Harlan Coben's Shelter successfully hooked me with this amazing pilot episode. Opening with a darkly mysterious backstory and then jumping ahead 25 years, the plot immediately grabbed my attention .
The main character, Mickey Bolitar, is good-natured and easy to like, and within fifteen minutes I already was invested in seeing what happens to him.
I love the NJ locations and the dialogue scenes set with background views across to New York City at night. It's atmospheric.
The pilot episode has a perfect balance of introducing the characters, setting the tone, and creating an air of suspense.
