Everyone has gone crazy for Harlan Coben’s newest Netflix drama Fool Me Once starring the amazing Michelle Keegan. But, after bingeing the series, everyone has been left asking the same question! If you’ve not watched it yet, be aware this article contains spoilers.
The Netflix crime thriller is currently number one on Netflix after dropping on new year’s day and has a stella cast including Joe Burkett as Richard Armitage, Dame Joanna Lumley from Absolutely Fabulous, Adeel Akhtar from Sherwood, Emmett J Scanlan from Peaky Blinders, and Dino Fetscher from Paranoid.
Maya Starn, a former special ops pilot who grapples with the tragic murder of her husband. The plot takes a turn when she observes, via the nanny cam, a familiar face in her home—her supposedly deceased husband playing with their baby daughter. Adeel Akhtar’s character, Detective Sergeant Sami Kierce, spearheads the investigation into Joe’s death while wrestling with his own hidden truths.
If you didn’t spot, parts of the show were filmed in Yorkshire, and in across the series Keegan’s character uncovers a deadly conspiracy that spans decades.

After watching the whole series people were left baffled by one plot hole. Maya’s friend and military officer Shane kept putting trackers on her car – very suspicious indeed. He was also seen standing outside her house. And – many people had the same question about his character.
One Redditor summed up people’s feelings about the character writing: “What was Shane’s character for? I get that he was her friend from the military but was it him that was stalking her at her house and tracking her car etc? Was he obsessed with her? In love with her? He was under developed and I was convinced he was dodgy as soon as he came on the screen but he turned out to be a nice guy and a loyal friend to Maya.”
Writer of the novel Harlan Coben took to X to explain the suspicious character: “Spoiler: You’re military police. Your best friend suffers PTSD. She is taking medication, lying to you, lost two close family members to murders, has you test a bullet — and says she’s seeing her dead husband.
“You might want to (track) keep an eye on her and her little girl…”
So, there you have it. He was just being a good friend – and we were all there blaming him for murders and worse. If you’ve not watched the Netflix crime thriller Fool Me Once, make sure you give it a watch.
