Critics say Harlen Coben’s 2004 novel “Just One Look” is “a tale of grief and vengeance”. And Netflix’s Polish adaptation stays true to this theme, delivering a tense and suspenseful thriller.
The series centers on Greta, a devoted wife and mother, whose world is turned upside down when her husband, Jacek, suddenly disappears. His vanishing is triggered by the unexpected reappearance of an old photograph, setting Greta on a desperate quest for answers. As she digs deeper, she uncovers a tangled web of secrets and deception—ones that threaten both her family and everything she thought she knew.
With just six episodes, each running approximately 45 minutes, Just One Look is a fast-paced and binge-worthy thriller.
Is the series in English?
Although the series is originally in Polish, Netflix viewers have the option to watch it with English subtitles or English dubbing, which can be adjusted in the settings menu.
