5 Harlan Coben TV shows you need to add to your watch list after Lazarus

There are no shortage of TV shows on our watch lists right now, and with Harlan Coben's Lazarus now streaming on Prime Video, we can't imagine ourselves anywhere but the sofa for the foreseeable future.

The thriller marks Coben's second Prime Video adaptation, with 12 (soon to be 13) other shows on Netflix, and spans eight thrilling episodes, starring Billy Nighy, Sam Claflin.

As for the plot, it follows Joel Lazarus, who returns home after his father, Dr. Jonathan Lazarus, dies by suicide and begins to have disturbing experiences that can't be explained.

He quickly becomes entangled in a series of cold-case murders as he grapples with the mystery of his father's death and his sister's murder 25 years ago.

Coben is no stranger to a story that'll leave us puzzling over the tiny details long after the show is over, and his other tales are no different.

So, if you've finished Lazarus, here are five other Harlan Coben shows you should consider watching...
