M Night Shyamalan’s acclaimed psychological thriller, Servant, has always walked a fine line. Tentatively balancing the harsh realities of bereavement with the undeniably surreal world inhabited by fictional Philadelphia couple Sean and Dorothy Turner, it’s a series that continues to attract classic horror fans in their droves.

“It’s in the writing,” says Shyamalan, 51, of the show’s unique tone. “There’s a kind of subtlety to how we approach the genre part of it, how we approach the scares and the darkness.”
