The Stranger (TV Mini Series) Episode 1 (2020) User Reviews

A really enjoyable first episode.

[Sleepin_Dragon · 8/10 · 23 April 2020]

What in Earth is going on? There are different plotlines, none of which seem to link up, or at this stage. Why would someone mutilate an alpaca, and why would a perfect stranger walk up to a man and explain that his wife has been lying to him about something major.

Very fast paced, dramatic and energetic, even if I didn't fully understand all that was happening it kept me entertained. Richard Armitage and Dervla Kirwan were both terrific.

Very well produced, it looks great, sounds good, I am intrigued after this first part, 8/10.

Twists and Turns Galore

{Initial Impression} Great British cast. Heaps of twists, right out of the gate. I'm a little concerned that they won't be able to keep up the pace or that, with so many tendrils of character stories, they won't have credible resolutions. But I will be positive. I give this series a optimistic 8 (great) out of 10. {Mystery Drama}

It starts like "Neighbourhood" flows as black mirror at some points but tension is high. It blinks to "Broadchurch" Like to watch Richard Armitage as a father. I think it was one season. Although quite fast and exciting. Language and the green view are bonus.

Promising, but lacking attention to detail

[ron-manuel · 13 April 2020]

When you've been admitted to the bar in England, you don't call yourself an attorney. You'd be a barrister or a solicitor.

When looking up a credit card transaction, in England, the dates would be day, month, year, not the American way of month, day, year.

The start of the first season of an interesting web series with an interesting episode.

The Stranger Season 1 Episode 1

Review : I think this website will be interesting enough. Watching the first episode, it seems to me that the whole thing is going to be interesting enough. In reviewing the first season, I would like to say that there are enough interesting and thrilling stories for the first one. It also smells like a crime, which makes this web series not only interesting and thrilling but also mysterious enough.

Acting : As for the first episode if I go to talk about acting then I have to say everyone has performed well enough and intensely. Hopefully in the next episodes they will judge their character in the same way.

Direction : Not So Good.

Story : Talking about the story of this episode, it must be said that there are many elements in the story of this episode.On the one hand, the story is full of family drama and on the other hand, there are thrilling things in this story. On the one hand, the beginning of the story is interesting enough, on the other hand, the end of the story is quite mysterious. The story is good enough in one line.

Dialogue : Very good.

Background Score : Fairly Good.

Soundtrack : The soundtrack that was used at the beginning of this episode means that the title track of this web series sounds good and melodious and very good.

Vfx : Good.

Cinematography : Good enough.

Editing : Pretty fine.

Lighting : Fairly Good.

Overall Episode : Judging by all, I gave this episode eight stars out of ten.

Very convincing and enjoyable first episode.

I have to start by saying congratulations to the people who produced this; no first episode of any show I've ever watched has had me so intrigued and engaged, and most importantly, no other shows make me want to watch the next episode as much as this one. And I must say, it's unique to watch Siobhan Finneran have such a major part.

And don't even get me started on the plot, which is both unique and interesting. It's so great because we see stuff we probably won't see anyplace else. I mean, whether it's a beheaded alpaca on a public road or the stranger herself, her entrance in this episode makes me wonder what type of character she is, good or bad. Personally, she seems to me as a mix of the two.

Weird start

[peter-15228 · 4/10 · 12 November 2020]

Just watched first episode.. Strange acting by Siobhan Finneran, she's acting her park as if this is a comedy, whilst rest of cast acting as a serious role! Not sure if it's worth watching the rest of series.

I Accept This Award, Not On My Wife's Behalf, But Because I Deserve It More.

[wandernn1-81-683274 · 5/10 · 27 August 2021]

Okay, another made for Netflix series.

English apparently. I'm sorry do I know you? Weird first encounter with the ball cap wearing English girl, which is an anomaly in itself. I know I certainly wouldn't trust an English accent girl wearing a baseball cap. -1 Star

I'd get up and walk away and/or punch her in the face. Some stranger saying check your kids' DNA? Hahahaha. Please.

So much weirdness in this episode. She lied to you? But you trust her? But you didn't trust her enough that you didn't check into her? Bizarre of Bizarre?? Okay how about +1 Star and -1 Star??? How about that???

I know I would have got up there and accepted that award and said I CERTAINLY DESERVE THIS AWARD!

5/10.
