Servant

I usually don't make it through a whole season but this one is 4 seasons and I was glued to the TV! Yes it is slow but it keeps you hooked with small weird happenings throughout. It's mostly nonviolent but some of the scenes are quite gruesome and I guess that's what gives it the edge! It's not until season 3 you can see something is coming! I personally love Night Shyamalan, always have ever since "the village"! He is wonderfully weird! The acting is excellent and the characters believable! The scary part is that this could actually happen but without the super natural part! I really don't understand the low reviews, I can only imagine they are done by people who only like a lot of action ! Definitely recommend to give this a try!

I was wondering why I had given up on Servant and never had finished, so a week or so ago after trying to find a decent recap on YouTube and failing I've decided to rewatch everything from the very first episode.

The first series is really good, with that M. Night Shyamalan feel and looking back it also has the perfect ending, even if it was left open to interpretations.

Series 2, 3 and 4 just get daft, ludicrous and incoherent. Yes, they provide some answers but the execution is close to appalling. Hence my advice to stop at Series 1.

(Never understood why episodes of under 30 minutes are deemed acceptable. Unless it's a sitcom)

Servant Season 1 (3.5 out of 5 stars).

The first season overall is a pretty fair series. The cast ensemble was good. The three actors playing Sean, Leanne, and Dorothy delivered. The plot kept a mystery creepy premise. Especially with some of the story revealing a little in the end. I did feel like the ending did leave you feeling less satisfied as they keep you waiting to reveal more of the story next season.

Overall, this series is definitely worth watching.

FIRST SEASON : 8,2/10

SECOND SEASON : 7/10

THIRD SEASON : 7,6/10

FOURTH SEASON : 7,8/10

I agree with many reviewers, second season is a let-down. Whereas, first season seemed like a great mystery tv series. Not many of those recently. However, i didn't regret for keep watching this, because third season went on the rails again. And fourth season provided a fine/satisfying conclusion. Many people didn't like the ending. I think it was good. Any other outcome would be disappointing.

Very good acting, nice cinematography, well directed, never boring except some second season's episodes. Some times, it was repetitive, sometimes it seemed that they ran out of ideas, repeating the same things again and again. It was not a perfect tv show but it kept you guessing until the end, and there were many intense episodes. Most of the questions were answered. Yes, the later seasons are not as good as the first one, SERVANT promised more than it delivered. But at the end of the day, it was a fun ride. Penultimate first season's episode was one of the greatest tv episodes of the last 5 years. Don't expect a masterpiece, and you will enjoy it, if you like mystery movies/series.

I'm not going long with this review but I want to confirm what others have written. MOST of the episodes end up with suspense and questions that makes you want to watch the next episode.

When the next episode comes out, nothing happens and everything is crazy boring until the end of the episode where new questions come out and suspence that makes you think that something will happen the next episode. It's a cycle invented to keep you hooked at the show, but slowly killing it. I already expect nothing happening during the whole episode and when approaching the end of the episode, some questions and suspense and then... the next episode aires and nothing happens except for the last minutes of the show. The story is also getting boring and out of 3 seasons I feel like I didn't learn anything more about this story.

This is a frustrating way to make television and I've never seen anything like it in any other tv show before, specially when done in every episode. That's so sad, you want our attention at all costs. What kind of school did the director go to make such a terrible, repetitive, cyclic and frustrating structure?
