Finally we get some answers.

Nora is convinced that Dean is The Watcher, and responsible for sending the letters.

Oooh, now it's getting interesting, the pieces of the puzzle are really starting to fall into place, it's starting to feel more like a conventional thriller, and less like a Bly Manor type series. I now understand that it's very loosely based on some actual, real life events.

At just seven episodes long, it does feel like it's gathering some momentum, and heading towards what will hopefully be an interesting conclusion.

Nora, it's taken her some time to see that Karen's been playing her along, it's been an interesting tale of grand scale manipulation.

It's been good to see Mia Farrow playing more of an active role, lovely actress, for my shame I didn't recognise her earlier on. The quality is very much there.

Accomplished, 8/10.

Episode 5

There are a lot of similarities to Only Murders in the Building and without spoiling this series or that one I will say a physical development heightened those comparisons here. Regardless, that was exactly the kind of crazy and chaotic ending we need from this show, a show that has benefited from "crash TV" writing for almost its entire run.

Only two episodes left and I just hope that we get some semblance of answers in this one. This show has been a fun ride for sure, but I just worry that there may not be a worthwhile payoff if they cannot find a way to put a bow on everything we've seen so far.

In all honesty, this could've been episode 3 if people just used their heads instead of being fish, jumping at the first shiny thing they see.

So we basically had 2 episodes worth of jumping to ridiculous conclusions, now we're gettin somewhere!

Must say, I have it a 9 becuz it's the best episode yet, and I rated one an 8, lol. But the last scene is silly. You could 100% hear them if you're the "bad guy", and the flashlight didn't even shine straight, they pointed out at the walls. Like, wtf, seriously? Hahaha... yelling who are you, C'mon man.

This has the potential to be great. Acting is pretty good, they have some big names we recognize... just needs better, more realistic, writing. I'm curious to read up what the real story is.

I didn't even bother after this episode

I actually walked in my living room and my husband was watching this. I watched the end of episode 4 and tried to figure out why he didn't ship his daughter off. I would have, well I won't say what I would have done to her. However in this episode, the wife was thinking her husband was not only a piggish pedophile but the person harassing them. I was so disgusted by how easily she was swayed that I told my husband I didn't want to watch anymore. With that being said, because I don't know the outcome and I didn't see what happened before but I did see the trailer, I asked one thing. It appears as if someone was in their home. So my question was why did they not get the original blueprints for the house? You look at the blueprints and you see what should be there versus what is there and you start investigating yourself. Also I had to ask, what year was this supposed to have taken place? I wouldn't have trusted anyone. I would have, as stealthily as possible, put cameras everywhere. I would have also been blatant, and put camera so those creepy neighbors could see as well! This just all seems so surreal and absolutely ridiculous!
