Freeform’s TheWatchfulEye is a story in search of something more to sink its teeth into. Our review:
What would you get if you took the premise of murder and mystery of Only Murders in the Building, stripped it of its humor, crossed it all with some of the elements of the spectacular series Servant, and gave it more of a trashy thriller sensibility? Well, it would probably look and feel a little bit like The Watchful Eye. However, this series is not nearly as fun as that description makes it sound.
So why would she want to work such a job? Well, Elena has a scheme of her own for which this job is merely a cover. This secret she carries with her ends up being nothing like what she will uncover in this insulated world that is hiding a series of deaths that will bring the past and the present perilously close together. At least, that is what it is meant to be in theory.
This hope for something a bit more imaginative soon proves to be a lost cause, as The Watchful Eye is only ever just rearranging characters and story elements. Sure, there are occasional moments where it will dip into the supernatural, like when they suddenly bust out a ouija board, but it mostly is just a clunky manner by which to deliver exposition. These moments are certainly unexpected, but they are without any weight to them.
