A new creepy drama series has shot to success on Netflix. Seven-part drama, The Watcher follows the chilling story of the Brannock family, whose dreams of settling into a new neighbourhood are destroyed and many viewers have been gripped.
Released last week, on October 13, the show has already shot to the top of the streaming service's top ten and viewers have watched as the Brannock's lives are ruined when a mysterious stalker called 'the Watcher' begins terrorising them. As the series is so creepy and unnerving many viewers have been asking if the show is based on a true story.
The Watcher is based on the New York Magazine article, The Haunting of a Dream House by Reeves Wiedman, which is based on a true story. In the drama, Naomi Watts and Bobby Cannavale play Nora and Dean Brannock, based on real-life victims Maria and Derek Broaddus.
