Binge-worthy shows on Netflix: January 2022

When the weather turns cold, there’s nothing like curling up on the sofa with a warm blanket and letting your mind get lost in someone else’s story. My husband and I love to find a show on Netflix that is so suspenseful that we want to watch one episode after another.

Lately, we’ve found two of them — both based on novels by mystery/suspense writer Harlan Coben. I wouldn’t call either one of them kid-friendly, so save it for when kids are out of the room. But both will appeal to women and men, and both will keep you guessing “who did it?” until the last episode.

These would also be good choices to watch while you’re on the treadmill or stationary bike, since you’ll be busy watching the screen instead of the time tick by.
