Season 1 Review:
Showcasing relationship breakdowns, non-monogamous and otherwise, due to the unwillingness or inability to communicate effectively, make up for the more puzzling narrative stumbles. Ultimately, “The Couple Next Door” is no revelation, but it’s still a fun, guilty little treat.

Season 1 Review:
There's a distinct lack of subtlety and nuance in The Couple Next Door, with some characters resembling archetypes rather than real, flesh-and-blood people, but it's slickly made and it does have something to say about long-term relationships and the so-called rules we establish for ourselves, sex and desire and how our wants and needs shift over time.

Season 1 Review:
Heughan and Enoch are fine, making the most out of material that doesn’t dare to give their characters much interiority or, in Pete’s case, even a personality and family backstory. .... The going gets tough once the erotic thriller angle—its saving grace— is shed in favor of laughably predictable, meandering subplots like Danny’s foray into corruption that ties into Pete’s investigative reporting.

Season 1 Review:
The Couple Next Door avoids almost anything thoughtful, and as an erotic thriller, written and directed by men, its top gear stops at “hungry glances” as opposed to actual sexual provocation. Because its stars are inarguably attractive and capable of stirring up at least a modicum of chemistry, there are times when The Couple Next Door maybe lives up to its junk-food aspirations, but it’s mostly thin gruel.
