Netlfix's latest drama series The Watcher landed last week, with viewers hooked on the mystery thriller. The miniseries tells the chilling true story of a family from New Jersey, who find themselves living in terror when a stranger starts sending cryptic letters to their new home.
It centres on couple Dean (Bobby Cannavale) and Nora Brannock (Naomi Watts), who along with their two children move to the wealthy suburb of Westfield. However, their dream house soon turns into a nightmare when they start receiving creepy messages from a stranger who is watching their every move.
While the thriller may seem far-fetched, it is actually based on the real-life events, according to the Mirror. In 2014, Derek and Maria Broaddus moved to 657 Boulevard in Westfield, New Jersey and couldn't wait to start their new life in the neighbourhood.
