Netflix's "Fool Me Once" is the latest mystery thriller from the mind of writer Harlan Coben, who previously collaborated with the streamer on other shows like "Safe," "The Stranger," and "Stay Close."
The 2024 series follows ex-soldier Maya Stern (Michelle Keegan). When the show picks up, Maya is having a very bad time. She's dealing with guilt over killing civilians during her deployment and also just saw her husband, Joe (Richard Armitage), shot dead in a local park.
If all that wasn't enough, at the time of her husband's death, Maya had only just begun to recover after the murder of her scientist sister, Claire Walker (Natalie Anderson). At the start of the series, we learn that Claire was killed in her own home in an apparent robbery gone wrong.
But when Maya seemingly spots her supposedly dead husband on a nanny cam inside her house, she starts to question everything about her family.
There are plenty of twists, turns, and red herrings in "Fool Me Once," so let's unpack the key moments in the Netflix show's dramatic ending.
