Calling all Agatha Christie fans! The Italian crime drama, Stranded, has just landed on Channel 4 via its streaming offshoot Walter Presents, and it might be worth adding to your watchlist for the festive period.
The eight-part series follows wealthy banker Giovanni Lo Bianco, who is on holiday at a luxury ski resort with his children when he recognises a fellow guest with the potential to uncover his double life. But when a huge avalanche cuts off the Vanoi Valley, the guests are stranded and only fate will decide who escapes alive.
Stranded is just one of many compelling foreign-language dramas available via Walter Presents, which highlights top-rated, award-winning shows picked by Italian TV producer, Walter Iuzzolino, whose TV credits include Professor T, Bookish and The Couple Next Door.
