2017 was a big year for the great Naomi Watts on TV, with the actress having a main role on Twin Peaks: The Return and leading her own Netflix series, Gypsy.

While she was one of the real gems of Twin Peaks, the first Watts-led TV show since 1997's Sleepwalkers did not fare so well, despite its star lead and interesting plotline, with the show billed as a psychological thriller about a psychotherapist who infiltrates the lives of her patients.

What could (and should) have been a thrilling exploration of power and desire instead falls totally flat. There are no thrills to be found here, with cliched dialogue, empty, uninteresting characters, and a plot completely boring narrative.
