A stranger who knows all your secrets? 'The Stranger' is a thrilling watch

Netflix’s answer to the Eurythmics?

Revolving around the premise of secrets and lies, the eight-part British thriller series based on Harlan Coben’s novel The Stranger makes for riveting viewing indeed. After all, don’t we all have some secrets?

I was hooked from the get go, and binge-watched the whole season over one weekend. And even in the end, when all was revealed and it was a little bit of a letdown compared to the incredibly well-paced and nail-biting run-up, I felt satisfied with the series, loose threads and all.
