Yes, you can expect (but probably won’t be able to predict) some wonderfully nasty plot twists along the way. “Servant” is a deliberately (sometimes maddeningly) paced series of 10 episodes, each roughly 30 minutes in length.

Servant is essentially a Black Mirror installment stretched into ten half-hour parts. It is American Horror Story, minus that franchise’s capacity to wink at itself and its own reliance on tropes. And yet as silly as the show gets, I still wanted to get to the bottom of what’s going on.

With more questions than any particularly satisfying answers, but in similar fashion to shows like Twin Peaks, its control of tone and atmosphere soon becomes even more engrossing than the mystery itself.

Servant can be a frustrating watch, with its oddball ensemble manifesting as eerily, purposefully translucent, but it’s a compulsive one. The 30-minute episodes help—every minute feels purposeful, symbolic, or some combination of the two—and there’s a hysterical quality, both in its performances and plotting, that gives its austere, shadowy aesthetic a surprising spark.

Over 10 episodes, the M. Night Shyamalan-produced series gets under your skin and pokes at insecurities and phobias tied to childbirth and parenting. What Servant is less effective at is finding that next level, narratively or psychologically, that would allow it to go from an efficient technical gem to anything deeper. It's very creepy, but maybe not especially scary, disturbing or, ultimately, satisfying.

Ultimately, though, Servant is too empty to be worth the time, in spite of the performances and the great atmosphere. The end of the season is designed to make viewers intrigued by what happens next, but it mainly left me exasperated that so much had been promised and so little delivered. The early scares and creepy vibes fade away long before it’s over.

Despite the fabulous looks at wine and a late season, ominous, and very muddy and wet appearance by Boris McGiver in Episode 6, I cannot think of a good reason to invite "Servant" into your orbit for more than a few minutes, to say nothing of checking in over multiple weeks.

It’s not a ten but I’m hoping to boost the rating because it’s well acted, written and directed unlike all the other shows on Apple TV.

Great show once you start watching you can’t stop. Really keeps you guessing and excellent acting.

A creepy, slow-burn psychological thriller that deals with the supernatural, loss & grief. The 30 min episode work perfectly in building the tension and have you hanging, in this beautifully shot series. One of 2019's best shows.

Really creepy and fun to watch. I would say this is the best we've seen from shyamalan since early 2000's, and definitely the best Apple TV+ show to this date. Give it a shot if you got the free 1 year subscription from Apple.

I could only make it through one episode. The premise sounds fascinating. And after reading the synopsis for the first few episodes I was all ready to love this show. But the two main characters, the husband and wife, are absolutely insufferable. The husband is an impotent jackass who slouches around his house in an old flannel. The wife is neurotic and dominating, and over-acts like she's some sort of period piece. The camera insists on getting right up into these two people's faces as they talk, and neither one is the least bit attractive. I guess I'll just stick to reading the episode synopsis on wikipedia.
