Netflix viewers praise Michelle Keegan after binge-watching new thriller Fool Me Once

Michelle Keegan is the woman of the moment

She stars as Maya, who is coping with the death of her husband.

However, the tale takes a turn once he later shows up on her toddler's nanny cam, and she realises that things aren't quite as they seem.

With the rest of the cast including Richard Armitage, Joanna Lumley, Fool Me Once is based on the Harlan Coben book of the same name.

The series synopsis reads: "Detective Sergeant Sami Kierce (Adeel Akhtar) leads the homicide investigation into Joe's death while grappling with secrets of his own.

"Meanwhile, Maya's niece and nephew, Abby and Daniel, are trying to find the truth about their mother's murder, several months earlier. Are the two cases connected?

"Fool Me Once follows these characters on a thrilling hunt for the truth that will reveal shocking secrets and change their lives forever."

Viewers are teased with the prospect that Joe had "stumbled upon something big" before his death, and it's fair to say our curiosity has been piqued.
