Harlan Coben’s Run Away
First up is a show which you may wish to kick off the New Year with: Harlan Coben’s Run Away. Run Away is a mystery thriller which arrives on Netflix in January and boasts an all-star cast of top names including James Nesbitt, Ruth Jones, Alfred Enoch, Tracy Ann Oberman, Minnie Driver, and Annette Badland.
Describing the new series, Netflix said:
“Simon had the perfect life: loving wife and kids, great job, beautiful home. But then his eldest daughter Paige ran away and everything fell apart. So now when he finds her, vulnerable and strung out on drugs in a city park, he finally has the chance to bring his little girl home.
“But it turns out she’s not alone, and an argument escalates into shocking violence. In the aftermath, Simon loses his daughter all over again, and his search to find her will take him into a dangerous underworld, revealing deep secrets that could tear his family apart forever.”
Shows based on Harlan Coben stories have become very popular as of late, with Fool Me Once and Missing You being prime examples of hit shows. This latest offering is likely to be a success for Netflix too.
Should you wish to take a look, Run Away is available to stream on Netflix from January 1st.

Land of Sin
Next up is the five-part Swedish crime series, Land of Sin. Created and directed by Peter Grönlund, and starring Krista Kosonen, Mohammed Nour Oklah, and Peter Gantman, the series focuses on a murder investigation, with a personal connection.
Describing the new show, Netflix said:
“When teenager Silas is found dead at a farmhouse on the Bjäre peninsula – the perpetually angry, odd but highly intelligent investigator Dani (Krista Kosonen) is teamed up with newly graduated police colleague Malik (Mohammed Nour Oklah) to investigate the case. The investigation leads Dani and Malik into a patriarchal rat-hole on the Scanian countryside and they soon find themselves at the centre of a dark family feud that has been going on for generations.
“Dani, who has a personal connection to the victim Silas, is drawn deep into the investigation and the families it centers around. The Patriarch Elis (Peter Gantman) gives Dani a deadline to solve the case before taking matters into his own hands within the family. Synden is a modern crime set in an uncertain world of conflict and violence where the original sin is constantly present.”
Should you wish to check out Land of Sin, the new series will launch on Netflix on January 2nd.

Fall Out: Season Two
Sticking with Prime Video and a show which you don’t have to wait to watch, as it is currently streaming, is Fall Out: Season Two. This second season picks up the story following Season One’s epic finale, and promises more post-apocalyptic drama from a cast which includes Ella Purnell, Aaron Moten, Walton Goggins, Kyle MacLachlan, Moisés Arias, and Frances Turner.
Prime Video said: “Based on one of the greatest video game series of all time, Fallout is the story of haves and have-nots in a world in which there’s almost nothing left to have. Two-hundred years after the apocalypse, the gentle denizens of luxury fallout shelters are forced to return to the irradiated hellscape their ancestors left behind—and are shocked to discover an incredibly complex, gleefully weird, and highly violent universe waiting for them.“
Should you wish to check out Fall Out, Season One and Season Two are now streaming on Prime Video.

TV Gold…
24
Over to TV Gold now to highlight a classic show which you may want to take a look at if you’re after a series with lots of episodes to binge. The show is the action-thriller, 24 starring Kiefer Sutherland.
For those not familiar with the series, Sutherland takes on the role of counter-terrorist federal agent, Jack Bauer. During the course of the series, Jack is tasked with uncovering and intercepting various terrorist plots and attacks, including bioterrorism and a presidential assassination, and along the way things get very personal for a bruised and battered Jack.
Tense, compelling, and truly gripping, 24 was a huge hit when it first hit screens back in 2001. The show’s unique selling point was its real-time action, with each episode taking place over a period of one hour, regularly signified by an onscreen ticking clock. As I say, it was tense stuff!
Anyway, should you wish to check out 24 for the first time, or reconnect with with a golden oldie, Disney+ currently has nine seasons of 24 available to stream. With 24 episodes in almost every season (Season Nine is 12 episodes long), this gives you plenty of drama to dive into as we head into the New Year.
