Millions of viewers across the world were treated to a little piece of Stockport in Netflix's chart-topping Fool Me Once series.

This Harlan Coben adaptation - starring Michelle Keegan in the lead role as Maya - featured scenes filmed in the town centre air raid shelters, as well as Bramhall. 

The air raid tunnels feature as part of 'Corey's Den'. Bramhall, meanwhile, was used for the location of Maya's sister's home. 

The premise of the series is the murder of Maya's husband Joe. Things take a turn when Maya checks her 'nanny cam', and sees Joe talking to their child - after Joe was apparently dead.

Reviews for the show have thus far been mixed. Nick Hilton writes in The Independent: "Your tolerance for Fool Me Once will hinge entirely on your ability to switch off your brain and allow proceedings to wash over you. [...]

"It's TV that has the capacity to shock you – not because the plot is shocking, but because you're shocked it's still on."

Meanwhile, Joel Keller writes in The Decider: "Fool Me Once has all the usual aspects of a Coben adaptation: A twisty plot, solid acting, and a bit of a wry sense of humor that pops up a few times per episode. 

"And while there are points during the first episode where things seem to be a bit too complicated for our tastes, it still sets up an intriguing scenario that we're eager to see play out over the limited series' eight episodes."
