‘The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window’ review: Kristen Bell dials ‘S’ for ‘silly’ in Netflix series spoof

The basic conceit is that Bell’s Anna, still working with the tragic decline of her youngster and demise of her marriage, finds consolation gulping down wine and staring out her suburban window, right up until the arrival of an beautiful neighbor (“Da VInci’s Demons” star Tom Riley) with a younger daughter begins to shake her out of her stupor.

Anna’s clumsy flirtation with the dude turns into even additional uncomfortable when she catches sight of his product-quite, flight-attendant girlfriend (Shelley Hennig), till Anna witnesses what guaranteed looks like a brutal murder — except, of study course, she by some means drunkenly hallucinated the full detail.

Bell as a result joins a long line of protagonists who are unable to solely have faith in their have senses, whilst her tries to influence the police, mates and her ex-partner (Michael Ealy) that some thing happened primarily drop on deaf ears. In its place, her alarms provoke much more concern about regardless of whether she could possibly be getting rid of her grip on fact.
