Now that’s a big little name to compare the series to, especially given the massive success of the HBO miniseries. Netflix boasts that its latest miniseries is somewhat similar to ‘Big Little Lies’. The episode gets you hooked from the get go, and that’s not even the best part. But as I watched the premiere of the series, I realized I am definitely in for a treat with this one.
A stranger shows up and reveals secrets that have the power to destroy lives. If I am being honest, I was not entirely sold with the premise initially. As the episode ends, we learn that Tom’s is hiding the alpaca’s head in his closet. She messages Adam and tells him to not contact her for sometime. Later during the day, Corinne disappears and doesn’t show up for the award ceremony. She tells him about a lady, Suzanne Hope, who faked her pregnancy. Turns out, the boy, whose name is Dante, is alive, and a classmate of Tom’s.Īdam finally confronts Corrine, who tells him that it is the truth, but there is so much more to it. As they go deeper into the woods they discover clothes and shoes lying around, and finally spot a naked boy’s body by the water. While investigating the case, they cross the woods and spot an orange jumper. A white alpaca is found headless in the middle of the town, with a human bite mark on its leg. The next day, we’re introduced to officers Johanna and Wes as they investigate a bizarre case. Meanwhile, his older son, Tom, along with his friends, goes for the bonfire night. He makes some calls to the bank and realizes that Novelty Funsies is a cover name for a fake pregnancy website. Despite being hesitant, the seed of doubt begins to grow inside Adam, as he is deeply troubled by the news he learned.
And that if he wants to verify this he only needs to check for Novelty Funsies in his credit card transactions. She sits next to him, and tells him that his wife faked her pregnancy two years ago. It is during the practice that Adam is approached by a stranger a woman. His wife, Corinne, who is teacher, is away on a conference. He takes his younger one, Ryan, to the football practice, as he tries out for the A-team. Adam Price has two wonderful sons, and a lovely wife that he loves. We then go 12 hours back, and the series introduces us to the Prices. We learn that there is a bonfire night taking place around the area. The episode begins with a naked boy frantically in the woods at night. SPOILER ALERT (This ‘The Stranger’ review is based on just the first episode.) It follows Adam’s journey to get to the truth as he realizes there’s more to the secrets than what meets the eyes. The series is an adaptation of Harlan Coben’s best-selling mystery-drama of the same name. But it only takes one conversation with the Stranger to change it all as Adam sees his life crumble before him. Netflix’s latest mystery series, ‘The Stranger’ follows this premise and introduces us to Adam Price, a middle-aged man with a seemingly perfect life and a family that he deeply loves.
