Okay, so first of all I should say that Stranger 2 has it's own individual plots that do not require a knowledge of Season 1.  However, almost all of the characters from Season 1 are back for Season 2 and they are not wasting their precious plot time reviewing who everyone is or how they are connected.  So, while watching Season 1 is not necessary, I would definitely recommend starting there to get the full effect.    Stranger 2 is the kind of drama that requires your full attention, so if you don't like complicated plots that are mentally challenging, this one is probably not a good choice.  Also, it lacks any traditional romance, so if that is a deal breaker for you, don't waste your time.  But if you enjoy a tight, complex plot that will keep you guessing until the end, Stranger 2 is well worth the effort.  The storyline is unique, the cast chemistry is amazing, and the characters are realistic.  In my opinion, the Stranger series is one of the best crime dramas out there.  I give Stranger 2 a 9 out of 10 ramen.
