What people are saying
A written summary appears once the title has a score.
Critics, per Wikipedia
The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported a 56% approval rating with an average rating of 5.5/10, based on 34 critic reviews. The website's critics consensus reads, "This suburban nightmare sometimes achieves the campy fright of creator Ryan Murphy's best horror fare, but it sprawls in too many ludicrous directions to satisfy." Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned a score of 54 out of 100 based on 8 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews". Daniel D'Addario of Variety summarized the show as "ultimately unremarkable fiction."

Am I still fucking annoyed at how annoying some people were in the Watcher comment sections during BSG's final season? No idea what you're talking about, hmm, will ponder:

"OK, Diana. This is your shot. Time to show 'em why you're a 3 time Starlight Nominee."

neutral · AI labelView post →I understand why people hate what Jeff Loeb did with the Red Hulk storyline but having The Watcher show up out of nowhere just so he could beat the shit out of him and then go back to fighting Hulk like nothing happened is one of the funniest ever bits of absurd character glazing
neutral · AI labelView post →Why do does the Watcher only watch? "Because you took an oath!" No, but other than that, why the non-interference? Can you show us reasons why this end up going badly? "Because that's what Watchers do!" Ah. Got it, yes. 🫠

neutral · AI labelView post →"The Watcher" was been renewed almost immediately, but the world had given up hope so completely that it appears that Netflix submitted it for Emmys (in 2023) as a limited series. Or at least that's where it got its Emmy nom for contemporary costumes. You remember those contemporary costumes!

negative · AI labelView post →I watched "The Watcher in the Woods" and realised how much better Disney was at making movies when they had no money. #filmsky #movies #letterboxd #horror letterboxd.com/reddear/film...
positive · AI labelView post →Today, it could be a 6-issue mini-series -- it features most of Marvel's villains of the era and cameos the other super-teams -- but even if you take the Watcher out, it's still basically a What If set in 1964, and I'm not sure how to frame that in a way people would buy it.

neutral · AI labelView post →Working on The Watcher series and leaning hard into "invisible" horror. Think cold spots, phantom breaths, and things moving an inch when your eyes are closed. 👁️ Does seeing the monster ruin the mystery for you, or do you need the reveal? #WritingCommunity #HorrorSky

neutral · AI labelView post →No, the real case that inspired The Watcher occurred in Westfield, NJ. In 2014, a family known as the Broadduses received a series of creepy letters from an unknown person calling himself “The Watcher” after purchasing the home. Despite police & FBI investigations, his identity was never determined.
neutral · AI labelView post →Been doing this massive MCU catch up in ahead of Doomsday. One of the things that I've been loving is Marvel's solution to "replace" the Stan Lee cameos by sneaking in Uatu the Watcher surveilling over the MCU in new series and movies. Daredevil Born Again's subtle appearance being my favorite.

neutral · AI labelView post →God, I forgot how deranged that first season of UPN was. Sir-Mix-A-Lot starred in The Watcher, who was just a voyeur spying on the people of Las Vegas. He wasn't a hero or anything. Just a dude with a closed circuit feed, to set up an anthology series.
neutral · AI labelView post →Cannot believe how much I'm enjoying a Ryan Murphy show but The Watcher is SO much fun. Stacked as hell cast, Murphy is at his best when restricted by an established narrative, and my grandma is from Westfield so lmao yeah this all makes sense to me for that place
positive · AI labelView post →I have read very little Phantom Stranger but for whatever reason I always thought he'd function well as like the "host" of an anthology series. Like the Crypt Keeper, or even the Watcher over on "What If"
neutral · AI labelView post →There was another anthology series a few years before that called 'The Watcher' which was narrated by fucking SIR MIX-A-LOT, and it's maddening it's never been re-released.
neutral · AI labelView post →I’ve seen a lot of people pointing this potential Easter egg, for the last few days. Glad it’s finally been confirmed by someone official from the show. Uatu (The Watcher) has pretty much become the new Stan Lee, appearing all over the MCU.😁👏 #DaredevilBornAgain #WhatIf
neutral · AI labelView post →A new module and character creation guide for the Eye of the Watcher series for Shadowdark RPG are well underway! #shadowdark #ttrpg #osr
neutral · AI labelView post →I always got that impression. No other series at this point is over 20 pages and SS is 50 if you count the short Tales of the Watcher back ups. 18 is a weird number to end it so the sales were probably really bad. I think it could've lasted if he didn't make his passion project so expensive.
neutral · AI labelView post →I'm excited about my next book in the Watcher Clan series. A new character just inserted herself into the story. A nosy but nice neighbor. She has a beautiful Maine Coon cat just like our baby who died. Gave him Jasper's name. Do you ever have characters muscle their way into your stories?

neutral · AI labelView post →What If? s3e5 Although, as The Watcher admits, this episode breaks the basic conceit of the series, it's among the very best episodes in the whole run. *Gorgeous* animation, visual acting, and choreography; live-action actors who nailed the transition to voice; a nice intimate self-contained story;
