Ryan Murphy Talks with the Women of The Watcher | Netflix

The Watcher vaulted to the No. 1 show on Netflix in its debut weekend, with viewers hooked on the mystery behind the letters from a stranger who seemed to know everything about the Brannock family. Creator Ryan Murphy recently sat down with the women of The Watcher - Naomi Watts, Noma Dumezweni, Mia Farrow, Margo Martindale and Jennifer Coolidge - to discuss the series’ horror/thriller vibes and why audiences are drawn to them.

Ominous letters. Strange neighbors. Sinister threats. A family moves into their suburban dream home, only to discover they've inherited a nightmare.

[@sophiaisabelle01]

These women are phenomenal actresses. They’ve really given their all in this show, especially Ms Coolidge.

[@ezzb]

I'm so happy to see Jennifer Coolidge FINALLY receiving the roles and recognition se deserves. And (not that actually matters) she also looks so good

[@realhousewifeoftransylvania1.0]

Gawd, what is wrong with him, Jennifer would be so perfect for AHS!!

Ryan Murphy delivers every time. "The Watcher" creeped me out, and now "NYC" is shocking and addictive.

The fabulous cast is what made this story.

[@R7v4]

I love how Ryan always make shows/movies that give opportunities for women, POC, and queer people to shine. Like Glee, Pose, American Horror Story etc.

[@jenlin6715]

I know and that’s what make his shows better than others

[@OphelieH27]

LOOOVE Ryan Murphy, always write great parts for all kinds of women.

[@fabfafa]

The acting was very good, but the story ending was very disappointing 😞

[@stirlingarcher7972]

Is that dangerous fugitive and highly acclaimed Character Actress Margo Martindale?

[@Diana1000Smiles]

❤ I'm a huge fan.

[@ladyredl3210]

Margo is hilarious! Reminds me of the old school character actors.

[@ezzb]

When I saw Mia Farrow, I went directly see the cast members cuz I just couldn't believe it was actually her! It's been a while. Has she ever been in a tv show?

[@stylinsue535]

The acting was phenomenal! The story line … eh.

[@ldycop74]

Agreed, the story caught my interest but the acting definitely kept me.

[@yoshimasu_k]

It's a trend with Ryan Murphy's productions 😆 Casting is always 😙🤌

[@danjun7986]

Yep they need to step up storyline wise in the second season

[@kdee8166]

A show about a true story where nothing happened.

[@villanelle8888]

😂

[@michalmazurewicz7240]

Such a great cast!!! Love these women!!!🥰💜💙💚💛🧡

[@lacomie81]

I was disappointed when I saw the actual story this was based on. Nothing really happened. Love the show though

[@HooliganMomma]

"Rosemary's Baby" ...my all time favorite and has been for years...Ruth Gordon...phenomenal!! xo

[@danjun7986]

Mia needs to do SON OF ROSEMARY since she is the right age to do the role now, she was the standout of the Omen remake so, hopefully 🤞🏻

[@benaiahandpartners]

Terrible show! Dont. Bother. Watching.

This show is soo good

Hi how are you doing

[@DEEP_CRITICAL_THINKER]

super story ; waiting for season 2.

[@914mongji]

He could still make good show. But I don't get it still how he let AHS went downhill so fast. Like from s4 onwards were such terrible everything 😪

[@yoshimasu_k]

I know, right??! The newest season is actually surprisingly good so far!

[@nodatastored684]

Great Acting, all around

It's a must watch!

[@terigiese1322]

This cast was phenomenal!The story itself was just a tad disappointing TBH?But.The characters were very intriguing and played well🖤👏🏻👏🏻💫

[@kathrynbillinghurst188]

Noma… you remind me sooo much of Trish Goddard…in fact, I was convinced you were for a hot minute… I heard the voice, then did a ‘double take’!! Wow 🤩 !Absolutely stunnin! Mia, you played this part soooo well…perfection! Jennifer…gosh you were so NASTY!! 💃🏻ouch! 🤗🇦🇺 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I thoroughly enjoyed this series, watched it with my daughter. 🥳🎈🥳

[@CineYVideos]

Y los subtítulos??? Jajajajajajaja!!!!

[@aroidpapa]

Noma is just breathtaking ugh

[@Diana1000Smiles]

Mia Farrow frightened me. She scared my husband, too. We love her.

[@kassassin_brahgawk]

Fav Naomi horror/thriller is Funny Games. She is A ROCK in that movie. Just incredibly acted and an amazing character.

[@ivanmay7890]

Ryan Murphy left Fox for Netflix because he felt that Fox wasn’t promoting his shows? Honestly I’m glad Ryan Murphy left Fox for Netflix.

[@thecalmingwitch]

I don’t like him… I get a very icky feeling from him. I think he’s overrated and that his internal dialogue is probably pretty grotesque since he has underage girls in sexualized roles all the time. His fixation on satanism, cults, and blood rituals etc. irks me to my very core. It doesn’t even feel like a writer’s style anymore like Stephen King(at least his stories are fictional). Ryan seems fixated on the real horrors people can face on a daily basis. Like stuff that has happened or can actually happen. It’s creepy.

[@wonderwoman5528]

Women don’t love to multitask we’re just historically been given all the crappy little jobs around the house to do

[@ChasingHorizonforever]

A strong cast leads to a great watch and experience.

[@TheSakebomb1]

This is why I love Ryan Murphy.. He writes so many great parts for all women.

How is Mia 77??? oh my gosh she looks fantastic!

[@jeremykinser62]

Loved this, but how the heck does Mia Farrow not understand that Rosemary's Baby is not only the greatest horror film of all time but also one of the greatest films of all time?

[@arupsan]

This is a great series ,,, Best casting always makes best films or series ..

[@fv6125]

Margo Martindale is so underrated

[@bookofdust]

Having known many potters in my life, I assumed Naomi and Bobby wore beiges out of need to hide all the clay streaks from marking up their clothing and I’m sad he didn’t confirm that’s why.

[@AyeYohCee44]

Hello

[@letthong3047]

[@rhymeandreasoning]

Outside the city is always more scary than inside the city. Outside city people are spooky/ creepy as all get out. People outside the city watch more goings on in their own area/ community. There is always some peeking through their curtains and watching. And a newbie coming into a community is always scary, as you are the outsider coming into their world/ clique. You almost have to abide by THEIR way of living, and doing things. Kind of like "Stepford".

[@Diana1000Smiles]

Wow, and I live in a Wilderness area. Not a wonder people on digital media treat me like an alien undergoing metamorphosis.

[@rhymeandreasoning]

Rural/ remote/ wilderness type is way better than a community type area. Rural/ remote/ wilderness you have space/ privacy, and peace/ quiet, usually. Not so much with outside the city community type living.

[@MotherRupaul]

brilliant

[@Horus070]

This story is about people remember coworker and she always talk about her , she always try to seperate her and coworker, her friend handcuff to talk about each person have something bad, let the black blood pass to whole company.
