Feb 4, 2022Somehow Rear Window is almost 70 years older and still one thousand times better than this "tribute" to the genre. The writing is terrible, the pacing is terrible, most of the performances (exception of Bell) are terrible. Simply not worth your time

Feb 1, 2022This is poorly acted, poorly written and the payoff is as unbelievable as the acting. This is a complete and utter waste of time. This is worse than a LMN or Hallmark movie. So many key aspects of the main characters backstory are unrealistic even for the most creative person.

Feb 1, 2022Basically the epitome of bad television. Independently wealthy rich white alcoholic who lives in a mansion, struggles with her emotions and goes a bit mental. Awful writing, cliche characters and absolutely no substance. I'm a big Kristen Bell fan and thought she was amazing in The Good Place, which was a fantastic series. But she is really wasted on this terrible mess of a show.

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

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.

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.
-
If you want a comedy, you’ll find very few laughs here. And if you want to watch a thriller, there are plenty of better ones on the same streaming service – maybe that’s why The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window is too nervous to properly twist the knife.
-
Overall, The Woman in the House Across the Street From the Girl in the Window is short enough to not be a complete time suck yet long enough for the central gag to overstay its welcome, but honestly, if you’re on Netflix looking for a series that is funny, involves murder and wine, and is also suspenseful, you would probably be better off watching or rewatching Dead to Me.
