The Watcher: Season 1 <\/strong><\/em>(2022)<\/p>\n Directors:\u00a0 Ryan Murphy\u00a0<\/strong>(episodes 1, 3); Paris Barclay<\/strong> (episodes 2, 4); Jennifer Lynch<\/strong> (episodes 5, 7); Max Winkler<\/strong> (episode 6)<\/p>\n Teleplay: Ryan Murphy & Ian Brennan\u00a0<\/strong>(episodes 1 – 5); Ian Brennan<\/strong> & Reilly Smith<\/strong> (episode 6); Ian Brennan<\/strong> & Reilly Smith<\/strong> & Todd Kubrak<\/strong> & Ryan Murphy<\/strong> (episode 7)<\/p>\n Stars: Naomi Watts, Bobby Cannavale, Mia Farrow<\/strong>, Terry Kinney<\/strong>, Henry Hunter Hall, Isabel Gravitt, Luke David Blumm, Jennifer Coolidge, Christopher McDonald, Noma Dumezweni, Margo Martindale, Richard Kind, Seth Gabel, Michael Nouri <\/strong>and Susan Merson<\/strong> Tagline: None.<\/p>\n The Plot\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n Soon after Dean, Nora and their two kids move into their beautiful dream house, anonymous threatening letters begin to arrive.\u00a0 As the letters become more menacing, it becomes clear that whoever is sending them has access to their house.\u00a0 The letters contain information about their kids, private conversations and are always signed The Watcher<\/em>.<\/p>\n The police are unable to help.\u00a0 Dean and Nora install a new security system. It doesn’t stop the strange events.\u00a0 The letters keep coming.\u00a0 As Dean and Nora become more paranoid, every neighbor becomes a suspect.\u00a0 They cannot sell the house because they mortgaged everything to afford the place.<\/p>\n Who is The Watcher<\/em>?\u00a0 What does he\/she want?<\/p>\n Thoughts (beware of spoilers)\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n The Watcher<\/em> is based on real events.\u00a0 A family purchased their dream home and began receiving threatening letters from a stalker who signed off as The Watcher<\/em>.\u00a0 The family ultimately sold the house at almost a $400,000 loss and moved out of town!\u00a0 The Watcher<\/em> was originally conceived as a limited one season series.\u00a0 Thanks to good ratings, a second season was ordered.<\/p>\n I enjoyed The Watcher<\/em>.\u00a0 For me the journey was better than the destination.\u00a0 In all fairness, I thought this was a limited series of one and done.\u00a0 Therefore I was looking for a definite conclusion.\u00a0 I’m not sure if the ending was the one planned or if it changed due to a second season order.<\/p>\n The Watcher<\/em> is extremely well cast. Mia Farrow is perfect as an irritating, crazy neighbor. Jennifer Coolidge is a scene stealer as the unlikeable “friend”.\u00a0 Naomi Watts and Bobby Cannavale are excellent as the leads.\u00a0 Familiar faces show up in supporting roles: Terry (Oz<\/em>) Kinney, Christopher (Family Law<\/em>) McDonald, Margo (Justified<\/em>) Martindale; Richard (Spin City<\/em>) Kind and Michael (Flashdance<\/em>) Nouri.\u00a0 I’d never seen Noma Dumezweni and Henry Hunter Hall before, but will be watching for them in the future.<\/p>\n The story has twists and turns in every episode.\u00a0 As the tension increases, so do mistakes made by Nick and Nora as far as blaming the wrong (?) people.\u00a0 As unbelievable as the twists become, because the story is based on a real incident and because the acting is so good, I went with it.\u00a0 The Watcher<\/em> was a fun ride.\u00a0 I just wish the final episode was more satisfying… but then again, that might have negated the need for a season two.<\/p>\n The Watcher <\/strong><\/em>earns 4 of 5 stars.<\/span><\/p>\n The Watcher: Season 1 (2022) Directors:\u00a0 Ryan Murphy\u00a0(episodes 1, 3); Paris Barclay (episodes 2, 4); Jennifer Lynch (episodes 5, 7);<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":912,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[17,53,50,74],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-31415","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-celebs","category-horror","category-tv","category-z-view"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31415","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/912"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=31415"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31415\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":31416,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31415\/revisions\/31416"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=31415"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=31415"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=31415"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
