While the cast of Caught on Netflix is interesting, does the plot outshine the intrigue of the star-studded ensemble?

Harlan Coben’s partnership with Netflix has given subscribers a front-row seat to his labyrinth of secrets. Caught on Netflix is the third adaptation of Coben’s books to premiere in 2025, following Missing You and Just One Look. The series follows Ema Garay, an investigative journalist, renowned for shedding light on cases of unpunished crime. She is immersed in her latest exposé—tracking a predator who uses an online gaming platform to manipulate teenage girls.

Determined to bring his heinous crimes to light and ensure justice is served, after Ema nearly catches the perpetrator in the act, her primary suspect turns out to be a trusted community member, Leo Mercer. As Ema’s team gets caught up tracking the whereabouts of Leo, a new investigation surfaces when a 16-year-old violin player goes missing after being in contact with a mysterious older man.
