It’s ludicrous. It’s WAY over the top. It’s cheerfully offensive. And it’s an absolute hoot, thanks to the spot-on performance from Kristen Bell, the insightful scripts from writers who clearly know the genre and the deft directing work by the veteran Michael Lehmann, best known for “Heathers.”
-
The Woman In The House Across The Street From The Girl In The Window is a smart parody of a very parody-ripe genre, but it also works well because Kristen Bell plays the main role with the right degree of seriousness.
-
It’s a layered trifle that’s funny at a buffoonery level but also repays careful attention — from the just-so chunky knits the characters wear to the ever-changing epitaph on Anna’s daughter’s gravestone. There’s something truly life-affirming in these leaden times about the show’s dedication to silliness.

If you accept early on that "The Woman in the House Across the Street From the Girl in the Window" is trying to go over the top, you'll likely go along. The cast is uniformly good, and smart, Ms. Bell especially. ... "The Woman in the House Across the Street From the Girl in the Window" just finds the fun in popping genre balloons.

Jan 28, 2022Kristin 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.
-
Jan 31, 2022Some of the worst writing I have ever seen, packed with inconsistencies and unlikely behavior.
