‘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 essential conceit is that Bell’s Anna, still dealing with the tragic decline of her boy or girl and demise of her marriage, finds consolation gulping down wine and staring out her suburban window, till the arrival of an desirable neighbor (“Da VInci’s Demons” star Tom Riley) with a young daughter commences to shake her out of her stupor.

Anna’s clumsy flirtation with the man gets even a lot more awkward when she catches sight of his design-rather, flight-attendant girlfriend (Shelley Hennig), right up until Anna witnesses what absolutely sure seems like a brutal murder — unless, of course, she in some way drunkenly hallucinated the complete matter.

Bell therefore joins a lengthy line of protagonists who cannot totally trust their possess senses, whilst her attempts to encourage the police, friends and her ex-spouse (Michael Ealy) that a thing happened largely slide on deaf ears. Instead, her alarms provoke extra problem about irrespective of whether she may be dropping her grip on reality.
