It's a hard act to follow, following yesterday's glowing review for Apple TV+'s H/JACK.
While it might not feel like Summer this week, it sure did this time last week. This series will see us all the way till December 31st. Next year I will roll out a series each quarter, as let's be honest all the seasons are kinda fucked up.
So onto, Harlan Coben's Shelter for your Tuesday.
Starring Jaden Michael, Constance Zimmer (UnREAL) and Abby Corrigan, this is based on the 2011 novel Shelter by Harlan Coben.
Landing on Amazon Prime Video on mid-August, concluding last Friday. So I was late to the party, then caught up to watch the finale last Friday afternoon. Here is a brief summary of the show ahead of the trailer.
After his father's sudden death, Mickey Bolitar starts a new life in Kasselton, New Jersey, where he becomes entangled in the mysterious disappearance of Ashley Kent, a student at his school, leading him to discover a dark underworld in the quiet suburban community.
Amazon Prime Video have delivered over recent months giving us the number one series over my LONG winter series, Deadloch.
I thought this had miniseries vibes, however there is no word on a second series or it ending at this point. I enjoyed the first episode. It had me hooked and shook. However it lost pace over the eight episode first run.
It became a little like every other high school, mystery series. But better than Riverdale. Not that that's a high bar these days.
So with the writers strike looking like reaching a resolution we will soon be spoilt for choice again. That is of course if the actors get the deal they are after too. Me thinks though that US network TV will look a lot different moving forward. Also streaming may also need to look at cutting costs. With streamers like Amazon Prime Video heavily invested in expensive series like Lord of the Rings and HBO with House of Dragon.
So if you enjoyed Constance Zimmer in UnREAL, I'd recommend this. She is the MVP in this little series.
