Who is the Watcher? Are Dean, Pearl and John Graff the Watcher?
The Watcher is one of the newly arrived shows on Netflix; the show follows a married couple moving to their dream home with their two children.
But soon after moving to the new home, they realize they are getting some threatening messages from an anonymous person named The Watcher.
The Watcher Series follows Dean and Nora Brannock, a married couple with two young kids moving into their new dream home in a New Jersey suburb.
The Brannocks buy their dream home ‘657 Boulevard’, a grand property worth 3.3 million dollars.
Dean pours all his assets and money into buying that home, and eventually, after the move in into the six-bedroom property, at first, it is all good, but soon things take a huge turn when they start receiving some creepy letters from an anonymous figure who called themselves “The Watcher.”
The creepy letter even stated they were obsessed with him and monitored them and their children.
After receiving such letters frequently, the couple goes to the police station and lodges a complaint, but the detective dismisses their case, stating these are just pranks.
So what happens at the end? Who is the Watcher? Are Dean, Pearl and John Graff the Watcher? Well, let us find the answers below.

As per the original case is concerned, the identity of The Watcher is still a mystery, and the case is still open; despite an extensive investigation by Westfield police and private investigation, the mysterious figure who wrote all the letters is still not identified.
But as far as the Netflix series is concerned, we think that the Westfield Preservation Society: Pearl, Jasper and John Graff are the Watcher.
Below is our reasoning for this
Jasper and Pearl
Pearl and Jasper are probably the most obvious suspect in the whole case.
Their goal is to preserve the Westfield society, and from the beginning, they stated that any architectural changes in the houses in their neighbourhood would be a violation.
Later on, it was revealed that there is no Westfield society. It was all made up; they also added Roger Kaplan and Maurice to their so-called society at the end.
Jasper and Pearl do not believe in people’s privacy.
As showcased in the series, they often breach their neighbours’ houses and then give an excuse for their neurodivergent medical condition.
It is believed that they do not want to see any changes in the house architecture in their neighbourhood, so often, they scare them with letters.
John Graff
There is also another creep that might be responsible, John Graff.
As per the series finale, it is believed he is the one who is The Watcher because when John Graff met Dean, he told him he was a local building inspector.
But, later on, with his private investigation, Dean finds out there is no local building inspector named John Graff in Westfield, which raises the suspicion of Dean.
Per the Dean’s private investigator Theodora, John Graff moved into their house years before buying. After that, he killed his entire family and then ran away. (reference credit: NJ.com)
So, towards The Watcher’s end, the viewers can easily infer that he, Pearl, and Jasper are the Watcher.
I think Graff was hiding in Pearl’s house all along, and they used to scare Dean and his family together.
They use this tunnel to break into other houses and scare the owners to stop them from making changes to the house’s architecture or a change in the design of vintage furnishers.
Dean was so angry and frustrated towards the end that he also wrote letters to the neighbours.
He sent those letters to the neighbours as he suspected every one of them in this case; when Nora asked him about the letters, he agreed that, yes, he had sent one letter to each of the neighbours to give them a taste of their own medicine.
