What's On Tonight (Friday): A Cabin isn't a Shelter Unless it's a Coben...

         

Harlan Coben's Shelter

To be honest, I might not get around to watching today's Top Pick this weekend as I just signed back on with Max and will be catching up on stuff there.  But sure, if nothing there is striking my fancy, I'll give Harlan Coben's Shelter a try.  It looks like it could be a fun mystery show.  I never read the book, so that might work in my favor.

TOP PICK

⭐🔔 Harlan Coben's Shelter (Amazon, 12:01 AM) SERIES PREMIERE. 'Follows the story of Mickey Bolitar after the sudden death of his father leads him to start a new life in Kasselton, New Jersey. Mickey quickly finds himself tangled in the mysterious disappearance of a new student at his school, Ashley Kent, which leads to uncovering unimaginable secrets within their quiet suburban community. With the help of his friends - the inventive Spoon and the secretive Ema - Mickey pulls back the sleepy facade of Kasselton to reveal a dark underground that may hold the answers to decades of disappearances, deaths, and legends ... and perhaps even his own complex family history.'
