The good news is that the hour didn't feel as though it was hurtling through too much plot at lightning speed.

As a result, Harlan Coben's Shelter Season 1 Episode 4 was infinitely easier to follow but still filled with twists and that tense cliffhanger.

We also have some confirmation about Ashley's whereabouts, but for how long?

As suspected, Rachel is a friend, not a foe, and Bat Lady remains one of the series' most puzzling characters.

Shelter is one of those series that, more often than not, makes it challenging to keep up with all the little tidbits they throw at us as it spins about a dozen plots simultaneously on its axis.

Nevertheless, it's an intriguing ride, and whether you can keep up with everything or not, it's nothing short of entertaining, primarily due to the likability of many of the series' characters and how well the actors do at bringing them to life.
