	Author	Review
United States	Jen Chaney Vulture	"An addictive work of television that invites us to examine our own frivolous, sometimes dangerous addictions."	POS
United States	Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"They might get you to watch, but they didn’t take the time to make something worth remembering (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	Jonathon Wilson Ready Steady Cut	"Ryan Murphy delivers another eminently binge-able true-crime story, though thankfully without the exploitative ickiness of his recent work (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Joel Keller Decider	"In another producers hands, 'The Watcher' could have been a taut, tense thriller. But 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"	NEG
United States	Kristen Lopez IndieWire	"'The Watcher' feels half-baked because the true scary story at its center is quickly disregarded."	NEU
United States	Stephan Lee The Wrap	"A joyless camp fest (...) If you know anything about the actual story, it’s hard to find anything to enjoy even in the fun performances"	NEG
Denmark	Karina Adelgaard Heaven of Horror	"With an amazing cast, a story that’ll scare most people, and a crazy development, you’ll want to check this out (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Angie Han The Hollywood Reporter	"A singularly striking story has been transformed into just another ripped-from-the-headlines drama in an endless sea of content, neither bad enough to sink to the bottom nor good enough to float to the top."	NEU
United States	Daniel D'Addario Variety	"unrelatable, ultimately unremarkable fiction"	NEG
United Kingdom	Stuart Heritage The Guardian	"A powerfully Murphyish watch (...) If you like his shows, you will love this. If you don’t? Hey, at least it’s better than that godawful Jeffrey Dahmer thing (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Valerie Ettenhofer Film School Rejects	"If you have to choose between watching 'The Watcher' and watching something else, there are plenty of shows out there that are more thoughtful, artful, and entertaining than this one"	NEG
