      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      If not quite as addicting as its source material, The Stranger has a strong cast and enough tension to keep viewers on the edge of their seats.

      Barry Divola Sydney Morning Herald With revelations dealt out like treats, actors of the quality of Stephen Rea and Jennifer Saunders in the cast, and pacing that is guaranteed to elevate your pulse rate, just try to watch one episode without being sucked in. May 22, 2020 Full Review Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe Mediocre TV + Weird Mysteries - Restaurants x Extra Hours = Addiction. Mar 19, 2020 Full Review Melanie McFarland Salon.com In elevating the emotional stakes to the same level as the conspiracy, Brocklehurst imbues "The Stranger" with a weight that stays with the viewer more effectively than all the other weekend crimetime options parading across TV schedules. Feb 7, 2020 Full Review Diane Pershing Malibu Times Each new discovery leads to more danger and often life-threatening results. Eight episodes, a binge-worthy weekend. Go for it. Feb 21, 2020 Full Review Alberto Carlos Espinof 'The Stranger' is an effective and addictive thriller, but despite its overabundance of elements, it is incredibly meaningless. [Full Review in Spanish] Feb 19, 2020 Full Review Adam Sweeting The Arts Desk It's the kind of show where you keep saying "this is ridiculous!", but end up watching it all anyway.

      Jim W They kept you wondering whodunnit, and wove a complex tale. No wonder I couldn't figure it out: they had two completely separate and unrelated plot lines going on. A disappointment that those lines didn't tie in better with each other for an actual thriller. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/12/24 Full Review Denise T Death by a thousand idiots. This thing was just a ton of disparate threads that in the end have little or no relevance to the central missing mother storyline which is why we’re watching. The whole sub plot of the kids and drugs and beheaded alpaca had zero connection to the Corinne situation. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/05/24 Full Review Anastasiia M So many unnecessary characters and plot arcs. So many cliché lines like 'I would do anything for my family.' Such weak motivations behind the actions of nearly everyone in the series. The plot pretends to be dynamic and convoluted, but in fact, it is so slow and predictable. It was so tiresome to watch. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/01/24 Full Review Steve A Loved It ! Brilliant Thriller....Binge It Now ! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/24/24 Full Review Sofia Too many whys? I got the feeling like they try to squeeze too much drama pro minute. It shows very well what happend when you do things with no brain in your head. I am happy with that ending...at least after all that much stupidity at least the ending I was hoping. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/07/23 Full Review Kathleen P Really good actors but the plot was just too ridiculous and multi-pronged to enjoy. I had just watched Siobhan Finneran in Happy Valley, which she was fantastic in but here she was perfectly made up all the time and seemed to be playing at acting, a shell of the way she normally embodies characters. She was weak in this role and her sidekick on the force was even weaker from an acting perspective. This one was a slog. I don't recommend. Try Follow the Money or Salamander or The Killing all on Topic or of course, Happy Valley. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/11/23 Full Review Read all reviews
