“Just finished the incredible #FoolMeOnce on @NetflixUK! I think it has been one of the very few times that I have started and finished a series on the very same day. But the performances and writing were so gripping that I couldn’t help but press watch the next episode! Fab!“saidanother viewer.
However, the series isn’t faring as well onRotten Tomatoes, where it currently has an audience score of 50%. “So many pointless twists and turns with multiple unresolved [story] lines at the end. The twist is only a twist because nothing leading up to it would suggest the ending,” wrote one user. ““Shallow, overacted, and tedious. Can this really have been a bestselling novel?!” said another.
