People keep saying “watch”.

A lot of people watch people on Netflix The Observer. You know because you see them watching, but also because they say things like, “I’m watching you.” Also, someone is watching the family at the heart of the recent show, created by Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan, and on Reeves Wiedeman’s 2018 based new York magazine article”The haunting of a dream house.” Or maybe it’s multiple people contributing to the passive-aggressive terror inflicted on the Brannocks after they move into a beautiful home in Westfield, New Jersey. Start getting letters from “The Watcher” and also find strangers in their house.

Although they enlist the help of the local police, a private investigator and a real estate agent played by Jennifer Coolidge, nobody is really very helpful. This leads to the Brannock patriarch Dean (Bobby Cannavale) being stunned and saying: “What?,‘ much of the knowledge of a new lead that will inevitably lead to a dead end, and his wife Nora (Naomi Watts), who looks slightly away from the camera in subtle terror. The breaks are pregnant with demon babies. If only there were real demon babies to make this show exciting. Instead, Nora becomes an art star through her in a subplot extremely simple, Pottery Barn-ass Vases.

And yet, I observe The Observer. I looked at all of that. One episode after the other. They got me! If you don’t want to be spoiled, look away now, but I think you should be spoiled, because the show goes from intriguing to annoying and then annoying when this story turns out to have no resolution for all its maybes and suspects. The case is still unsolved was said. As true as that may be, solve your show! lie to us Tie everything together and send us on our way, what else have we only spent six hours doing? (Shoutout to Mia Farrow, who plays her role as a busybody obsessed with the preservation of the Brannock home with far more enthusiasm than this project deserves. What a pro!)

Unhelpful is the distinct sense of progress as what could have been a tight two-hour film is split into a “limited series”. And without the kind of repetition in the supercut from down on people The Observer When saying “The Watcher” and other forms of the word “watch,” none of these may be possible. Enjoy?
