The Watcher (Television Show, 2022)

October Challenge Day 15

Oh yeah! When I first heard about this true story and THEN heard there were talks about turning this wild story into a movie, it was instantly on my radar. Imagine my delight when I received an email notification alerting me to "...there's a new arrival you might like ...".

Hell yeah, let the binge watching commence for:



Folks, when I first heard about this story - seriously, check out the Casefile episode here - it blew my mind! 

And this new Netflix series release did a mighty fine job capturing the quirks, scares, and straight up bonkers elements. Elaborated at times, even cheeky and goofy (particularly with the social climate as of late), nevertheless, it still entertains. 

With a star-studded cast, and the flavors of American Horror Story that we all know and love, I fully endorse binge watching this one - with one little caveat: it lags a little in the middle. Just roll with it.

Now, if you're new to this story, here's a quick recap (of both the real story and the show):

A family puts everything they own (money, etc) into purchasing a grand old house in an inclusive and quirky neighborhood. Things are stressful but they're sure they'll make it and settle in alright soon. 

NOPE

Someone calling themselves The Watcher is sending the family strange and disturbing letters - alluding to blood, watching the children, and other more sinister things. Very disturbing things, to say the least, anytime let alone when you move into a big old house in a new neighborhood.  

Yeah, this is a fun show. An excellent way to wind down the evening and spark that classic 1930's/1940's whodunit feels.  

Best watched curled up on the couch, bring lots of blankets - pairs with popcorn and your favorite drink. 

As of today, this show is exclusively on Netflix.
