Stranger is an amazing show because it works very well as an entertaining TV show about an unusual genius solving crime and taking down institutions. If you pay some attention it's much more than that. In the movie Seven, we see our main character lose faith in humanity as he sees the actions of the killer. In Stranger, we get to suffer instead as we lose our faith in the system as Hwang Shi Mok faces problem after problem that would make any sensible person completely lose their mind where you can't trust anyone or anything but he doesn't because he can't express or feel emotion the same way we do, there is something comforting and scary about it. We get to learn a horrible truth about our world through Stranger the only way to be a hero in the real world is by being an emotionless robot who is highly functioning and doesn't get affected by all the things that put him down. The moment you become a person you have already lost against the system. Even after all the lengths, he goes does he really get anything done. Stranger is quite bleak for people who scratch beneath its surface and so I love it. I hope more folks get to watch it since I feel it would get appreciated even more outside of this circle.
