Hold Tight eventually brings the twists, but it feels slightly underwhelming. Of course, the actual task is linking the plot points together. The story becomes more about Igor, and disappearances and violence in the community become routine. It starts as a simplistic story of an overbearing mother and a grieving son, but it soon becomes a conspiratorial nightmare. A story about a young boy named Adam, presumably holding a secret about the death of his best friend Igor while his mother worries for him. These stories are designed to thrill at a balanced pace.Īnd so, with consistency, Hold Tight provides familiarity in that sense. You can forgive the meandering dialogue and the quick turn of events. If you are familiar with a Harlan Coben story, you will know that audiences are taken down a specific, intrinsic path before being hammered with an ultimate twist. But with the success of recent series ( The Innocent, Stay Close), Netflix must be enjoying having this universe in their armory ( they certainly need it after recent drops in subscribers). There’s so much in the pipeline from Harlan Coben’s collection that it’s challenging to keep up. We can be forgiven that Hold Tight came to our screens, and we nearly forgot about it.
