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 05/22/2020
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. Go to Full Review
Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe 03/19/2020
Mediocre TV + Weird Mysteries - Restaurants x Extra Hours = Addiction. Go to Full Review
Melanie McFarland Salon.com 02/07/2020
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. Go to Full Review
Diane Pershing Malibu Times 02/21/2020
Each new discovery leads to more danger and often life-threatening results. Eight episodes, a binge-worthy weekend. Go for it. Go to Full Review
Alberto Carlos Espinof 02/19/2020
'The Stranger' is an effective and addictive thriller, but despite its overabundance of elements, it is incredibly meaningless. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

It's the kind of show where you keep saying "this is ridiculous!", but end up watching it all anyway. Go to Full Review

Karen R Sep 19 Well the big big flags are this supposedly superstar teacher... Corrine is never asked where she is by HER EMPLOYER ... she just disappears from classes no one care about that... then the stupid casting of some 40 years old looking supposed student and the silly female student who just decides to give a drug to someone because of what someone said... where in the planet are these zero IQ people.. answer in Harlen Cobden stories. See more James Apr 18 Quickly realized, I felt like an idiot for watching this, especially after the 2nd time that same feeling reared...he gone! See more Bessie B @bea.b 02/17/2025 throughout this show, i kept wondering how on earth they were going to tie the million different plot lines together at the end. but then they just...didn't. the alpaca was the best character. she was too good for this world See more Carlos T 01/20/2025 Série: Não Fale com Estranhos Assistido: 17-01-25 Elenco: @richardcarmitage @rituarya @teamsfinneran Dervla Kirwan, @jacobdudman Stephen Rea, Jennifer Saunders, Anthony Head, @ellaraesmith @shaun_dooley_ @hannahjohnkamen @calliemcooke @brandon_fellows Kadiff Kirwan, @kai.alexander Modelo: #suspense #policial Duração: 8 Episódios Ano: 2020 Minha opinião: Uma série misteriosa, pois para um povo que morava em um cidadezinha tranquila, onde tudo funcionava como um reloginho, famílias perfeitas, sociedade perfeita, mas exatamente nesta série vem uma avalanche de coisas, onde tem a estória central e outras estórias para tirar o nosso foco ou nos confundir, que o caso do Dante (Kai), que foi encontrado pelado e todo machucado a beira da morte e quem são os suspeitos Mike (Fellows), Thomas (Jacob) e Daisy (Ella), que drogou Mike por pensar que ele expos sua irmã na internet. E drogou Mike que matou uma paca e cortou a cabeça. Mas estória principal inicia com Estranha (Hannah) e Doyle (Callie), duas moças misteriosas que na verdade são detetives e descobrem coisas, que vão mexer com a vida de todos e o 1º e Adam (Armitage) Contando que sua esposa o enganou dizendo que havia perdido, e ele vai investigar e perguntar a ela, era verdade. Mas depois disso ela some e ele passa a procura-la e isso levará a série toda. Mas para isso Adam vai desvendando. E descobre que seu amigo Martin, havia matado sua esposa e a enterrado na sua casa e ele também é o pai da Estranha, mas não o biológico, pois o biológico é Edgar que é o pai de Adam. E oque aconteceu com Corinne? Foi assassinada pelo vizinho que por ter roubado dinheiro do clube e ela iria revelar ele a matou. Roteiro e enredo a criatividade do roteirista são muito bem feita, teve que ter uma mente para traçar todas as linhas de estória e criar a série. Uma incógnita, os filho de Adam eram dele mesmo? Vale apena assistir? sim Nota: 8 See more Bryan G 10/01/2024 I get that Hannah John-Kamen is the The Stranger and she is very beautiful but its funny how she is the Face of the show on all the ads and all the posters seeing how she is maybe in the show for 2 to 5 mins per episode. See more Terri C 09/22/2024 It starts interestingly enough, but eventually too many characters and plots. In the end, it is a TOTAL bummer. Red herrings, convoluted explanations, and too many coincidences. Too bad because it had me on the edge of my night. What a disappointment. See more Read all reviews
