Utter garbage. Boring as hell. Trailer is all you need to waste your time on. Some big names don’t make a bad plot good… 5 jump scares, all cramped into a decent looking trailer. This arrogant family who feels too good for their downtown NYC apartment (next to common folk) deserves much worse than some letters.

Yeah I think there is still something weird about that we’ll never know about. Like the John Graff story that Theodora said was fabricated, and Roger questioning him.

That was the point of here story, from a narrative perspective. To show to viewers how all could have a reasonable and conclusive explanation. Especially since it had an open end, it gives a sense of resolution, even though there is no resolution in the actual story. It is also satisfying to skeptics, like detective Scully reasonable explanations in X-files

Nah it's creepier that way

@@Alkis05 they wanted it to remain a mystery after pulling our strings all the way through it. When Nora and Dean visited the detective in the hospital, she asked Nora what was wrong. Nora explained, "It's Dean... he's really... really losing it. He's got the whole wall of suspects up again at the apartment." Then the detective responds, "I have seen that happen... a mystery you can't seem to solve. It will drive you crazy. It's... the human condition. That need to know... not knowing. That's the killer." The writers were playing off of this idea the whole time. The human condition. They want us to feel how Dean was feeling... by not being able to really figure out who was who.

Also, never supported him when it came to their family, "what is wrong with you?" when he'd get upset with the daughter about sneaking around and such (which if she denied to him but was doing just that), or his confrontations with the security guy. Lol and every time, Nora still held to her disdain and disbelief of her husband's actions. Also, her being upset with him still even after the security guy essentially cleared Dean from actually having sex with the girl in the video, much less knowing who she even was, and neither Nora or the daughter ever apologized to Dean for their behavior regarding any of it.

Nice one

I thought of that

I watched this series ages ago so i could be wrong, but wasn't there a scene where Dean & Nora chased the supposed "Watcher" wearing a black cloak through the tunnels and at the end, Bill aka the fake John knocked on a wooden door saying to Pearl "They're onto us now"?

@@xuserakx that's correct

I think John is living in the tunnel. Remember the bed and small room down there. If he did in fact kill his family, maybe that’s where he’s been hiding out.

Kind of like real life, eh

Great review

Nah I think it's a masterpiece

This was based on a true story, the characters were depicted as they were in the real life story. It did an amazing job portraying the real life unsolved mystery.

I've got some theories. Dean said John because it was the first name that came to mind maybe as they mention before "it's a common name". Nora was worried about Dean losing it that's why she was following him to make sure he didn't do anything crazy. The part about Roger knowing John I don't really know tho...

My theory is that the house causes everyone to lose their minds, basically cause the neighbourhood is obsessed with that house due to the majority of them having done that critically acclaimed lessons of ode to a house. A psycho house obsessed generation of students that in that hood loved that house. Then dean and Nora get the house being from out of town and the neighborhood started they’re antics which toward the end cause the family to have PTSD and dean ends up like the neighbours by not letting go of the house as it was a signature of a failure in his life and contributes to driving the next family out. Kind of like a chain letter concept

The real case is unsolved so the writers just come up with bullshit and can basically get away with anything

@@darcymusicpy4274 I don’t think Nora knew Dean was there. Since we saw Andrew in front of the house in the ending scene, it’s more likely that the house drives the owners crazy and now Dean and Nora are obsessed with it too.

Was she watching to check on dean or was she still obsessed with the house like the others?

Omg you’re a damn genius

I feel like it was obvious that it was pearl and that John guy… they had secret passages through the house it seems like it could of been them writing the letters the whole time? Idk

@@stevenfast5764 theories like this aren't usually true. We will probably see a continue proving all of this wrong

@@christianbarth5792 "they're on to us!"

@@christianbarth5792 i feel the same, it was definitely them that caused the troubles to the owner eventhough i'm still not sure about their intention. John might lived under that house like in Parasite movie, so the noise and mysterious person the owner saw might be him moving around the house at night. Pearl look like she had some kind of mental disorder and she like to be conservative, she might do that just to chase the owner away to keep the house as it was. But the letters are all over the places, even that old lady lived far away from the house also got the same letter from the watcher. it might be the same person, or it might not. For me i feel like it could be anyone.

Yeah she was a great character!

YES!!!!!! And her final conversation with Dean was so 😢😢😢

Ditto. That actress was awesome & would love to see her in more shows & movies!!

literally!!

I started to suspect Theodora as The Watcher, and when she made the confession. 😳😯 But it was a false confession.😐

the craziest thing is they never even addressed that again dumbass writers 😭 created loopholes they couldn't close

Lol Dean was on Thin ice from that point Remember the cop At the station basically threatened to Book Dean if there was any more outbursts from him notice he ain’t snap till they left the house

He should have not broken into her house haha

omg yes

He killed the teacher in the flashback

@@brucel6413 I’m aware this isn’t the same teacher she was dancing with. I’m just curious if she also was “boy crazy” about Roger, who was also a teacher.

and Roger ended up marrying a student, so it would make sense that he might have tried something with another lol

the teacher was killed in his car

And it becomes a vicious circle as the family that is scared out of their home wants to find out who replaced them and stole their dream home, making them the watcher.

Yes 👍

1. Barking up the wrong tree is a subliminal message. Chief Detective dates Karen, the realtor, and she has dog - the dog is killed later in the house, just like Sprinkles. It's also supposed to suggest "alarm" as you, naturally, will imagine a dark barking which is an intense warning signal. Just the thought makes anyone feel jumpier. This adds to the creepiness of finding the dog dead, who never had a chance to bark at the end because that surprise grows. It's a setup for that payoff. 2. It was a subliminal both in narrative and in story. The suspicious neighbor wears pigtails - and this was to show how much they were retreading ground. Karen and Theodora would have seen the neighbor and as such, the mentioning of pigtails is not likely to matter one bit. What does matter however is that we, the audience, know the neighbor has been using the secret passage to shuttle someone. The neighbor has invaded their house, and it's subtly suggesting that Nora subconsciously knows this but can't seem to consciously confront it. This is a simple deduction for her, because while they were in the tunnels you could easily measure the distance to the other houses - and likely knows exactly where that man fled to. She just can't bring herself to really think about it and theodora, the ever logical detective, apparently won't either. Something is mentally shifting their focus to other problems, which is also likely both of them trying to create a form of closure in different ways - Nora tries to submit to denying the need entirely, and Theodora is thinking of other leads that may lead to conclusions instead of the literal dead end the tunnel suggests. Theodora also knows the police chief is apparently so useless as to be unlawful, so she's chasing other leads - because she also just doesn't believe the neighbor is the Watcher. Theodora wears gloves constantly because she's that fastidious, so she doesn't jump to conclusions - or follow dead ends. 3. Karen's sense of smell is a character trait. She drinks heavily, eats heavily, because she's "hungry" to buy the house. Heavily being somewhat healthy, but she talks about food in almost every scene. Vinegar is a subliminal because while it can mean cleaning supplies covering up evidence, it also can smell like unwashed people. That's the subliminal for the creep factor, due to vinegar's ambiguity - but also to suggest she's a fastidious eater. She wants not only to eat, but she's patient and tactical - she wants to do it cleanly. Also if you see Exorcist III, which is a film that was obsessed with subliminals, you can see the correlation between the hooded figures and the style, and those scenes make more sense. There are many details in the show designed to be red herrings, but also 70's style subliminals (see The Shining and Kubrick's work for that) riddle the thing... but most people make the mistake of thinking The Watcher in general has to be one person. The infiltrator (the man we see in the tunnels) is the man we see at the end of the show, who *presumably* killed the dog in that scene... but there's no reason to suggest that even is the person who is writing the letters. If you include that possibility it becomes a lot simpler. We know the tunnels can be accessed by anyone in the neighborhood committee, at the very least, but if you look at the infiltrator's behavior only in the scenes where you see *them* and then simplify odd character behavior to 'who benefits' it also becomes clearer. I suspect if you dig deep enough there's a conclusive character who is writing the letters. My money's on Miko sending the letters. Kaplan makes it clear he can't afford those houses - yet he joins the neighborhood committee on these houses anyway. Kaplan also makes it clear that Miko couldn't even finish her wine after that confrontation and their relationship distress is leading to something more (possibly a divorce), yet at the end of the show we can see Kaplan taking a walk with Miko as she assists him. Miko, having been confronted in the grocery alley, is very likely trying to distance herself from Kaplan so if she's caught he won't take the brunt of it. Miko also says as a student in the past, "Can you write a letter about your own house?" and Kaplan, in his youth, said absolutely not - Miko's obsessed with Kaplan. If she keeps writing notes and the house keeps lowering in value, he likely will be able to get it - and it has a romantic symmetry. Miko's appearance in the last scenes is very conspicuous too, as is the camerawork during that confrontation. They blur her out - but look at her. She looks stirred far deeper than being cornered and she's noted as being outspoken and eager in her younger scenes. The character change isn't subtle. More damning is the timing. Kaplan's last loving letter is sent right before the first creepy letter arrives - only Miko would know that. It could be a coincidence, but if you also listening to the wording of the letters, you can hear a diligent hand in the writing. This suggests a greater narrative - Kaplan got depressed and Miko got angry. I'm pretty sure you could use the process of elimination to figure it out as well, there's many suspects who get eliminated in the few scenes where you see the infiltrator, you can eliminate many many suspects I just finished the series but I'm 100% sure you can objectively figure out who it is using deduction techniques. You just have to ignore ALL the red herrings, you have to throw out a lot of data and just stick to what you know and the timeline presented. You can also use the infiltrator's actual appearance on screen at the end to judge their height and weight. It's important to note that whoever is in that outfit is wearing shoulder pads to obscure sex, but is fairly tall. If you freeze on it you can see the efforts made to make them ambiguous - but the height and the hands opening the floor plate on the stairs are telling. The infiltrator at the end may not have been the one in the tunnels, but you can clearly see the tunnel infiltrator's shoes - and they are male belonging to someone with a slim build and they have a flat sole - it's a dress shoe. That narrows it down considerably. Focus on these clues, not the narrative's presented by the characters who are naturally subjectively biased. Stick to facts you can verify as a viewer. Kaplan's introduction to the group at the end of the show largely excludes him - but moreso the fact that he is the one most likely to know about ALL the tunnel entrances and wouldn't need the committee's assistance. He's not the tunnel infiltrator, as he's too tall and also just plain wouldn't get caught. He may have been kept out of the group officially until late in the timeline, but then why be so confrontational? It's convoluted. Kaplan's a likely suspect due to his absence in most of the show, but his height writes him out often. Keep eliminating suspects and you can narrow it down. Just keep eliminating suspects based on what you know and then ask, "who benefits?". Everyone's got a reason to do things. Oh one last thing - we see an infiltrator using the roof music to draw people away, this is a rope-a-dope. You play the music when you're cornered in the house. You go up, play the music, sneak out the door - this gets you back into the floor room. If you do something in the house, you can't do it and run back to the basement - you have to sneak. This means anytime something happens, they use the cloak to hide - but often let something spooky distract while they escape back into the basement quietly... or the stairwell. That's the reason for all the creepy moments. You could get a host of clues and eliminate more suspects based on this. Bear in mind the infiltrator can change every time, given that "it's a maze of tunnels down there" meaning there's likely more tunnels on tunnels... but if you take each incident and think about what was accomplished during that time, it becomes much clearer. You can absolutely iron out who it was in each scenario (for instance the motel call infiltration would have to be by someone who knew they'd be there, and that limits many suspects). You also have to factor in roof access, because the chimney is notably large enough for someone like say, Kaplan from getting in - or more likely Miko if she was so inclined. Miko I suspect is behind the letters - but also, it could be more than one person considering half the town knew about the letters by the end. The "shotgun" effect of all these suspects is that, very likely, it's more of a merry-go-round scenario than any 1 person, but using these techniques you can determine who it was and when. It helps that many characters builds eliminate them from suspicion - but they are likely letter senders. So the data you have isn't useless, if you ever watch it again I'm sure you will have the "aha" moments as context clues give away who it was, when, and mostly because you'll know "why" and also can eliminate many suspects with the data you have. So enjoy it.

Well the old ginger lady, jaspers sister was talking about trees and how they cummunicate using there roots, maybe "barking up the wrong tree" means her and the "pigtails" was another nod to her since she has pigtails. What if she is the master mind behind the whole thing. even shows us her sitting down with everyone and taking the part off a leader saying that jasper was only the secratary and everyone knows her, maybe somehow she is the big fish.

SEE ME TOO! I thought it was so odd that they all said the same thing but never explored it?…

And why did they show John running through the tunnels and say “they’re onto us” but just end up not exploring that?…

The way I saw it, everyone who lived nearby was The Watcher. I think they all had once lived in the house or at the very least spent time in the house and fell under its spell. Through some supernatural attraction, they could not find a life away from it and moved in nearby so, even if they could not live in it, they could watch it and still be involved with it. When they showed Nora and Dean coming back to the house, we witnessed the start of a couple of new Watchers who I think will eventually join the preservation society like the rest of them.

It’s the Realator lady

@@amelialove5411 no, its not karen. did you finish the series? karen was a victim of the watcher.

Because the watcher in real life hasn’t been solved

It's based on a true story that was never solved

I thought it was pretty clear that the watcher was John Graff. We see him fleeing through the tunnels and escaping. Both of the neighbors are the watchers and they use John to infiltrate the house and scare whoever is living in there

@@jonesy1589 The real life story only involved the family receiving some letters similar to the ones in the series. All of the characters and events were pure fiction so I don't think that is a good excuse for not naming the Watcher.

@@valiant971 your argument sucks. It’s very much based on the real story and the watcher hasn’t been found. but we do know she’s female. So it’s probably you

That’s so true! The letter focus was greed but the person who we seen cloaked in staircase didn’t seem to match the height of the suspects.

if the letters talked about preservation of the house it would be way to obvious who the prime suspects are

Based off the letters saying they would reward him for the sacrifice I don't think it was John who killed the teacher but the watcher who killed him for John

You’re giving too much thought to it it’s just simply bad writing. Hopefully whoever wrote this show never works in Hollywood again

@@richyholly5189 who do you think had the cojones? Can't see any of the other characters dragging around a hacky sack that large...

@@ActionJacksonForever well I kinda thought the creators entire plot was to cause confusion and premature suspense

@@gatorsminks I can pretty much tell you what happened in real life. Family moves in, starts receiving threatening letters. Gonna chalk it up to a disgruntled potential buyer that got out bid (people have mental issues) Police were shown the letter, it’s a small town there’s probably a staff of 30 tops. They chalked it up as a prank and told the family there was nothing they can do. Threatening letters kept coming, family said we don’t need this shit let’s get out of here. Case unsolved

The more mundane explanation would have been someone trying to set him up, like the PI said. Someone that was put their because someone besides Dakota knew that there was a camera in the bedroom, probably John Graff since he got there to inspect the house. He was there between the cameras being installed and the family coming back. And he knew about the cameras being installed, since he watching Dakota and even saw him flirting with the daughter. He could have got the idea if he saw Dakota installing the camera in the bedroom. That would explain how the girl got in (through the tunnel) and why she was wearing that dress (because he chose it).

The explanation for that was the tunnel, who the person actually was makes no difference. She never entered the house apparently but I would like to know how she knew he'd be in there sleep.

I reckon it was pearl in the pigtails her house was connected to the tunnels

@@juannito6318 I thought the same see as how she and John were in cahoots. However it could've been someone else, a whole new character perhaps.

Yeah there was a lot they never reflected back on, but I think they said these things initially to just unsettle the viewer into immediately thinking its them.

I liked the idea of a baby sacrificing cult that went all the way to the top of the fbi and government. Would of been a more creepy story. Maybe if they make second series they could make it about that.

They zoomed in on moe 's lips when she supped her tea at pearls .... I'm sure they are the ones who drank the blood from the graff family from the milk jugs ... sure of it

yup and talked about lizard people in the last episode.

So true!

I don’t think it was one story they just mixed up with other true stories.

@@sunshinesunny6582 it has to be the original story is actually borning

They added a lot to it though like the actual family never even moved into the home.

I live in Westfield, about 4 blocks from the watcher house. Most of the series was fiction mashed with random pieces of true events.

To find the watcher is actually to be just somewhat involved in the house

So many plot twists I wanna know every thing lol

That scene of Mo "kissing" the little boy cut finger with the bloody smile was creepy as fuck! I think that is what Andrew saw, in his perturbed mind, but not what really happened. But no, I think their interest was in keeping away 'bad' neighbors. Anyway, what makes the series great is how it leaves open ended if things are as fucked up as the character's paranoia seems to indicate or if it is just a bunch of weird creepy but normal people living there.

Yeahh. Some say Andrew was on drugs so he was seeing wonky stuff. But what about his kid saying he saw a blood cult ritual? Or when his wife was scared shitless because she was seeing abnormal things in the house?

@@arooj456 His kid was that, a kid. Three or four years old. Not exactly a reliable witness. His wife had a mental problems even before moving to the house, although she was getting better for a while.

I think it was pearl who phoned Nora up because the person in the cloak walking past deans bedroom looked like a girl and the breathing sounded like it too. But that’s just my opinion

That’s a very good point!

They gave much of a F..the police didn't though, they sealed it up but it was useless because John Graff still went back and killed the realtor's dog. The tunnel apparently wasn't the only way in. Maybe there's another tunnel to Big Mo's house because the previous owner said his kid saw Big Mo and her husband drinking blood and more blood was drank inside of the house after the Graff murders. Pearl and John were definitely working together, Pearl didn't want them to touch the basement and it's strange to me that what John did made Jasper traumatized and mute but he talks around John just fine.

Or that stairway entrance at the end

@@thomastalks3841 didn't see it, just remember the old owner saying big Mo was sucking blood off their child's finger in the basement

Or how the "ode to a house" dude knew, that John Graff was sitting in front of him in that meeting and it wasnt enough to bother him to leave.

@@gatorsminks i reckon nora unblocked the tunnel when the realtor moved in.

That does make sense. It could explain how the Watcher is able to know so much of the house and why there are different DNA prints. That was always my headcanon too

And also, I noticed that too. The other neighbors looked more out of touch with time. Mo and Mitch looked like two people from the 60s, John Graff dresses like he’s from the 50s, etc.

Good point about how they dress thats interesting

It's not for sure that it was them since theyre never actually shown delivering the letters and if Pearl is to be believed she also got a letter. Assuming that's true then there's still someone out there delivering letters. All we know for sure is that they've been sneaking in an out of the house because they're obsessed with it.

I feel like it was just a big misdirection. Not saying they're not responsible for creeping around the house but not the letter writers. John got the letters himself that's why he went crazy and is now bound to the house too.

Glad you enjoyed the video!

It was the whole preservation group. They tied all of them in throughout. It was a collective effort.

Could’ve been John Graff coming back out from the tunnels

@@johnmcquade8337 yeah probably. so many subtle details in the show creep me out

@@Caerulis Right? Not gonna lie, the show started off strong. I was invested all the way until the ending and all the clues and plot points left out and unexplained: who really was John Graff? What about the tunnels under the house? The explanation about prohibition seems logical, but there’s no follow up to it. Was Detective Chamberland really in on all of it? So many points left out

@@johnmcquade8337 yeah imo they either thought that leaving out so many details would work for them to create speculation or they just decided to rush the ending. I’m betting on the latter

I believe It was definitely the John or “Willam” guy making those thudding noises. There was a cult but i don’t think it was a blood cult it was to keep the town the same, including the values. Notice how mo wasn’t unsettled by the noises because she knew it was john hiding out. Pearl was the main watcher. The DNA said it was female and her family was there forever. She inherited the house from her parents. Johns story might have been true to a certain extent because he was living in that tunnel and hiding in pearls house. She had the whole town in on it, including the police force. They covered it all up so the image of the town wasn’t tarnished. Imo.

@@BrainPilot yes i 100% agree there , the first episode was good with some good jump scares and creepy people but then towards the end it fell off with that type of directing

Personally, I hate jump scares. In that other horror series, midnight club, they even make explicit fun of it, calling it cheap and making one story that is made 100% of jump scares. I liked that they went for an unsettling creepy atmosphere and characters than cheap jump scares.

Yeah the detective being a dickhead and totally useless was what pissed me off. He just seemed weird from the beginning. Could have reported him to internal affairs and just have a competent person take over their case.

@@koledevos349 I think what they’re trying to do is keep they’re neighborhood the same for decades. Like this one scene the PIGTAIL lady was talking about the oak tree that’s been there. Another scene when they’re talking about what went wrong that caused changes correct me if I’m wrong

I think the watcher is the girl. She was accepted to an ivy League university which indicates her intelligence

@@zimdollar3229 That's a good theory. I kept thinking that it was her too but then those people in the tunnels...Idk. I wish it had a better ending.

I had the same idea about the daughter, but then again the parents would recognize her in the video, even if they can't see her face.

Best show I've watched in years. Perfectly executed to have such a mystery and suspension the entire way through. People are just butt hurt that they didn't get an answer because they themselves are also like dean. Eaten up to know who and why

@@combatwa4les253 I feel like nora is a part of it somehow, Dean got to deep into it is getting delusional

My favorite character was Dean, Bobby is becoming one of my favorite actors because of this.

Because it is written badly, so the 4 major plot points (John Graff story, Karen scamming Nora, Pearl and Mo being creepy neighbors, and then they added Roger's story) are all supposed to be unrelated? Not realistic at all. If the John Graff/Bill character is supposedly meant to be the Watcher then it makes no sense at all. Also the ending with the shadow emerging from the stairs was too cheesy in supernatural, felt way off. You might call it nitpicking but it just doesn't make any sense. Many writers just play the whole "let the viewer decide for themselves" card too often and it's lazy

@@phoqueme that part disturbed me I thought it was pretty chilling tbh giving the context of what was happening

Ryan Murphy would of had a much better movie had he stuck to the original family.

Same she was a nightmare

Calling the cop on his own father and making false accusation against him… I was just like🤬🤬

..her character was written by men. all the women on this show were written by men. what you're saying is beyond silly.

@@VitaReduXX females written by other females tend to be cringe and often worse than females written by men 🤣 your point?

@@melaniebiberger2191 were talking about this particular character. my point is its silly to base the decision of not having a girl on this character..because youre worried she'd turn out that way.

Yes! I was already ripping my hair out half way through watching it trying to figure it out myself, and after its over feel just like Dean in that I can't let it go until I know who it was! I think this was definitely the whole point of the show.

Concrete in a small area - they are also underneath a road, which is city property. We know it leads across the street. The workers won't smash anything outside the property line and the police wouldn't allow a search warrant. It's not your property if it's not on your property line. You break it down, since it's sheer concrete you'll need to repair that... and if you know anything about concrete, that will likely be absolutely insane to adequately repair. You might take a chunk out of someone's foundation. It will also take hours with a jackhammer, and you'll be stopped immediately by the neighbors calling the police. It is frustrating though, because they could have easily called the state police to supercede the police chief's authority - who has a legal obligation to investigate this crime. That didn't add up. If the state police found out about this massive scandal, and that it wasn't being investigated, that's grounds for removal. But the characters weren't smart enough to put that together, and we are trapped in their subjective view.
