A new thriller series has quickly become popular on Netflix, reaching the #2 spot within days of its release. It’s currently behind only Stranger Things in the rankings. The show is the twelfth Netflix series created by British author Harlen Coben.
The new show, Run Away, centers on Simon, a man whose life seems ideal – a happy family, successful career, and comfortable home. Everything changes when his oldest daughter, Paige, runs away. The story follows Simon as he searches for Paige and finally finds her struggling with drug addiction in a park, giving him a chance to bring her home. It promises to be a gripping and emotionally powerful series.
According To Reviews, It’s Convoluted Yet Compelling
The show received a mixed reception from critics, earning a 75% score on Rotten Tomatoes, but it didn’t resonate as well with general audiences, who gave it a 48% rating. Archika Khurana of The Times of India noted that while the show isn’t particularly original, strong acting and consistent suspense make it enjoyable for those willing to be patient. Peter Travers echoed this sentiment, describing the plot as complex but praising the series for its fast pace and shocking twist ending.
Viewers had mixed reactions to the show. Some were highly critical, describing it as melodramatic, unrealistic, and poorly filmed, with cheesy characters and dialogue. One viewer bluntly advised others not to waste their time, suggesting it was so unengaging they could easily do other things while watching. However, others enjoyed the suspenseful drama, finding it captivating and even unsettling. One fan of British murder mysteries praised the show for focusing on the plot rather than sensationalism. They particularly appreciated how the story consistently delivered unexpected twists, keeping them guessing until the very end – a refreshing change from typical mysteries where the plot becomes predictable once the killer is revealed.
Despite its flaws, Run Away manages to keep viewers engaged, even if some watch it reluctantly.
