The Watcher is founded on the real-life mystery of a couple that was stalked by an anonymous figure after moving into their dream home. The series is thrilling, yet sometimes meanders with subplots that detract from the mystery at its center. A movie format would have permitted the quicker unraveling of intrigue and refocused more on the creeping dread and building tension and suspense involved with the mysterious letters. The final reveal might have affected emotions more positively with a narrative structure that could have been compressed more.
