Review of Strangers

Strangers (1996)
7/10
A forgotten romance...
27 September 2020
I only recall seeing a few episodes of this program, but that seems to be more than others do, going by the lack of user reviews here.

Strangers was an intriguing HBO series about couples meeting in Paris under unusual circumstances. There was an episode where an American businessman was obsessed with a stripper, stalking her and treating her like a prostitute, while she strangely wielded control over their sensual relationship. Another episode starred Emily Lloyd as a tomboyish female entranced by a man dressed as a woman (played by Samuel West) and their unique connection that upended gender/sex tropes. I think another one was about a woman falling for her husband's mistress, but that one didn't strike a chord with me as the other episodes did.

Although I saw this show about 25 years ago, it still lingers in my mind, like romance that could have been. Really wish there was someone else who remembers this!
