Harlan Coben\u2019s Fool Me Once<\/a> is the Netflix<\/a> series that has dominated the rankings since it landed, having only recently been knocked off the top spot by new true crime documentary American Nightmare<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, the thriller remains a firm favourite among fans who have been gripped by its twisty, turn-y plotline led by a cast<\/a> that includes Michelle Keegan, Richard Armitage, Joanna Lumley and Adeel Akhtar.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s safe to say that the drama has proven popular, and recently-released Netflix figures have put the scale of the series\u2019s success into perspective against another streamer hit.<\/p>\n

According to Netflix (via Shortlist<\/a>), Fool Me Once was watched for a total of 238 million hours from 1st to 7th January.<\/p>\n

The staggering stats mean it\u2019s given Netflix a bigger one week haul than any other show in 2023, including hit series The Night Agent<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Based on a novel by Matthew Quirk<\/a>, the first season of The Night Agent starred Gabriel Basso as FBI agent Peter Sutherland and quickly skyrocketed up the rankings, achieving its peak in its second week of release with 216 million hours viewed.<\/p>\n

The political thriller was subsequently renewed for season 2<\/a>, and is set to bring a further 10 episodes to fans.<\/p>\n

The last time a show on the streamer performed this well was with Wednesday<\/a>, which premiered back in November 2022.<\/p>\n

The Jenna Ortega-led series racked up 341 million hours in its first week, and then 411 million hours in its second, becoming Netflix\u2019s most successful series.<\/p>

But Fool Me Once has clearly won over the masses, with a storyline centred on Maya Stern (Keegan), who is left reeling when she sees her dead husband on her \u2018nanny cam\u2019.<\/p>\n

What soon ensues is an investigation into her husband\u2019s death, with secrets and lies being revealed about those around Maya.<\/p>\n

The eight-parter still retains a spot in Netflix UK\u2019s top 10, with fans calling for more \u2013 and it looks as though there are further Harlan Coben series in the pipeline.<\/p>\n
