THE WATCHER – Loosely based on a true story (keyword loosely), this NetFlix miniseries tells the tale of a family who bought a house in Westfield, NJ, back in 2014 and promptly began receiving ominous letters from an unknown neighbor. In the series, a reign of terror ensues, disrupting the homeowners’ lives and causing chaos in the community. In reality, the homeowners never moved into the house once they received the letters. About the only thing the two stories have in common is the identity of The Watcher remains a mystery. Apparently the show is all the rage since it dropped last week and is wreaking havoc in the lives of the current homeowners and the owners of the house in Rye, NY, which stood in for the real house during filming. Fans are flocking to both locations in droves. Personally, the show is far-fetched and not all that interesting, but I watched the whole bit in order to discover the culprit posing as The Watcher. As I said, my persistence went unrewarded. Kelly ducked out after one episode exclaiming “People please. No way this is a true story.” She was right. Boyfriends/Girlfriends – zip.
