Following Dahmer, Ryan Murphy is back with The Watcher on Netflix.
Continuing that multi, multi, multi million dollar deal with Netflix comes another true crime story.
Based on the true story of a married couple who, after moving into their dream home in Westfield, New Jersey, are harassed by letters signed by a stalker named The Watcher.
The miniseries landed last week. I got sucked in, smashing the entire seven addictive episodes in the entire weekend from Friday to Sunday night.
The Watcher based on a 2018 article for New York's "The Cut" by Reeves Wiedeman.
Starring Naomi Watts as Nora Brannock & Bobby Cannavale as Dean Brannock this latest true crime story while being addictive, has a massively disappointing ending, leaving the viewer feeling robbed. Feeling time poor after watching yet another Ryan Murphy vanity project, you do feel ripped off by the ending.
No spoilers here, however don't hate me if you get to the end, thinking what on Earth did I just sit through.
It sucks you in, treats you like a chump at the end, then you just want to move onto the next pre-Summer drama.
True crime and horror are all the rage right now. Tomorrow it's back to the cinema with some more horror. Come back to find out what horror film I sat through. For now, The Watcher streams all seven (less than an hour each) episodes on Netflix. For more Ryan Murphy for all those suckers out there like me, American Horror Story returns this week.
