StoryLine –

The Stranger is an eight part British Mystery thriller series written primarily by Danny Brocklehurt and based on the 2015 Harlan Coben novel of the same title. A mysterious stranger tells a man a secret that has a devastating impact on his seemingly perfect life. This stranger is a woman in her 20s with a baseball cap and a bomber jacket, and is learned to be correlated with more secrets as the series progresses. This secret affects the man’s wife who goes missing as a result. 

Our Views –

As the series evolves, it can be seen that there is a stranger who has many targets in the town to reveal their secret publicly for money. The secrets are revealed about the life around Adam Price (Richard Armitage). This series keeps us on our toes throughout. We can see a skillful tying of all the twisty knots and gives a charging experience. But the end given was a bit unsatisfactory and failed to provide the climax which is built throughout the series.The main crux which Adam gets in the end is that the secret is better buried. The speed is properly propelled and not speeded.
