Tense TV thriller Caught may have just hit Netflix, but we are already hooked. Based on Harlan Coben’s novel of the same name, the Argentinian series – the first Latin American adaptation of his work – stars Soledad Villamil as journalist Ema Garay. It’s the latest book from Coben to be adapted for the small screen, following his previous novels Fool Me Once (Netflix's most watched series of 2024, starring Michelle Keegan), Missing You and Stay Close.
