The new eight-part series<\/a> has already been binge-watched by many, rocketing to the number one spot on the streamer and becoming much talked about for its many twists and turns<\/a>.<\/p>\n It follows Michelle Keegan as Maya Stern<\/a>, a former military helicopter pilot who is struggling in the wake of her husband Joe\u2019s death.<\/p>\n But when her friend gifts her a discreet nanny cam to keep an eye on her daughter while she\u2019s away, Maya gets the shock of her life when she sees Joe.<\/p>\n As well as an ongoing murder investigation into Joe\u2019s death, over the course of the eight episodes, we learn more about Maya\u2019s own past, her family, the death of her sister and more. Like we said, many a twist in store for viewers.<\/p> Alongside Keegan, Richard Armitage<\/a> returns to the Harlan Coben universe as Joe in Fool Me Once, in what is his third appearance in a Coben series \u2013 but this time in a slightly more reduced role as a supposedly dead husband.<\/p>\n Well, despite this, Coben assures us that he thinks the performance is actually one of Armitage\u2019s best in any of his shows.<\/p>\n Chatting exclusively to RadioTimes.com<\/a>, Coben said: \u201cIt\u2019s become a thing now that this is the third time that Richard\u2019s worked with us, it\u2019s become kind of a fun thing, but we\u2019re really conscious of it not being a device or for the sake of doing it.<\/p>\n \u201cIt only works if we can find a role for Richard that\u2019s going to be\u2026 I don\u2019t like when I watch a show and I see the same actor, and so I\u2019m thinking of him in the other role. So if you thought as you\u2019re watching him, \u2018Oh that\u2019s Adam Price from The Stranger,\u2019 it wouldn\u2019t work.\u201d<\/p>\n He continued: \u201cBut Richard\u2019s such a terrific actor, and the roles he\u2019s playing on these shows are so different, the three he\u2019s now played on Stay Close, The Stranger and now Fool Me Once. I think it works.<\/p>\n \u201cThis might be, even though it\u2019s his smallest role in terms of screen time, it might be his best job. He\u2019s really good, that last episode, without giving anything away, the scene in the park is just great.<\/p>\n \u201cI was like, \u2018Richard, you\u2019re going somewhere on that,\u2019 but he\u2019s such a hard-working actor, we\u2019ve all become friends with him, but that\u2019s sort of what we do.\u201d<\/p>\n Coben added: \u201cWe want to make sure it\u2019s not being cute, having him on in a cameo or whatever. The universe of our shows really loves Richard, he\u2019s got a great fan following that loves him.\u201d<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n Fans of Harlan Coben book will know there\u2019s plenty to find out about the characters as the episodes unfold, but Armitage had previously revealed to RadioTimes.com<\/strong> and other press at a screening that he isn\u2019t as \u201cself-assured<\/a>\u201d as his Fool Me Once character.<\/p>\n He said: \u201cSeeing that level of wealth, which is often accompanied with extreme power, the kind of education he would\u2019ve had \u2013 what does that do to a person in terms of his entitlement and self-assuredness?<\/p>\n \u201cYou see a glimpse of it in the first scene, when they get together [\u2026] In reality, someone like him would\u2019ve gone up to somebody like her at a party and said, \u2018I am buying you a drink and we\u2019re then going to get married.\u2019 That kind of self-assuredness, which I don\u2019t carry at all.\u201d<\/p> ![\"Richard](\"https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2024\/01\/fool-me-once-richard-armitage-camera-e901580.jpg?quality=90&resize=620%2C413\" "\\"fool-me-once-richard-armitage-camera\\"\/")
