Steve G The horrible acting and cheesy dialogue distracted from any mystery. By far the worst of Coben’s shows. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/24/24 Full Review Michael T The dialogue it's just a little to shallow and fake. It's hard to believe that these kids are real. Just a bit too overwritten.

Poor screen play and writing of the story Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/27/24 Full Review Conrad C It wasn't what they left out that rubbed me wrong, it was what they added in. When you squeeze three books into one eight-episode show, things are bound to be left out. Shelter skillfully chips off pieces without you even realizing it, but keeping all the essential plotlines. What is beyond me, though, is the fabricating of my least-favorite plot line from thin air, and proceeding to spend a disproportionate amount of time on it. The main trio did a fantastic job of acting, with Adrian Greensmith proving himself charismatic and charming as Spoon. If the show stuck to just editing the original material instead of adding things in, this could've been elevated to a truly memorable adaption. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/24 Full Review Sunday Night Streaming o Harlan Coben's Shelter Season 1 - 7.5 - This show proved to be a delightful surprise in the world of television. Sure, it might wear its quirkiness on its sleeve with characters like Bat Lady, Sunglasses Man, Octoface, and Spoon, but once you embrace the eccentricity, you're in for a captivating story with an exceptional cast. The chemistry between Mickey, Ema, Spoon, and Rachel is the beating heart of the show. The plot is a rollercoaster of twists, turns, and misdirection's, keeping you hooked from episode to episode. What sets this show apart is its commitment to tying up loose ends, offering satisfying resolutions to every lingering question. The one puzzle that nags at me is why Ashley is relentlessly pursued by child kidnappers. The show didn't quite provide a satistactory answer, leaving me curious and intrigued. The Spoon-Ema kiss, always brought up in quintessential Spoon style, adds a delightful layer of complexity. For a teen drama, 'Shelter' tackles weighty topics, like the Abeola storyline, adding depth to the narrative. The seamless integration of history with suspense and drama is commendable. Although I haven't read the book, the adaptation to television was executed brilliantly. Here's to hoping for more from this series. I'll eagerly tune in for a second season, should it come to pass.
