The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window REVIEW

Netflix: The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window

By: Lori Walker Sartain

I have mixed emotions about this series.  I started watching simply out of curiosity because of the title.  It is the longest title of a TV, ever!  I thought, okay this might be special.  There are several productions with Kristen Bell that I have really enjoyed, so I began the journey.

After watching the first episode, I was hooked.  I wanted to know more.  I wanted to know more about her character, what happened to her and where this train wreck was going.  Kristen does an amazing job with her character.  I believed her.  I began to binge watch every chance I had to see what happened next.

It is dark.  It is complicated.  It makes you feel a little gritty after watching it.  You are happy to be you and not Anna, Bell's character.  I could not wait to get to the crescendo of the plot before the end of season one.

Then the fat lady sang.

I won't reveal what happens, as I hate for someone to tell me the ending to anything I have not watched yet but I will say I was disappointed in the turn of events.  It was not predictable at all.  It did throw a curve ball but the ball they threw made me a bit disgusted.  

I won't be watching it again.  Not because the acting was bad but the storyline took a turn to a place I just didn't like.  I enjoy a mystery, a dark script, a twist and wow, I can't believe that happened but I think there is a line that is drawn in the sand that they crossed and as much as I enjoyed the rest, I will find another good show to binge.
