, and on... Geez, it had me working too hard, not so much following it, but always asking, "Really???" See more Ju M @Jumak Dec 13 I've seen various Netflix series of Harlan Coben and they were all good. However the story of this one is extremely bad. It is so unrealistic, with totally weird story changes and some strange characters. See more Jim H @JimHawkins Sep 4 Here's the thing. So many show to see. So little time. I gave Stay Close 15 minutes. 1. Boring, close to falling asleep. 2. the camera is the worst. Looks like the show was shot on an iPhone. 3. the actors - what? Boring, lazy casting. 4. I stoped watching after 15 Minutes. See more Read all reviews
