On Stranger 1 & 2

After completing a rewatch of both seasons I have few comments to add. I recommend seeing the top reviews from each season as they do a thorough job of covering why these two seasons are so outstanding.

This show is not an action thriller. You won't see prolonged fight scenes. The dense fast pace of clues demands your attention, and I guarantee the great majority will not see the twists coming. You'll need to rewatch and knowing those coming twists appreciate how well crafted the two seasons are.

I'm going to give a spoiler for the movie 'The Sixth Sense'. If you haven't seen that you might want to stop here. In the Sixth Sense the boy who can see ghosts is helped by a psychiatrist and we watch the good doctor try to deal with his own problems and also try to figure out how to help the small boy. It's not until the very end that it's revealed the good doctor is a ghost but doesn't know it. Both seasons of Stranger have twists at the end but the first season has the biggest, and like in the Sixth Sense after it's sprung you'll want to go back and check off the oh so subtle clues that it was coming.
