    Really creepy and fun to watch. I would say this is the best we've seen from shyamalan since early 2000's, and definitely the best Apple TV+ show to this date. Give it a shot if you got the free 1 year subscription from Apple.

    Great show once you start watching you can’t stop. Really keeps you guessing and excellent acting.

    It’s not a ten but I’m hoping to boost the rating because it’s well acted, written and directed unlike all the other shows on Apple TV.

    As the reviewer above said, this one's the best series from Apple so far. It moves to its own rhythm and requires attention from the viewer, which may have put some people off, but it's beautifully shot, attention to detail is impeccable and, best of all, the writing is excellent. Can't recomment this unique series highly enough.

    I could only make it through one episode. The premise sounds fascinating. And after reading the synopsis for the first few episodes I was all ready to love this show. But the two main characters, the husband and wife, are absolutely insufferable. The husband is an impotent jackass who slouches around his house in an old flannel. The wife is neurotic and dominating, and over-acts like she'sI could only make it through one episode. The premise sounds fascinating.

The husband is an impotent jackass who slouches around his house in an old flannel. The wife is neurotic and dominating, and over-acts like she's some sort of period piece. The camera insists on getting right up into these two people's faces as they talk, and neither one is the least bit attractive. I guess I'll just stick to reading the episode synopsis on wikipedia.… Expand

    Servant parece ser dos series o ideas diferentes pegadas por la mitad. Los primeros cinco episodios son muy buenos, mientras que los cinco siguientes se salen totalmente de la trama original.

    Sigue siendo una producción buena, con actuaciones decentes, excelente fotografía y dirección de cámaras, y un gran diseño de set.

    Loved every second of the weird and off putting vibe this show offers. Kept me entertained throughout. Must watch.

    A creepy, slow-burn psychological thriller that deals with the supernatural, loss & grief.
    The 30 min episode work perfectly in building the tension and have you hanging, in this beautifully shot series.
    One of 2019's best shows.

    Despite the fabulous looks at wine and a late season, ominous, and very muddy and wet appearance by Boris McGiver in Episode 6, I cannot think of a good reason to invite "Servant" into your orbit for more than a few minutes, to say nothing of checking in over multiple weeks.

    Seemingly inspired by "Rosemary's Baby," there's no recovering from the worm-ridden nature of its concept, which starts off fuzzy and weird and doesn't get much clearer over time.

    All of this works better if you watch it as a comedy or whatever genre bucket you think Shyamalan belongs in. Indeed, if you try to watch Servant as a horror show, or a suspenseful thriller, I think you’ll be disappointed and even a bit bored. ... Whether Servant can deliver on this promising start, only time will tell.
