Strangers

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

The shots/scenery of Hong Kong from the sea-view to the unusual perspectives of apartment high-rises are just two of the reasons this show kept me enthralled. Sure, the main character took risks that I'm not sure the average Joe or Jane would take, but his pursuit of the truth about his wife gave credence to his semi-stupid mistakes. Unlike a previous reviewer, I did not find the pace slow...it seemed driven to me, and I always wanted to see what happened next. I found the show well done and easy to watch.

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.

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.

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.
