“The Haunting of Hill House” meets “Homecoming” — that could be Apple’s pitch to awards voters for “Servant,” its new half-hour drama premiering November 28. With the narrative transpiring entirely inside (and occasionally on the block just outside) a Philadelphia townhouse, “Servant” compensates for set pieces with atmospheric directing led by M. Night Shyamalan, complete with the long takes that were critically acclaimed hallmarks of the other aforementioned streaming series. Although there are flourishes of horror, like in the title sequence reminiscent of “The Haunting of Hill House,” this is a psychological thriller that builds tension with incomplete memories and unconventional framing in the vein of “Homecoming.”
Still on hiatus, fellow half-hour “Homecoming” leaves nomination slots open at the Golden Globe Awards this year for Best Drama Series, Actress and Actor that could be filled by “Servant.” The “Homecoming” nomination recognized past favorite Sam Esmail, who had won the same prize for creating “Mr. Robot.
