The Story

 

Two seemingly random strangers somehow get transported back to the year 1987 together.  But as the stories from their own pasts begin to intersect and crossover, they realize that maybe their relationship is not as random as it first seems.  They will have to work as a team is they hope to solve a decades-old serial killer case.  And catching the killer in 1987 will save two important lives from their present-time.  But finding a serial killer isn’t the only thing that will preoccupy their time, as they each meet and gain new understanding of the younger versions of their parents and grandparents.

Should I Watch

 

My Perfect Stranger

For me, “My Perfect Stranger” was a very pleasant surprise.  This character driven murder mystery/time travel drama is a gem of balanced genres and gripping story telling.  It manages to create a suspenseful mystery while avoiding a dark, violent tone.  If you prefer chilling serial killer stories, tight time-travel story elements, or passionate love stories, maybe you won’t enjoy the middle of the road approach.  But if you appreciate trace elements of all these things with a good dose of heartwarming family interactions, this one is a lot of fun.  The characters are well-written, their family stories are interesting, and the whodunit elements have plenty of well-executed plot twists.  I give “My Perfect Stranger” a 9 out of 10 ramen.
