My last post was about Gone for Good, a Netflix limited series based on the book written by Harlan Coben. I didn't like the series and I was actually quite bored throughout the entire series. But, I didn't give up on Harlan Coben, and that is why I immediately started to stream The Stranger afterward.
The Stranger is a limited series with 8 parts, all lasting between 40 and 50 minutes. It features Richard Armitage in the main role, a husband who suddenly gets to hear a baffling fact about his wife that turns his life upside down. But, the information he has been given is causing a way bigger wave than the one giving the information could ever have imagined. The Stranger, the person who gave this secret information to the character played by Richard Armitage, later shows up and shares secret information with other people, blackmailing some, while sharing information with others just to clear the air and get the truth out.
Then the wife disappears...
Just after confronting the wife with the information he just received, the wife suddenly disappears and the husband is suffering, even though he strongly disliked the truth about his wife that he just heard. But, what happened to the wife? Who is involved? Who is the stranger that just shared the information with him?
The limited series is packed with great questions and I really enjoyed watching this all the way until the end. Some of the smaller puzzles I was able to understand and guess (which I enjoyed), but you always had the feeling that there was a greater picture that you didn't clearly get.
No matter what, this is a great limited series on Netflix. I guess my mate 
No matter what, I think this can be compared to Stay Close (by Harlan Coben), but I think I found this to be a little bit more interesting and better than Stay Close (and a hundred times better than Gone for Good).
I guess it is time to hunt down the next Harlan Coben series on Netflix now! :)
