THE Stranger has left Netflix fans reeling with alpacas named after One Direction – who fall prey to a brutal twist.
The series is based on the Harlan Coben book of the same name but the setting has moved from America to Cheshire.
In the first episode, an alpaca is found beheaded in the middle of the town, and when the police go to the nearest alpaca farm to investigate, they get a bit of a surprise.
As the owner walks them through the grounds, she reveals the names of one field of Alpacas, all in honour of the five members of Take That.
She then reveals the alpacas in the next field are named after One Direction, pointing out Harry, Liam, Niall and Zayn.
However the owner realises Louis is missing, before it dawns on them all that he is the dead alpaca.
Fans were left reeling by the scenes, with one writing on Twitter: “Absolutely losing my mind over the first episode of #TheStranger with this lady who has named her alpacas after One Direction and has just been told Louis was decapitated.”
Another tweeted: “Watching the first episode of the @netflix show #TheStranger and when the lady named off her alpacas and the last five were the names of ONE DIRECTION I screamed. poor Louis.”
A third added: “Creasingggg that she called her alpacas after Take That and One Direction in #TheStranger .”
Meanwhile a fourth shared: “Hoy!! Haha they used One Direction band members as names of the sheep/llamas Louis was the one decapitated why? #TheStranger #thestrangernetflix.”
Viewers have also been left baffled by a potential plot hole that involved the schoolchildren’s illegal rave in the woods.
The eight-part series concluded with some explosive revelations and the potential for season two earlier this month.
There are many twists and turns across the series leaving you questioning each character after each episode.
Yet, viewers have been left scratching their heads about why the woodland rave in the first episode was important to the series.
The Stranger is available to stream on Netflix now.
