Why was The Watcher a great disappointment for the viewers?

 


The Watcher was an up-and-coming show on Netflix. It promised horror and suspense… and I was excited to watch it.

It starts in a very typical way: a family moves to a new house, a great deal, and in a few days, they realize that it was too good to be true.

Catchy

The new house that isn’t as great as they thought can make you feel that it is a bit of a cliche, yet you are hooked in no time.

The story starts very well, leaves you curious, and has the potential for binge-watching. The first episodes are terrific, and you get high expectations about the show. Too high…

The problem is that the story is disturbing, as it should, but it doesn’t develop.

Great Cast

One of the best things about this show is the cast. They are excellent, credible, and engaging. 

The one I didn’t think was a good character was the private detective, yet Noma Dumezweni’s performance was flawless. 

Disappointment

The Watcher starts well, with a good story, able to grab your attention, but then… it leads to nowhere. The end is not really an end; the only thing you get is a big disappointment.

It was interesting to watch, but in the end, The Watcher felt like a waste of time - a big mystery with no solution.

Review: Billie Eilish: Unfiltered – A Shallow, Soulless Recap Pretending to Be a Documentary

  Rating: ★☆☆☆☆ (1/5) If you're expecting Billie Eilish: Unfiltered to offer an intimate look into the life, artistry, or creative process of one of Gen Z’s most influential pop icons, prepare to be disappointed.  This so-called documentary barely scratches the surface, delivering little more than a dry, lifeless rundown of Billie Eilish 's discography, awards, and chart performances. At best, it's a glorified Wikipedia entry with background music. At worst, it’s a wasted hour of potential. Unfiltered? The documentary lacks narrative depth, personal insight, or any meaningful exploration of who Billie Eilish is beyond her resume. Rather than providing behind-the-scenes footage, raw interviews, or critical commentary, Unfiltered relies on a monotonous narrator reeling off her achievements like items on a grocery list. There are occasional quotes from Billie herself, but they’re so brief and context-free they feel like filler material. For a documentary claiming to be “u...

Raising Voices - Why Alma's Mom Had the Right Reaction

  In Netflix’s Raising Voices , there's a raw, emotionally charged moment when Alma confesses to her mom that something happened the night she disappeared — she was drunk, she had sex, and something didn’t feel right. It’s the kind of moment that many parents dread. But Alma’s mom handled it in a way that deserves attention. She didn’t panic. She didn’t judge. She didn’t lose control. Instead, she met her daughter halfway, which made all the difference. What Happened in the Scene? When Alma opened up to her mom, she wasn’t just confessing — she was testing the waters for safety. Could she trust her mom with the truth? Would she still be loved after saying something shameful, scary, or confusing? Her mom’s response wasn’t perfect — but it was real. She was concerned, but didn’t explode. She asked questions. She listened. She let the moment breathe. Why That Reaction Matters Technically, what Alma described can be considered sexual assault , given her level of intoxication. Bu...
