    The best that can be said about "The Woman in the House" is that it is equal in heft and worth to your average women-in-peril cable movie. But if you expect more from Bell and everyone else in the cast, its shortcomings just kill it for us.

    Other than the start of the finale, Woman is never mysterious in the slightest and only fitfully funny.

    If the thin characters weren’t dispiriting enough, the plotting is insanely ridiculous, but never in a way that’s entertaining. Of course, our increasing obsession with killers and victims is fertile ground for parody, but this show never really qualifies. It’s a bizarrely dry show in terms of humor.

    Kristin Bell does a great job, but this is an exhausting and failed experiment. The twists are all over the place, the show is all over the place.

    Some of the worst writing I have ever seen, packed with inconsistencies and unlikely behavior.

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. Ok.. I think its the worst ending I've ever seen...

    The only way this could make sense is if that little girl had some kind of super powers..
    Seriously who thought this was a good way to end this ? A super evil, super strong 10yr old that messed up adults one after another..
    Oh god this was so bad and I want my 2.5 hours back.
