Ok so me and friend watched Jeffrey Dahmer series last week and I thought it was great but omg we started into the naomi watts series last night 'the watcher' and it's another little beauty. I'm hooked.

Based on a true story as well. Mr Ballen did a story on it on his YouTube channel a while ago.

Thank you! I'm home alone this afternoon, so that's me sorted. Grin

It's on my list for after Liar. It sure if I'm brave enough though. I only get a chance to watch series when dc are at their dads and I'm alone 😬

Just started episode 3. So far so good!

Is it scary? I loved Dahmer but can't cope with too much suspense/scary stuff.

What is your AIBU question @cutthelawn ?

Can’t wait for some wag to call me “thread police” or tell me to “grow up”

You sound pleasant 😆

But PP is correct, it's not an AIBU, is it? At the very least go post in Chat. Tired of seeing non-AIBU in here, obviously a lot of people can't seem to read the topic name...it really isn't that difficult.

AMDB5 · 16/10/2022 14:05

We've watched two episodes, very good so far

I wouldn't open the letters, just rip them up lol

A580Hojas · 16/10/2022 14:05

There is a TV topic.

thread here as well

A580Hojas · 16/10/2022 14:06

There is also a thread on it in the Telly Addicts topic so people on both threads are missing out by not seeing what other people think.

Yabu.

ZellyFitzgerald · 16/10/2022 14:11

I've just started watching this and am 10 minus in on episode 1...

What's with all the neutral clothes they're wearing? All white and beige.... something strange is going on already 😂

ElEmEnOhPee · 16/10/2022 14:35

YABU - the ending makes the whole think not worth watching IMO.

BetsyBigNose · 16/10/2022 15:15

I've just finished it and was disappointed. I know it's supposed to be based on a true story, but they could have just made an ending up, since there basically isn't one - it feels like the series is an episode short!

Tomanycarrots · 16/10/2022 15:21

yanbu on two counts 1) it is brilliant 2) by posting on yabu more people can appreciate a great show

but the thread police are here 🚨so put your tin hat on now op

Panauchocolat25 · 16/10/2022 15:22

But that's part of the mystery of it! I'm glad they didn't just make up a fake ending when it's based on a true story.

cutthelawn · 16/10/2022 16:34

Not really, more gripping and suspensful. Naomi Watts is in fine form although I am suprised her husband takes centre stage as she is the big name in it and one of the executive producers.

Yes! I wouldn't expect a fancy arsed, twisty ending if it was a true story. Glad they didn't embroider it.

It's ridiculous. No one would stay in a house that long with those problems!

frankie001 · 19/10/2022 20:10

@Poppyseed14 always nice to see another strange, dark and mysterious fan!

Really. I thought it was shockingly bad. Typical over inflated Netflix. Needed a decent edit. And I couldn't take the main actor seriously. Like a plank with ridiculous eyebrows.

And Mia Farrow with that American Gothic look

Sad for the ferret though.

And breathe lol

followacrowforacrust · 20/10/2022 07:28

Started off great and then just got ridiculous. Couldn’t finish it. Dire.
