The Woman in the Wall throws a whole load of stuff at the wall to see what sticks.
-
Despite the performances, the main issue plaguing “The Woman in the Wall” is that though the core story is compelling, it is weighed down and muddled by too many unnecessary genre elements.
-
It takes a few head-scratching plot shortcuts and is notably reliant on that inevitable trope of trauma-informed serial television, the character who is too emotionally constipated to reveal information that would hasten the resolution of the plot before the allotted six episodes.
-
Nothing feels finished in The Woman in the Wall, like a half-edited draft gone to print instead of a fully-formed piece of work. It’s as dissatisfying as any of the many other police procedurals cranked out by networks and streamers by the dozen, and not worth the price of admission.
-
Creator Joe Murtagh and director Harry Wootliff can’t quite stick the landing. The result relies too often on pained expressions, distorted flashbacks, and cop drama tropes to really do this story justice.
