I'm not sure what to think of Fool me Once... I'm about half-way through the second episode and I can't quite sympathise with the main character. Both her sister and her husband has been murdered, several months apart, and she's following leads, as they do on TV. But it feels like she SHOULD go to the Police with said leads. Like, she finds out a friend didn't tell the Police everything she knew so she yells at the friend for that and then runs along and rummages through her Brother in Law's house when he's not at home, finds a secret and follows it to wherever, without telling the Police anything herself. AND she parks where it says "No Parking". :stare: She seems kinda arrogant and "self-important".

Meanwhile, the Police (investigating detective) isn't any better. He's having blackouts which he keeps secret from almost everyone, including his fiancé and the rest of the Police. But while he doesn't know what causes the blackouts and so far has refused to see a doctor, he takes some sort of medicine after having them??? :shrug: Also, his blackouts are giving me deja vu for some reason. I'm pretty sure I haven't seen this series before. But I feel like I've seen a cop blacking out - perhaps even the same actor blacking out, before... :hmm:

Edit: I looked up the actor and while I have seen at least 4 movies with him, I don't think he fainted or blacked out in any of them. Must be reminding me of someone else :hmm:

Maybe it's a remake of something

It's based on a book I never heard of.
But I did google TV series where the police detective has black outs and up popped Marcella, which is a Netflix series I have watched. So maybe that explains the deja vu...

Isn't that one of those Harlan Coben things? :hmm:
There was another one of his stories made that was on Netflix recently, I think it was called Safe. Or something like that.
But I don't know if it had any Blackout Policemen in it. :shrug:

EDIT: After a quick google it seems Netflix have a contract to turn fourteen of his stories into shows. :dry:
Maybe one of them will have a blackout in it.

...And now I've just pressed play to start watching Transformers: Rise Of The Beasts. Whatever the hell that is.
It's gonna be terrible, isn't it? :lol:

The name Harlan Coben sounds familiar, so yeah he's probably the author. (It does say at the beginning of each episode but I don't pay much attention and I think the theme music is a bit annoying too, so I try to skip the intro, most of the time).

Did the movie have lions transforming into cars? Horses transforming into mustangs? :hmm:

I hope you're not paying for it. :dry:

And yes, I struggled to understand why there was an alien planet that had robots that had the form of various earth animals (gorillas, birds cheetahs etc.) who all had to escape from another robot and then ended up on earth with other robots.
If it was all explained it must have happened when I was asleep.
