One viewer, Michelle Pryde, raved: ‘5 episodes deep into #FoolMeOnce and questioning whether I really need a job and could call in sick for work tomorrow as I need to finish it!! I am HOOKED. @michkeegan is just brilliant.’
Echoing Michelle’s sentiment, Jennifer Smith enthused: ‘@HarlanCoben I am supposed to go back to work tomorrow after this holiday break but I can’t stop watching #FoolMeOnce. Back to being sleep deprived I go.’
Angela Bennion remarked: ‘Binged, done. Absolutely fantastic storyline but #thisgirl @michkeegan is another level. On the edge of my sofa all day #FoolMeOnce #superstar x.’

Dame Joanna, 77, and Michelle, 36, that the final scene was one of the most remarkable they had filmed in their long careers.
The Absolutely Fabulous star explained: ‘[The final scene] was a 14-page scene, which is unheard of. Usually when they give you the call sheet [a scene] is one [page] and two-thirds, two [pages] and a quarter or three-quarters of a page, this was plenty more.
‘And it was a biggish cast; there five of us there maybe. Five of us in an enormous room, so it was very, very detailed work.’
Describing the scene as one of her ‘favourites’, Michelle continued: ‘We did it again and again. Normally you break up quite a lot of a big scene like that, but you couldn’t break it up. That scene had to be done in chronological order for it to make sense; for us to get to the emotional peak where we need to be.’
Dame Joanna even revealed the cast and crew consented to breaking their contracts and worked overtime to finish.
She said: ‘They had to call the hour, which in our business means you have to ask the crew and the cast if they’re prepared to break the contracts and work an extra hour over into midnight. It was midnight or one o’clock when we finished.’
Fool Me Once is available to stream on Netflix.
