New To Netflix: The Stranger

The Stranger Netflix TV Series 2020

Based on the novel by Harlan Coben, The Stranger forces us to confront a question we all fear – how well do we really know the people closest to us?

Adam Price seems to have a charmed existence. Two wonderful sons, a career in law, and most of all, a watertight marriage to his soulmate, Corinne, a teacher at the local school. Adam is living the dream. Until one night a STRANGER sits down next to him in a bar. “She lied, Adam. Corinne made it up, she was never pregnant… One more thing. If I were you, I’d run DNA checks on your two boys…”

As quickly as the stranger came, she is gone. Adam tries going after her, but it’s too late. As the stranger’s words eat away at Adam, he begins to investigate his wife. To his horror, his greatest fears are realised. When Adam confronts Corinne with evidence that she faked a pregnancy, she flees, leaving only a text message: MAYBE WE NEED SOME TIME APART. YOU TAKE CARE OF THE KIDS. DON’T TRY TO CONTACT ME. IT WILL BE OKAY. JUST GIVE ME A FEW DAYS… PLEASE

Adam makes it his mission to find Corinne but is shocked by what he uncovers. Who was that stranger and what does she have to gain from exposing all these secrets? How are these secrets connected?

Meanwhile Johanna– a local detective – is trying to untangle the mystery of a series of increasingly violent and bizarre crimes. As the death toll mounts, Johanna must race against time to find who is responsible.

If Adam is to find out where Corinne is, he needs to understand more about who this stranger is. While Adam hunts for Corinne, the Stranger continues to target other unsuspecting members of the community, exposing secrets and destroying lives. No one is safe.

In a shocking finale, Adam and Johanna are forced to confront the question of how far they are prepared to go to protect their loved ones. They find themselves caught up in something much bigger than they initially realised. The secrets they have stumbled upon will not only ruin lives, they will end them.\
