It’s that time of the month when Netflix and other top streaming services are set to drop a bunch of titles from their libraries to make room for March’s slate. I make it a habit to scroll through Netflix’s removals, and I was surprised to find “Watcher” leaving the service, an intense psychological thriller that not only is a critical darling but has been residing on the platform for a year now. Clearly, it’s nearing its expiration date.
I’ve watched my fair share of psychological thrillers over the years, but “Watcher” is one that lingered with me long after I finished streaming it. Much of that comes down to how unsettlingly plausible it feels. For anyone who enjoys thrillers that venture into truly dark territory, “Watcher” needs to be on your watchlist before it leaves Netflix on February 24, which isn’t far away.
