Funny thing is I enjoyed Midnight Club a lot more. If I had to tell my short-term memory to bring up the most memorable scene from the three shows, it's Ruth Codd as Anya. This is not a good thing considering that Naomi Watts, Bobby Carnavale, Richard Kind, and Character Actress Margo Martindale's combined star powers should have made The Watcher at best a mildly tolerable experience, but I honestly sincerely couldn't recall a single solitary frame from that show. Already forgotten Dahmer completely as I'm not about to let Murphy's manipulative persuasive boo-hooing ingratiate me to creepy loners. If a show full of dying kids telling creepy stories is objectively the most sincere one out of the bunch but still gets beaten in viewership ratings by shows about trashy shitty people, then it only serves to reinforce that only trashy shitty people would subscribe to a platform where Hemlock Grove is removed while Cuties remains. You can probably infer that I don't pay for Netflix.

Only reason I hadn't checked out Exception yet is because another current sci-fi show is struggling to keep me hooked after the first episode. Pantheon has a good concept, but the characters are so pissy and miserable that I had to chase the first episode with 30 Rock to restore my emotional equilibrium. But I'll power through if only to have an informed opinion.
