Top 10 Things Netflix's The Watcher Got Factually Right & Wrong

This was really bad. The show, I mean. Hated it.

Wasted my time watching this series.... Ugh. Netflops....😂

I was born and raised in a town next to Westfield. I passed this house many times over the years. The Netflix story line is fictional. The homeowners never moved into the house. The letters were received while the house was being renovated. The prime suspect was the son of the elderly neighbor. He was interviewed by the police but would not admit to writing the letter and the police did not have enough proof/evidence to arrest him. He died in a hospice center in 2020--2 months after his 99 year old mother died, and a few months after the new owners moved in. The former homeowners purchased another home in Westfield under a LLC, so their new address would remain private. The List family, who lived in Westfield and was murdered by their husband/dad/son is buried 1-2 miles from this house. Whitney Houston, her daughter and father are also buried at this cemetery (Fairview Cemetery).

I was so hoping that the tunnels was real and there usually in real old house in the north east used as part of the Underground Railroad I seen in Boston we use to jack up houses and we did one from the 1700’s and we got it off the old foundation and they found a tunnel that led to nowhere maybe a house across or it was caved in the GC told me

Whoever is behind those letters has made illegal threats. It's strange that the police haven't thoroughly investigated this case because of that. Whoever is behind those letters should be held accountable for what they wrote.

It was good I thought

10 Cameras…. Not a 1 pointed anywhere near the mailbox. Show was garbage after the first episode. Didn’t need to be 7 episodes. My guess is the actual couple wrote the letters themselves to get out of buying the property.

All I know is that whoever pulled this prank is sitting somewhere laughing their ass off. But unfortunately they can't tell anyone.

I honestly though it was a great show! Last episode was sort of disappointing but it had me on edge most the time. When I learned the actual story was completely different I was a little upset but I figured it was dramatized. The only part that genuinely bugged me was the tunnel scene. Like you stumbling on a deep tunnel system in your home where someone clearly was living in but then never mention it again???? I don’t know. Definitely a creative show for Netflix standards but the ending could have been better.

This series was terrible imo

I hate it when a show says "based on a true story" but half of it is made up. It started sort of good but then it got kind of comical at the end and ruined it.

That Karen
I got young blood for her

Does the house have tunnels tho? Was that right?

😆...so hardly anything is accurate.

They have more fiction then facts this show need to be off Netflix

did anyone else think the therapist at the end sounded like the watcher!?

if a family of 5 moved in from texas, this watcher shit is over real quick

I love how hollywood does virtue signalling, lecturing and various appropiations IN A FKING MYSTERY RELATED STORY

Big waste of time, HUGE!

I just finished it today.

SO THIS MOVIE IS A CROCK OF SHIT . JUST HOLLYWOOD TWISTING REALITY FOR A DOLLAR .

So all of the parts that made no sense to me, were made up?

The board rejected the "2-home-proposal" by the developer. Now the neighborhood has company everyday, congratulations! $🤑$

No, im watching this

I thought the show was dumb. Over done on every level. Why can’t anyone make a decent show these days. Just so overdone. The actors weren’t that good either

They did a poor job

Stupid show.

I live 3 towns away from Westfield and worked in the town for a short period of time. It’s nothing like how it’s portrayed on the show. It’s an incredibly tight knit community, how a beautiful downtown and great parks. If it wasn’t so expensive I would’ve moved there

I stumbled across this show, but I actually liked it. Had no idea of the original story so I had a blank slate 🤷🏾‍♂️

Why does the watcher sound like that chimera girl

If the "Watcher" was never found...Why the FK would A...They make a show about it ? B...What is the point in watching it ?...You wouldn't buy a ticket for a football game and leave at half time.

Started episode 1 and stopped when I knew something was probably going to happen to the ferret. Looked up online to see which episode it was going to happen in. Then, I decided to just watch the recap and review of the whole thing so as not to waste 7 hours. I'm glad I did!

its a show, its funny that anyone would compare its likeness to the real story

Stupid series

Waisted almost 7 hours of my life 🥴

Just finished watching the show, it was slow at first but after episode 2 it gets more interesting.

Another stupid series that i have watched and just have no ending or any explanation. Just stupid. Don't watch

Worst show I have ever tried to watch. Completely horrific 👎

This properties it's costly, priced $105,0000 one hundreds five millions dollars, today standard yrs, 2023s

This must have been before Ring doorbells 😂 The "Watcher" would get posted on nextdoor for all their neighbors to roast

It doesn’t bother me that it takes liberties with the true story or that it can be really campy at points (casserole mention-- is it purposefully making us think of the parody series The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window?). What makes this series bad is the way it has characters tell too much without showing, which makes the show slower and kind of boring for a thriller. Second, why would they dress Dean in a full beige suit if there isn't meaning in the color scheme? Just so many missed opportunities in this show!

I was hoping you would use some Buzzfeed Unsolved footage and I am not disappointed.

So Derek was the watcher. He didnt want to keep the house so he made the letters to convince his wife to not move in and sell. My guess is he regretted the buy.

The best part was when watcher said : why so serious? As he held his victim hostage

I’ve always wanted to watch this show but I just never got around to it. I’ve heard of the real story and it’s so creepy to think of someone watching you and your house.

I enjoyed it very much

It's the zodiac killer.

This is a ridiculous "click bait" post.
For idiots. Who do not understand Anything about possible lawsuits. If someone "is inspired by" an event, they cannot use Anything that makes the source clear without facing possible lawsuits. They MUST change details.
Thought that every intelligent individual already knew this.
