Review by loomco

The Stranger

Harlen Corben, it's not me it's you.

I have tried . I really have. I tried with Safe; I tried with The Woods; and I really tried with all 10 episodes of this dreck. The only saving grace of this, as it was with Safe, was the cast. The story goes nowhere and takes for ev err to get there. So I must let you go and not see you or anything by you ever again. Furthermore , I must warn others not to make the same mistakes I've made with you, in hopes they won't fall, as I did, for the allure of an interesting trailer, showing a decent looking plot with at least one famous name in the cast. That decent looking plot will all but disappear by the end of episode three to be replaced by never-ending tangential plot lines that drop into the abyss, never to be resolved, no matter how banal or un-connected to the original story they may be. Don't make the mistake I did of waiting until the final episode to see if they can tie it all up because they can't and don't and frankly who cares by that point. But Harlem Corben, I'll not let you crush my dreams of a finding a great British detective series on Netflix. It just won't be yours. But mark me down as happy that Netflix is so delusionally proud of these that they emblazon the thumbnails with his name. So much easier to avoid them that way.
