Oh what could have been had the screenplay been believable! The cast of this series does as best of a job as they can with what Roger Ebert called the "idiot plot"- characters that can only exist in a world where they consistently ignore the obvious and act around it to extend out the plot. This series thrives on that. The Braddocks are given key pieces of information throughout the season and what do they do with it? Ignore the obvious and go for a "in case of emergency break glass" approach EVERY SINGLE TIME. I found myself utterly frustrated by it as they go barging around the town verbally accosting every single person in the town in a game of whack-a-mole. Very disappointing and I can't recommend The Watcher because of the maddening idiot plot.
