What is it about British and Irish TV series? With budgets probably a fraction of comparable US fare, the entertainment industries of these two islands consistently produce top quality series that show wit, imagination, actors at the top of their game and plots that are not afraid to challenge and push the envelope on creativity. The Stranger hooked me within minutes. The interlocking relationships and secrets of an English city were slowly revealed with all its twists and turns that came to an unpredictable explosive climax. In my opinion this is a must watch TV series.
