The Stranger

In the beginning, it's pretty entertaining, and the story keeps you hooked. Plot development is easy to follow. Around halfway, maybe a little more, is when the plot development starts to get difficult to understand, character motivation lacks. Overall acting is mediocre AT WORST, and is pretty good. Cinematography is also overall pretty damn good. But, like I mentioned, the writing sucks. I would say it sucks more in around the second half, but there's not many literary devices used throughout the whole show, making some parts spontaneous and badly written. But for the people saying it's not realistic, I wouldn't say that's a valid complaint. It's not made to be a documentary, just a little show to entertain you. So just because it's not realistic doesn't ruin the show (I would say most Marvel movies could never happen, they're still fantastic and successful movies). But yes, there are very few plot holes, and the ending could've been ALSO written more skillfully.

Very cheesy and bad acting except Dane DeHaan and Avan Jogia. The story is very impossible yet it is watchable just kind of stupid.

I have just watched the first episode and i must say that i loved acting of Mr. DeHaan in this show. He is really good in potraying a sociopat.

Honestly, the show is okay. Its entertaining, not terrible. But I had a difficult time believing anything in this show would actually happen. The acting wasn't that good. The writing was biased and pretentious. The baseline was creative but then it was given to writers who had no clue what the hell they were talking about. Honestly it's a nice time killer during a pandemic, but that's it.

Didn't give a star rating since I only saw one ep. Man it is awful. I'm a fan of Dehan and Monroe, so I'm saddened and a little disappointed to see them in this level of show. The dialogue is so clunky and cringe I had to stop watching several times in the first (7min!) episode. Neither behave or talk like real human beings, and the build up to the "reveal" at the end is laughable, not scary, due to the execution. I hope for better projects for both of them in the future.
