Bestselling author Harlan Coben signed a five-year deal with Netflix in 2018, which will see 14 of his books adapted for the small screen. This eight-part series focuses on dark secrets and three people who, despite living comfortable lives, are not entirely happy with their lot. With James Nesbitt.

Maggie Gyllenhaal directs this psychological drama based on a novel by Elena Ferrante. Olivia Colman plays Leda, a 40-something academic who, while holidaying in Greece, becomes increasingly obsessed with a mob-connected family. Kerry star Jessie Buckley is impressive as the younger version of Colman's character. Dakota Johnson, Ed Harris, Paul Mescal and Peter Sarsgaard, co-star.
