I urge you not to watch the trailer or the teasers at least until after you watch the first episode. The cast has been going out of their way in interviews not to spoil things that the trailer and teasers just give away and I am thankful that I knew nothing going into the show because the experience of the first episode and its mood would not have been what they were for me if I had seen the promotions. The trailer also has a few things even from the finale, which does not air until January 20th.Click here for my Golden Globes spotlight article:

Unfortunately already saw every preview that has come out. :p But I’m guessing there will be more surprises than just the baby being a doll. Curious about the reviews that will come out on wednesday. How would you rate this show overall? Excited to see more of Ambrose, Kebbell and Grint again. I hope all leads performances deliver!
ReplyCopy URLOkay, so even he is giving interviews on it now. It is what it is—people want to talk about the show, so they are actually talking about the show. This is worse with movie trailers because they tend to give away half of the movie, whereas this only gives away half of the first episode. And there are bigger twists later.

REVIEW: M. Night Shyamalan’s series SERVANT will freak you out and crack you up
I have no idea where Servant might go in its proposed second, third or later seasons, but it’s as addicting as anything else on regular television these days, and I’m definitely a fan. If anything is going to get people talking about Apple+, Servant is it.
I didn’t know Tony Revolori was going to be in this!
EDIT:Lots of reviews at once. Haven’t read all of them but will link them here:

this is one of the most unsettling shows in recent memory and one of the best things to come from Shyamalan since THE SIXTH SENSE. It is also a well executed thriller along the lines of ROSEMARY’S BABY and HEREDITARY that never shows anything horrible and yet conveys an aura of horror and dread. In short, this is a messed up show and I could not stop watching.https://www.hindustantimes.com/tv/servant-review-m-night-shyamalan-s-apple-series-is-nightmare-fuel-scary-and-sublime/story-Z6BuXnv1D7vXLl0XfusTuM.html
Three episodes can currently be written about, but more than any other show Apple has released so far, this is the one that demands to be stuck with till the end.‘Servant’ Review: M. Night Shyamalan Throws the Fake Baby Out with the Bathwater
The Apple TV+ series, “Servant,” feels like a good fit between story and storyteller. Basgallop’s creepy, trauma-driven tale of a grieving couple trying to recover from the death of their newborn relishes every opportunity to get under its audience’s skin.https://www.tvguide.com/news/servant-review-apple-plus-m-night-shyamalan-baby-doll/?ftag=COS-05-10aaa3b
Servant is far from perfect. It requires a ton of suspension of disbelief, does way too much mystery-wise, and may be insensitive to mothers who have lost children. But it’s creepy, compulsively watchable fun, with a distinct personality. It shows that Apple is willing to make shows that are pretty dark, pretty risky, and not particularly aspirational. It’s a beautiful house, but the people who live there are lunatics who hate each other. That’s the kind of setup you always want from a psychological thriller, no matter who’s making it.https://ew.com/tv-reviews/2019/11/20/servant-apple-tv-review/?utm_content=link&utm_term=54E69C92-0B9E-11EA-9C56-41904744363C&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=entertainmentweekly_ew
Right now, Servant is delivering the kind of giddy thrills you want from horror: Things are going from bad to worse for the Turner family, and I can’t help but enjoy it.https://www.pajiba.com/tv_reviews/spoilerfree-review-what-to-know-about-m-night-shyamalans-servant-before-you-watch-it.php
This might test audience patience once episodes four-through-ten begin rolling out one week at a time. Perhaps that’s why each ep so far has ended with a little twist. These are not something earth-shattering as the climax of The Sixth Sense. Mostly, they are more ambiguous cliffhangers. They leave you wondering what the crumple of a smile or a tender gesture might mean for the Turner household and its curious servant. Admittedly, as I write this, I can’t help but wonder what might happen next. While I’ve yet to be blown away by an episode of Servant, I nonetheless yearn for episode four.https://appleinsider.com/articles/19/11/20/apple-tv-review-m-night-shyamalan-produced-servant-is-a-creepy-delight?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter
here’s a lot to like about Servant, starting with the creepy, twisty premise. The couple’s house, which contains most of the action, is a wonderful location, and the cast is strong across the board.

Created and written by Tony Basgallop. Executively produced by M. Night Shyamalan and Tony Basgallop, Servant is a thriller that reels you in right from the start, and once you are hooked, there’s no letting go, and you are now embarking on a really ambitious psychological thrill ride, that will leave with more questions than answers as the layers start to peel back.
