Strangers

I liked this show and found it captivating. The writing was lacking at times and like another reviewer felt the handing over of cell phone in scene 2 was not realistic and far fetched. This show has the potential, with better writing, to be really good.

Slow start but good acting & seems to be speeding up now. Shame about some of the technical details, for instance, the voice message left for Jonah by his wife being altered by the HK police. Voice messages are not stored on the phone, they are saved on the network providers servers, to delete a message would be simple, but to edit a message would be impossible as the HK police would need direct access to a UK network server, NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.

Would highly recommend this show. Good story that's gets more and more interesting as it happens. It will tug at your heart strings and give you the necessary escape that we all need during this lockdown. Enjoy, you will not be disappointed.

Don't be put off by the negative reviews. Lots of surprising twists and turns and solid entertainment.

If you're impatient for action sequences then this isn't for you, but I really enjoyed the slow build of this show. It kept my interest enough early and as it got into later episodes it really turned up the heat and had a very satisfying finish and ending. I also really enjoyed the setting among the British-Asian mix of Hong Kong and they really capture it throughout, not just a couple of tracking shots and then the rest is filmed in Vancouver or something. The lead character can be frustrating and hard to cheer for at times but he grows from experience over the course of the show. Definitely worth watching if you can appreciate storytelling and a slowly revealed mystery as opposed to an action thriller.
