Naomi Watts says TheWatcher 'really got me' and hopes audiences will find the new series 'freaky.'
is a Netflix limited series based on a disturbing true story about a real-life family who purchased their dream home in the idyllic suburb of Westfield, New Jersey, but after spending all of their savings on the house, quickly realize the neighborhood is something less than welcoming—or a littlewelcoming, depending on your perspective.
“The show definitely makes you think about safety and security, particularly in a time like today where we all doubled down and invested in our homes during COVID,” said Watts. “Our homes became our safe haven and we connected to our neighbors. We relied on the kindness of strangers. So to have all that put into question for that family is all the more terrifying.”
“What I love about the show is that there's something underneath, there’s more to the plot than just being a thriller and a mystery. It’s an aspirational story about a family that has worked hard,” said Cannavale. “Some people might have different ideas of what the American dream is. It depends on what you are bringing to it. I would hope that when the show is over, you sit back and question what really is important to you.
The rise and popularity of true-crime shows can be in part credited to Murphy. The critically lauded creator has taken psychological stories about the darkest of human behavior and made them appeal to a mass audience. “He’s a real auteur. I think he has a really unique take on culture and on the zeitgeist of the moment,” said Cannavale. “Nobody else is able to do what Ryan has done. His work really resonates with a large population and that’s a really unique talent to have.
