    HBO’s new docuseries Neighbors is billed, at least in some quarters, as a comedy, but it’s the most sobering non-news content I’ve seen on my TV in a while.

    It isn’t always fun to watch, but “Neighbors” is never not compelling.

    Some of the incidents that begin the disputes are a bit confusing. .... But some are so “normal” they’re crystal clear. .... It’s disputes like the ones in the second episode that feel more real to us.

    “Neighbors” has a bad tendency to gawk at its subjects; it often uses 360-degree camera effects, for instance, to convey characters’ agitation or decompensation. But it also has a curiosity and a belief, not unlike “How to With John Wilson,” that everyone is potentially interesting and worthy of empathy.
