#18 Your weekly recommendations roundup.
A fun new murder mystery, a compelling new investigative podcast, and a masterclass in vulnerability.
Hello!
The Goonies meets Stranger Things in Harlan Coben’s Shelter.
This genre-bending series follows Mickey who moves in with his aunt Shira (played by Constance Zimmer) after his father dies in a car crash and his mother goes into rehab.
On his first day at his new high school, he befriends Ashley, another newcomer. The next day, she disappears.
Mickey teams up with the school misfits, Spoon and Ema, to uncover the town’s secrets and find their missing classmate. At the same time, Mickey is trying to understand why the old woman who lives in the spooky house down the street believes his dad isn’t really dead.
Shelter is a charming thriller that feels oddly nostalgic for a TV show set in 2023. You can watch it on Prime Video in Australia.
