6 years 10 months ago
Apple TV+'s rough start with original programming doesn't get any smoother with "Servant," an eerie new series produced by M. Night Shyamalan, who also directed the pilot. Seemingly inspired by "Rosemary's Baby," there's no recovering from the worm-ridden nature of its concept, which starts off fuzzy and weird and doesn't get much clearer over time.

Placing its own slightly unorthodox twist on the Agatha Christie whodunit -- complete with an all-star cast, seemingly having a grand time doing it -- "Knives Out" is a whole lot of fun, intended to keep the audience off-balance right up until the finish.
