I watched the pilot episode of Harlan Coben's Shelter and there was a moment when Mickey and his parents sang a song called 'Shelter by 34 and Out' and as I was listeningI realized how much the song applied to Hannah.

And maybe Shira, we know more about Hannah than we do Shira because she's so out of her daily life as a Seattle lawyer, so I don't get a sense of what she does outside of lawyering, and how she feels about being a lawyer. Except she is a successful lawyer and she has an ex-husband. It's not a criticism because we do know what Shira's internal life is -- she's still grieving her brother, and dealing with guilt.

(Also, that Shira is really, really bad at cooking).

But we know exactly how Hannah feels about the life she's leading -- 'Lately, I was like damn! Two seconds ago I was eighteen and I had all this stuff I wanted to do with my life and I haven't done any of it!'

It's like the moment Shira walked back into Hannah's life, she had a sudden shock back to life like she had air in her lungs again. She was going through the motions from 19 years old onwards moved forward via inertia.

It turns out, the song is real but under a different name and artist, the song is really Gridlock by Butch Walker:

I don't wanna go back to the daily routine Don't put me back in that world And I know there's comfort in consistency And lookin' like every boy or girl After twenty-five years, I forget what it's like To do the same old shit on every Saturday night

I do think the scene between them while eating ice cream was the ignition for Hannah. She finally had the chance to clear the air between them, about why Shira abruptly exited her life with no warning.

And she tries to make it light and jokey so she wouldn't spook Shira.

"I wish you’d told me you didn’t want to be with me instead of fleeing across the country. I’m a big girl. I could handle it."

It looks like this is the first time it occurred to Shira this is how Hannah read why she left, Shira finally tells Hannah, 25 years too late: "I… left because… all I wanted is to be with you, and I had no idea what to do about it."

But its not too late. Because Hannah just stops here briefly and I think this, this was the moment Hannah decided to go after Shira.

Hannah's been in a holding pattern for 25 years, she's had her own life, yes and made her own choices but also, this seems all predicated on everything that was expected of her.

Hannah is knowingly going to blow-up her life for the chance to be finally be with Shira, and there will be people who will get hurt but I think just like as Shira said she owned that her 18 year old self was a selfish shit, Hannah is also going to own that what she's going to do selfish shit to be with Shira.

She's been doing everything's expected of her for 25 years but now Hannah's going to do something for herself, she's going to hold on to Shira and never let go.

Shira slammed the door on any future Hannah hoped they would have at 18 years old, but now there's a chance for them.

Fool Me Once

For today's journal entry, I really didn't want to have no entry today. As much as possible, I want to maintain this daily journal habit. I just want to share that I have finished reading "Fool Me Once" by Harlan Coben. It has 8 episodes on Netflix, and I watched the first 5 episodes yesterday, completing the rest today. Although I haven't read any of Harlan Coben's books, these Netflix 8-part mini-series managed to keep me engaged until the end. However, I did notice some flaws. It is painfully slow in the first five episodes, and then everything picks up at episode six.

Maya Stern (played by Michelle Keegan) is the central character in the narrative, attempting to reconcile with the brutal killing of her spouse, Joe (portrayed by Richard Armitage). When she discovers surveillance footage featuring a familiar man inside her home, numerous unanswered questions linger. Driven to uncover the truth, Detective Sami Kierce (acted by Adeel Akhtar), leading the homicide investigation alongside his new partner Marty (portrayed by Dino Fetscher), delves into the circumstances surrounding Joe’s demise while grappling with his own concealed secrets. The complexity deepens as Maya's sister had also been murdered months before Joe, prompting speculation about potential connections between the two cases.

This exceptional mystery thriller has become a topic of widespread discussion. The characters are intricately developed, fostering an easy connection between the audience and their respective struggles. Brimming with mystery and suspense, the show maintains a gripping intensity throughout, keeping viewers on the edge of their seats. The show's adeptness at sustaining intrigue and viewer engagement stands as a testament to its skillful execution.

Featuring multiple subplots, varying in significance, and boasting a narrative that is both imaginative and enthralling, "Fool Me Once" is essential viewing for enthusiasts of thrilling and thought-provoking experiences. Disregard any negative reviews; the show is truly fantastic.

[baronfulmen]

Harlan Coben's Shelter on Amazon Prime

It's bad.

Okay so more specifically: while there are plenty of individual good things about it, the actual plot is extremely stupid in a way that's not immediately obvious.

So there's all this stuff that's mysterious or dramatic but once you get to the end and look back none of it makes sense. It's all stuff where the only purpose is to make you watch the next episode, and doesn't actually serve the plot.

I'm trying not to be spoilery here and it's so hard to give examples but here's some minimally spoilery bullet points:

Much of the plot could have been a five minute conversation instead

There's a seemingly large organization that never accomplishes anything and lets random kids do their job

There's a guy that exists just to die dramatically so you'll keep watching and whose existence makes part of the plot make no sense

One of the main plots involves someone who goes missing but her presence in the first place actually makes ZERO sense
