People can’t get enough of Netflix’s ‘crazy’ new thriller The Stranger.

The series, from the award-winning author Harlan Coben, is a mystery thriller set in suburbia, where one stranger enters the lives of many – and unfolds a web of life long secrets and lies.

Adam Price seems to have it all. Two wonderful sons, a career in law, and most of all, a watertight marriage to his soulmate, Corinne, a teacher at the local school.

That is, until one night a stranger sits next to him in a bar and tells him a devastating secret about his wife. The same night, a local school kid is attacked and left unconscious, and Adam’s teenage son Thomas quickly becomes embroiled in a conspiracy that threatens to lift the lid on secrets in the town.

Detective Johanna Griffin is handed the case but is soon derailed when her closest friend is murdered. While Adam desperately tries to get to the truth he is forced to confront a question we all fear – how well do we really know the people closest to us?

And while the series only landed on Netflix a few days ago, fans are already hooked – and have taken to Twitter to praise the “crazy” thriller:
