The Watcher: Miniseries

"I’d be staggered if anyone can remember a single thing about it come Christmas."

"The Watcher is made by people who don’t trust their audience."

"It’s all a bit heightened and hysterical, but engaging enough if you don’t take it too seriously."

"Watching The Watcher is undeniably a rush, so much so that even when certain plot twists don’t make sense... it doesn’t even matter."

"After awhile, the sense that anything is possible comes to mean that nothing surprises us..."

"With Murphy and Brennan at the helm, it becomes more campy than tense, and even a stellar cast can’t save the show from itself."

"The Watcher does work on one level: it’s very funny. How much of its humour is intentional isn’t quite clear."

"(It is) too straight-faced for sheer juicy fun and too silly for any real profundity."

"The (supporting) actors seem to be in on a joke that nobody thought to share with the two leads."
