    The Watcher has its moments of suspense and fear. But overall, it does not create enough intrigue nor sense to construct a satisfying ending or storyline.

    The Watcher provides the viewer with a spine chilling story with great performances and thrilling sequences that makes you want to keep watching to find out the mystery in the end. Unfortunately, there's too many convenient coincidences and times when you're confused as to why the main characters aren't looking into a certain lead or not asking the obvious questions when they arise.

Unfortunately, there's too many convenient coincidences and times when you're confused as to why the main characters aren't looking into a certain lead or not asking the obvious questions when they arise. If the writers ironed out some of those rough spots in the story I believe this would have been one of my favorite mini series that would have been on the same level with Harlan Coben's mystery thrillers.… Expand

    Once again, another promising Ryan Murphy project, falling into the same old trap of starting strong and ending in shreds. Frankly speaking, I think Murphy should seriously consider caring less about how charming a set looks and pay more attention to the storyline, assuring that it does make an iota of sense.

    It’s the first really good drama series Murphy has made since leaving Fox for Netflix in 2018. And that’s thanks in large part to a serpentine plot that lays the groundwork for an exhilaratingly inconclusive finale.

    “The Watcher” may be Ryan Murphy’s best Netflix series, but the Murphy-isms wear thin.

    If I rarely found myself intensely engaged, I never found myself bored, either.
