The Stranger | Netflix

[Glanza]

We all have secrets. Based on the novel by Harlan Coben, The Stranger forces us to confront a question we all fear - how well do we really know the people closest to us? Starring Richard Armitage, Jennifer Saunders, Siobhan Finneran and Hannah John-Kamen, The Stranger arrives January 30.

Looks like a ramped up episode of Eastenders.

Looks like a ramped up episode of Eastenders.

Same vibe I got, and I can't stand Eastenders.

I'll be giving this a miss.

I enjoyed Safe which was by the same director also based on a book by Coben.

Will give this a go.

actors a bit like clive owen ... but just looks like one of the itv adds for another derivative series.

edit: got it the bbc series about the doctor having an affair that won bafta awards ... so ..., it will be another netflx success
... theres an interview, last week, on r4 with the director of netflix series sex education, talking up the reason for it's success.

Anyone watching this? I'm 3 episodes in. Reasonably enjoyable but I don't find myself thinking about it afterwards or particularly looking forward to the next episode.

Watched it all on a rainy day last week, perfectly enjoyable binge material but don't go looking for anything too deep.

Watched 20 minutes of the first episode with the wife. After that I decided it was exactly the sort of dross ITV would air and I avoid like the plague.

She binged watched it over a couple of days and said it was good. That says to me I had a lucky escape and didn't waste anymore of my life watching it.

It was a bit poo tbh. Super dramatic music over the most mundane scene

I watched it, it was ok. Better at first than later. My previous watch was Cobra, so the bar was pretty much on the floor before hand!
