A Time-Loop Mystery That’s Riveting… Until Plot Holes Crash the Car
"Time travel? Check. Serial killer? Check. Brain cells? Tragically left in 1987." 🚗🕳️
My Perfect Stranger : 7/10 or even 6/10 (i wonna be generous)– A Murder Mystery With Heart, Nostalgia, and a Plot That Occasionally Forgets How Logic Works
✨ THE GOOD:
Time-travel with trauma – A red car, a dead future, and two sad people emotionally speed-running through 1987? Inject it.
The ‘80s vibes were immaculate – School uniforms, cassette players, and small-town gossip hotter than the serial killer trail.
Mystery pacing (sometimes) – Episodes 5–6 and 11–12 had us gasping like we forgot to breathe.
Side characters > main couple – The villagers had more depth, emotion, and screen presence than the romance did.
🧠 THE “HELLO? ANYONE HOME?” MOMENTS:
Stupid decisions galore – “Let’s confront a killer… alone… at night… unarmed.” Sure, what could go wrong?
Ending = CTRL+Z panic – The big reveal hit like a wet sock. Rushed, sloppy, and deeply unearned.
Tone rollercoaster – Some scenes screamed thriller, others screamed "Hallmark in hell." No warning, no seatbelt.
💞 THE “ROMANCE? WHERE?” FACTOR:
More lab partners than lovers – The leads had chemistry, but only if you count shared trauma and awkward eye contact.
Slow burn, no payoff – Like watching two introverts try to flirt via passive-aggressive time-jumps.
🎯 VERDICT:
"Like opening a vintage murder novel, only to find someone scribbled over the ending with a crayon."
Watch if: You love mystery thrillers with emotional depth, time-travel chaos, and small-town drama that lowkey slaps.
Skip if: You need smart characters, logical pacing, or an ending that respects the first 14 episodes.
Best paired with: 🕰️ A detective corkboard, an existential crisis, and a helmet for the plot whiplash.
