Just finished 'The Watcher' on NF. It is an interest show, not a great show. My opinion is that the writers tried to get too clever for themselves and wound up chasing their tail. Like a frayed rope, so many plot threads develop and lead to a dead-end. It is weird that way.
Could have easily been just a normal movie, in fact it may have been better like that. It is a more-or-less simplistic story which is vastly over complicated with unnecessary suspense, twists and turns which go nowhere, interjected into the primary plot-line.
I will not say it was a waste of time. It was interesting and kept me coming back for the next dose. It was just disappointing. Mostly because I could see bones of really great tale, poorly executed. They outsmarted themselves trying to make a Hitchcock style suspense horror film in my opinion.
In the end, it comes down to a shoulder shrug, muttering 'It was Ok.'
