    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. 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'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

    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.
