Aisha Dee reveals all about her Hulu series ‘Watching You’

“Watching You” is the story of Lina, played by Aisha Dee, a paramedic in Australia who is happily engaged but sometimes makes some questionable choices.

At a party thrown by her friends, she has an encounter with a man named Dan, which turns into a one-night stand. Here’s the twist, someone secretly recorded the encounter and sent the footage to Lina. And as she tries to find out who’s responsible for all of it, she, her friends and her fiancé find themselves in lots of danger.

“Basically this encounter she has with a stranger starts a domino effect in her life and things start to fall apart and… lots of chaos. Sexy chaos,” Dee told On The Red Carpet. “The first three episodes versus the second three episodes, it definitely takes a turn and it goes even deeper and it kind of affects you in a way that’s really unexpected.”

Just what did she see in Dan, this newcomer in her life?

“I think that the thing between them that’s really interesting is like the power struggle. It’s two people kind of fighting to be top dog,” Dee explained. “And I think Dan represents someone who’s the first person that has really kind of challenged her in this new way and yeah, I think they just mirror each other’s trauma.”

The idea of her character being watched and filmed was intriguing to Dee, but also a little unnerving!

“I think the themes of the show are so universal for people, even though it’s this kind of heightened world where someone is literally being videotaped and blackmailed with the video tape,” she said. “We’re kind of so deeply accessible at all times and that’s kind of unsettling.”

Dee said the script kept her guessing until the end and believes the audiences will be on the edge of their seats as well.

All six episodes of “Watching You” are streaming now on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+.

The Walt Disney Company is the parent company of Hulu and this station.
