Rupert Grint's best TV show is one you've probably never seen

Following the release of the finalHarry Pottermovie,Harry Potterand theDeathly Hallows: Part 2, the Golden Trio went on to scoop up some great roles, even if none could ever be as big as the Wizarding World.

Though Daniel Radcliffe (Harry) took some time to find his footing post-Potter, he's since starred in quirky films likeSwiss Army ManandWeird: The Al Yankovic Storyand the beloved TV showMiracle Workers, in addition to his work on the stage. Emma Watson (Hermione) has been more selective since hanging up her Gryffindor robes, but she's still appeared in great movies likeLittle WomenandThe Perks of Being a Wallflower. As forRupert Grint(Ron), he's starred in a handful of shows that have gone under the radar. One, titledServant, is totally under-watched and deserves more attention.

With an impressive90% on Rotten Tomatoes, horror seriesServantreceived critical acclaim during its four-season run, though I don't know many people who watched it, especially not Potterheads. Though I will warn you; this isn't a show for children.Servantis rated TV-MA for violence, gore, sex, nudity, profanity, alcohol, drugs, and frightening scenes. If you're okay with that, then let me explain to you whyyou should be watching this show!

Rupert Grint is fantastic in Apple TV+'sServant

Created by Tony Basgallop with M. Night Shyamalan serving as showrunner,Servantdebuted in 2019. The series follows a married couple, Dorothy and Sean, living in Philadelphia. Dorothy is a TV news reporter, while Sean is a professional chef who stays at home. Though on paper they seem to have a happy marriage, it doesn't take long for the truth to start coming out.Servantopens up with the couple hiring a nanny named Leanne to take care of their baby Jericho. But this baby isn't actually a living, breathing baby — it's a doll. And while Leanne seems like a sheltered, innocent young woman, her troubled past begins to haunt her as we wonder how she ends up here.

The cast ofServantis very strong, including Lauren Ambrose (Six Feet Under) as Dorothy, Toby Kebbell (Black Mirror) as Sean, Nell Tiger Free (The First Omen) as Leanne, and Grint as Dorothy's chaotic younger brother Julian. Though Dorothy does her best to put on the guise of a happy, successful family, she can't just ignore her problems forever. Julian is there to give her a reality check, while also always being on her side for support. Julian typically serves as comedic relief throughoutServant. Although he's an alcoholic and has issues of his own, he's known to bring quick wit and sarcasm to every conversation and is genuinely hilarious.

Though Julian is suspicious of Leanne at first, they eventually form a close bond as he tries to figure out her deal. He's both in love with her and afraid of her. Julian also has a close relationship with Sean, especially when it comes to confronting Dorothy about a traumatic event in her life she's forced herself to forget.Servantis everything you want out of a horror show — twisty mystery, unpredictable moments, scares, and even humor. We also get great character development which keeps you rooting for everyone even when they're being terrible. Julian is an absolute highlight of the show, which might not be true if Grint wasn't playing him.

Throughout its four seasons,Servantalways feels fresh and surprising. If you're a fan of theHarry Potterfranchise and are comfortable with the horror genre, I'd definitely recommend checking it out. Not only is Grint great in it, but it's just overall an awesome show. Check out the trailer for the first season below to take a closer look at what to expect:
