Critic Reviews

Season 1 Review:
If its ambitions are admirable, the execution is unwieldy. A lumpy, though not unpleasant, mélange of uneven tones, thin characters and less-than-airtight reveals, The ’Burbs may not send anyone running for the hills — but it’s unlikely to inspire anyone to put down stakes there, either.

Season 1 Review:
I suppose most of it adds up even if doesn’t always feel that way while watching it. It hops from tone to tone, and goes on a little long, in the modern manner, which dilutes the suspense. The characters are half-, let’s say three-quarters-formed, which is formed enough; everyone plays their part.

Season 1 Review:
It’s not terrible. At times it is enjoyable, if silly and overly mannered. But if it is hoped it will become a “binge watch” for the second series, for which it is clearly set up, the dialogue needs to be much sharper. And, if you ask me, darker. Scenes end and wither without a punchline.

Season 1 Review:
All of this is investigated in the low-stakes style of Only Murders in the Building. Unfortunately, The ’Burbs, produced by Family Guy’s Seth MacFarlane, isn’t half as funny or camp as that show. Nor does it have the thrills and chills of Netflix’s The Watcher, which trod similar ground. What it does have is Whitehall, in quite the worst piece of transatlantic casting since they put Keanu Reeves in Bram Stoker’s Dracula.
