Anyone watching "The woman in the house...

across the street from the girl in the window"? Is it worth watching?

1. I love the concept. It looks like a spoof of all those awful "drunk and crazy housewife solves a

murder blandly" books that seem to be what passes for thrillers these days. It's every book in Reese Witherspoon's list.

I will totally be watching but won't get to it till later today.

5. Watching now. It's wry but not as funny as I wanted it to be.

And YET, I am still watching because there is a murder mystery in there and I am a sucker for a mystery.

9. I agree

It could have been funnier, but I still enjoyed it. And they set it up for a second season.

6. I just finished it. I recommend it.

Very well done parody of those I-saw-a-murder-but-no-one-believes-me stories. The early episodes are driven by the mystery elements but the cliches and goofiness begin to pile up. Funny, but subtly so, at least in the beginning, then more outrageous from the fifth episode on. For me, the tonal shift occurred with the appearance of the ventriloquist dummy. But it works as a thriller, too, as a good parody should.

7. Just finished episode 4.

It's pretty amusing so I'll stick with it. Cracks me up the way her wine glass can hold a full bottle!

8. Yes, the wine glasses

I remember saying to someone "Why do these stories always have people drinking lots of wine to wash down medication. In real life, the person would probably die!" But that was before I fully realized it was a parody. It reminds of the Netflix movie Army of Thieves, which I eventually realized was a parody of heist movies.

10. Watched season 1 yesterday

I liked it. Improbable at times, but I liked it.

11. Goofy fun and scary. I'm still worried about the mailbox...
