Ever since Netflix's The Watcher premiered on October 13, fans have been discussing its numerous characters and various aspects of the plot on social media. Thus far, Ellie (played by Isabel Gravitt) seems to be the most talked-about character on the show, and for good reason.
In the series, Ellie was angry with her father because he disapproved of her relationship with Dakota. To retaliate, she posted a video on social media, claiming that she has been locked up in a room because her father does not approve of her relationship with an African-American, thus insinuating that he is racist.
What angered netizens was the fact that despite knowing that her accusations were completely false, Ellie posted them online anyway. This had devastating repercussions. Dean went on to lose his job and the entire community treated him and Nora as racists.
As a result, Ellie's character has now come under fire from netizens. One Twitter user called her ''the worst.''
