During this past weekend, as people across the mid-west, south, and north waited on the storm with anticipation and dread, I caught up on my streaming and thought I'd share some recent finds. I'm a huge fan of mystery and crime so it will be no surprise that many of my suggestions fall into that category.

If you've ever read author Harlan Coben, three of his novels have been made into series and I have now become a fan-based on these very well done productions.  "Safe", stars Michael C. Hall (Dexter) in the lead role.  "The Stranger" is next in the series followed by "Stay Close". These each run about 8 episodes.

The acting is top-notch and plot twists abound. I had never read Harlan Coben before, so all of these were totally fresh for me. If you're a fan of his work, you may pick these apart as we often do when a tv or film adaptation of a book can never live up to the text. Anxious to hear feedback once you've checked these out. None of these 3 are related so you can watch them in any order. They are listed here in the order they were released on Netflix.

SAFE

The Stranger

Stay Close
