The Boy
A Watchful Eye From the very beginning, the show makes it clear: someone is always watching. A secret, sinister government agency has their eyes everywhere. The way they monitor the kids is almost biblical—like the devil watching Jesus in the desert, waiting for him to slip. It’s unsettling, because it shows how power can twist […]
