Review of The Watcher

The Watcher (2022– )
6/10
Shades of John E. List
15 October 2022
Warning: Spoilers
As I listened to the private eye explain the history of the house, I realized that I knew that story. It was the story of the family annihilator John List. The family she described was his family, right down to being Lutherans. The deaths of his family, were the deaths of John List's family. His losing his job, and having a house his mother bought for them. Etc. Etc. Etc. All from the John List story. But, this wasn't his story!

It's only the 3rd episode, so the List murders are only the foundation for this mystery. It will be interesting to see where it goes from here. But, I'm disappointed because the writer(s) stealing the background story doesn't suggest that he/she has much imagination. Why they didn't just say the family was named List and go on from there? It would be more honest. But, this is supposed to be a true story.

The acting is good, though the story has strange twists that don't make sense. I won't go into them here. I think this story had a great potential, but, so far, it's just fair.
