Our second TV series Really Awful Movies Podcast episode, after You. This episode focuses on the thrilling UK TV series, The Stranger, currently available on Netflix.

This one is non-stop action, and all based on the tagline / premise that “we all have secrets.” And these secrets are being exploited by the title character, a woman in a ballcap and a track suit who appears to unsuspecting citizens, revealing an envelope full of damning information they would not want publicly disclosed.

One such citizens is Adam Price, a partner in a law firm. The Stranger accosts the barrister at his son’s soccer game, providing numerous clues to what his wife has been up to, and her furtive dealings online.

And that’s just the start. Soon, The Stranger’s target is a coffee shop proprietor, whose daughter is paying her way through university in a most unbecoming way. What’s The Stranger’s motivation? What’s behind the extortion/blackmail attempts? It’s up to the barrister to get to the bottom of it.

The Stranger is 8 episodes of pure twists and turns. Subscribe to the podcast and check out the latest episode.
