    This is an absurdist tribute to a genre; it’s not a sincere show. My heart goes out to the people who watched this without understanding what they were getting themselves into. It didn’t nail the “Lifetime parody” thing it was going for, but it was entertaining and definitely unforgettable. If you enjoyed the movie “They Came Together”, you’ll probably enjoy this.

If you watched that movie and got super angry, you’ll want to avoid this show as well.… Expand

    If you watching it as a comedy instead of a suspenseful mystery, it's not bad.

    Good satire of the genre, plot is clever and Kristen Bell is great in the role . Right touch of tonque in cheek and parody. Many critics take themselves too seriously too admit the genre is less serious than it really is

    No idea why this is been so negatively reviewed, I thought it was a brilliant parody of a specific type of movie. If you're familiar with the genre it's making fun of, this movie is a great and entertaining watch.

    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.
