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.

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.

The main reason to give this version of "The 'Burbs'" a chance, of course, is the interplay between Palmer, Pell, Proksch and Julia Duffy ("Newhart") as the neighbors with a lot of time on their hands. They keep the energy high and the laughs coming.
