More Critic Reviews for The Stranger Season 1 All Critics (20) | Top Critics (5) | Fresh (17) | Rotten (3) Yet the original hook remains. Jan 30, 2020 | Full Review… David Sexton London Evening Standard Top Critic [Harlan] Coben is nobody's idea of a literary crime writer, but this briskly recounted, plot-driven saga about skeletons in suburban closets is not entirely lacking in psychological insight. Feb 3, 2020 | Full Review… Liam Fay Times (UK) Top Critic 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… Melanie McFarland Salon.com Top Critic Good fun. Feb 18, 2020 | Full Review… Anne Brodie What She Said A clever, mystery thriller, that doesn't reveal its secrets until it absolutely has to. Feb 18, 2020 | Full Review… Kylie Klein-Nixon Stuff.co.nz If you're a fan of British mysteries and strong women, I can't recommend it highly enough. Feb 10, 2020 | Full Review… Steve Murray ArtsATL '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… Alberto Carlos Espinof In lieu of a single, compelling premise, its mystery is a web of disparate threads, which not only makes it plot-heavy but prevents any real character development. Feb 7, 2020 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review… Marty Brown Common Sense Media It's the kind of show where you keep saying "this is ridiculous!", but end up watching it all anyway. Feb 18, 2020 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review… Adam Sweeting The Arts Desk The notable performances by Siobhan Finneran and Richard Armitage... are the strongest pillar that make the series work, even though it doesn't fulfill all its expectations. [Full Review in Spanish] Feb 6, 2020 | Full Review… Paula Vázquez Prieto La Nación (Argentina) The Stranger is a lot like most decent mystery novels: Entertaining, but meant to be consumed not remembered. Feb 5, 2020 | Full Review… Dustin Rowles Pajiba The skillfull tying together of all the twisty knots is an all-enveloping and charged experience. Feb 7, 2020 | Rating: 4.7/5 | Full Review… Kerr Lordygan TV Fanatic View All Critic Reviews (20) Audience Reviews for The Stranger: Season 1 1d ago The plot is too convoluted and some of the acting is the worst I've seen on Netflix. The setting is like a quasi-American suburb of Manchester where teachers are paid seemingly endless amounts of money and no one has the same accent. It is far too unbelievable. The main cast are good, but the children are awful, as are the bit players. The blond fat boy is laughably bad. Peter C 3d ago Probably the worst thing I've ever watched on Netflix Adam P 3d ago I think the acting in this is very good and the story is portrayed very well, from the first episode I felt very invested in the story and where it was going hence the reason I finished this all in one day. Really enjoyable! George H 3d ago I think a good adaptation of the book I liked the twist at the end Mohamed A 4d ago interesting & nicely twisted Inta K 5d ago Terrible acting, convoluted plot lines with almost campy reactions to ridiculous "secrets" that are being revealed. Livvy F 5d ago An original masterpiece Ebert V 6d ago The cast was brilliant and the show was an edge of the seat thriller till the end. Sangeetha L Feb 12, 2020 Brilliant. Compulsive watching, good acting and nice to have a female senior detective Naomi S Feb 12, 2020 It passed the time, but I wouldn't say it was good. The show is overall predictable, the actors are only partly convincing and some parts of the story just don't make sense Serban P See all Audience reviews News & Features 150 Erotic Movies Ranked worst to best! 2019's Most Anticipated 63 movies coming up this year 200 Essential Movies Chosen by RT staff!
