The Innocent
Fans of crime-writer extraordinaire Harlan Coben will be pleased to know that, following the success of The Stranger, Safe and The Woods, here comes another twisty Netflix thriller devised by the author. This one is an adaptation of his 2005 novel of the same name, that switches the setting from New Jersey to Spain. One night, Mateo (Mario Casas), intervenes in a fight and winds up a killer. Now, nine years later, he’s trying to start from scratch, but is taking nothing for granted with his wife Olivia (Aura Garrido).
With Olivia pregnant, the two of them are about to get the house of their dreams. But a shocking call from Olivia’s phone while she’s on a business trip unsettles Matt, beginning a race to discover the truth. His innocence will be questioned again, this time by Lorena (Alexandra Jiménez), a police inspector investigating a suicide case. Watch the trailer here. Premieres 30 April on Netflix.
