I watched it from beginning to end one sitting. Couldn’t stop. Simply terrific. Loved all the actors good or bad and the ending is unforgettable.

[@cutzymccall7675]

Fun whodunnit. Armitage is a gorgeous actor. Haven't seen him in a while, so it was great to have him back.

[@minkgin3370]

An excellent drama. Keeps you guessing right to the end.

[@jobes4525]

OMG! All the things I love, all in one place! Harlan Coben, Harlan Coben books turned into mini series. James Nesbitt, his lovely accent. And the gorgeous Richard Armitage (phew) 🙏❤️

[@oliverclennan4809]

[@frankmartin7379]

An interesting mystery series with many twist to keep you clued to the series.

Loved it. Lost a lot of sleep, staying up watching this. Well worth the under eye bags next day 👍

[@paranoid2298]

I really really love the series

[@charlotted1321]

This was epic 👏

[@cuu899]

I am so excited!!!

[@pamelashinya1072]

I watched this serie becuase of Richard Armitage and Harlan Coben and I enjyed it as much as The stranger previously. However, what called my attentión was at the biginning of the series at the tennis court, it remained me a memorable scene of Alfred Hitrcjcock's Strange on a train, a geniality.

I have read every single Harlan Coban book and some twice I can never get enough. I love when they make his books into movies 0r series

[@ryanjames2665]

What’s the best one? I wanna get into his novels

[@camillevote7901]

@@ryanjames2665 Just One Look was the first one I read It had me hooked right away I did not want to talk to anyone I just wanted to read this book! The second one I read was Tell No One Then I started reading the Myron Bolitar series and I loved it I loved all the characters I love his stand alone books My favourite was the first one It’s from a mom’s point of view she talks about her kids in the backseat playing Pokémon and I knew the author had kids and a family that he loved

[@cristinaalonso1989]

loved it!

How the tables have turn🤔

[@petergordon4716]

I guess when they explain that the episodes were filmed in batches and 7 & 8 were filmed later its better understood that the opening minutes of episode 7 have zero reference to how episode 6 ended. In fact the end of episode 6 is not explained at all other than a glimpse of the victim in the final wrap up sequence as the show grows to a halt. I loved the book and the series follows the main story but it fails to give distance between Megan's location today versus Cassie's location at Vipers. It all appeared ads if everything was taking place in the same town. Yes there was a drive over a bridge on early episodes but that disappeared later and to me it lost the impact. Harlan writes great stories and generally the TV adaptations come out well. This one however did not match the Stranger.

[@princesspearl9131]

Ikr!!! Vipers was meant to be a mysterious faraway history but it felt like the neighbourhood club throughout the series with everyone occasionally going there.

[@joanneagius6247]

I agree the distance from Vipers to their town was minimal but otherwise the story was good and the actors fantastic especially Richard. 😍😍😍

[@aleksandramilenkovic9018]

[@dannybirch5117]

It was utter shite! The worst I've seen on Netflix, bad plot, bad acting (mostly), some of the characters were as thick a two short planks. I don't know how anyone could say this was in any way decent!

[@hesch-tag]

I'm baffled as well. I agree about the acting, totally unconvicing, no chemistry, no nothing. It was simply horrible.

[@brankastupar7101]

Absolutely agree!!

[@bigsistruck]

I mean, it was interesting enough to keep watching to see what happened, and the twist ending was good...but yeah...the dancing murder couple definitely put me off.

[@ekaeka763]

Because liking or disliking a show/movie is subjective. You dislike it, some liked it. You are not the beacon of truth.

[@dannybirch5117]

@@ekaeka763 I don't recall claiming to be the beacon of truth? The show was shite though, elite assassins that were about 20 and danced like they were in a musical?! I mean come on, it was trash!
