Ooooh I haven’t. I’ll look it up! Thank you.
Did you all watch ‘safe’ that was really good on Netflix to.

Omg Safe! Yes that was so good, whilst watching the stranger all I could think was I watched a series so similar to this a year or so ago so I'm Glad I didn't make it up 😂
 
I was a tiny bit disappointed with The Stranger. Considering all the hype surrounding it, it was a tad anticlimactic.

I echo some of the comments about Richard Armitage, though. He is lovely. As Anthony Head. 😍

Line of Duty has set the bar so high. Other shows that came relatively close in enjoyment; Unforgotten, Luther, Happy Valley, and Broadchurch.

I enjoyed it although a bit far fetched. Now watching Safe which is also Harlan Coben.
Most of the Stranger was filmed in Manchester, the house used for Richard Armitage's home was worth 1.45m when it sold in 2013. Very realistic for him and his PE teacher neighbour!!!

wasn’t he a lawyer? So that house I could believe but yes I wondered how the PE teacher had such a nice place 😂
Safe is the same. All big houses and middle class.
 
I also really enjoyed it and pretty much binge watched it, and there were some twists that I wasn't expecting.

What I don't get though, is what motive did Johanna have as the police officer to help cover up his murder? Like what evidence did she even have that the neighbour, Tripp had even murdered his wife, apart from the fact that he said so? Since they only knew each other during the investigation, right, so not really that long

Aye a lawyer but he seemed to only have one client and a lot of time on his hands lol not dissimilar to the surgeon in Safe who seems to have all day to himself
 
Okay I have SO many questions so spoilers ahead!!

1.) Did we ever find out why Katz broke into the cafe and murdered Heidi? I never understood his motive!! He said it was something to do with protecting Olivia but I don't get it?
2.) Apologies if I missed this as well, but how did Dante end up where he did and was it connected to the alpaca murder? Was it Mike that did it all?
3.) Did we ever find out Corrine's motive for the fake pregnancy??

Also...so disappointed with the ending!! I was hoping she'd be tied up in it all and responsible for some things some how!

1. Katz had that acquaintance Larry Powers who was cheating on his wife with young girls from the sugar baby website. Heidi’s daughter worked for the site meeting men and she met Larry Powers. ‘The stranger’ was blackmailing Heidi with this information but also blackmailing Larry with the same information. So Larry hired Katz as a private investigator to find out who ‘the stranger’ was. Katz took up private investigating as his daughter was ‘chronically ill’ and had private medical bills that needed payed so he was desperate. Which in the end wasn’t even true as it was actually Olivia’s mum poisoning her, so he did it all for nothing. Katz’s private investigation brought him to Heidi (as she was also being blackmailed) and when he went to interrogate her (to simply try and find out who ‘the stranger’ was) Heidi became really suspicious and I guess Katz just panicked and killed her.
2. The thing with Dante was pretty much not even necessary to the whole story I feel. At the bonfire he was going to go swimming in the lake with Daisy but she stole his clothes and ran away (which is why he was naked). I believe he then got spooked in the woods by the Max Bonner (who I believed was out collecting wood?) who innocently chased Dante and Dante fell and hit his head. So the whole situation was really just a coincidental accident.
So Mike had nothing to do with the Dante thing. But Daisy spiked Mike when at the bonfire as she believed he leaked the fake naked pictures of her little sister (but this was actually Olivia) So because he was so high on drugs he befriended an alpaca but then killed it as he believed it was going to kill him.
3. I think the whole ‘fake pregnancy’ was actually just to keep her husband with her. I think they were going through a rough patch at the time and possibly going to separate so she did it to try and stop him from leaving her. I think in the end the fake pregnancy didn’t relate to the whole story other then the fact that Tripp hired ‘the stranger’ to try and find dirt on Corrine as she was going to expose Tripp for stealing the money. That was her dirt. But her reason was just so her husband wouldn’t leave her. Someone correct me if I’m wrong :)

Writing all that makes me realise how many things weren’t actually connected to the whole overall plot but rather just coincidental happening.
