Autumn Binged 2022 - The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window - miniseries

The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window (originally titled The Woman in the House) stars Gossip Girl herself, Kristen Bell. Alongside Bell, Michael Ealy, Tom Riley, Mary Holland, Cameron Britton, Shelley Hennig and Samsara Yett all star in the Netflix miniseries.

So I almost forgot to blog about this Netflix gem. I smashed it out in the dying days of autumn, while along with a few films and all the TV finales I forgot to talk about this little treat.

The less than four hour miniseries was released late January, 2022. How on Earth I missed it, is beyond me! It contains elements of dark comedy and thrillers, but is primarily a parody of mystery psychological thrillers. The eight-episode series is a super easy watch. If you are looking for something, new, easy to dip into this NSW long weekend, why not give this one a go. Take a look below.

A heartbroken woman named Anna (Bell) is unsure of whether or not she witnessed a murder. She mixes alcohol with medications prescribed by her therapist, has frequent hallucinations, and suffers from a crippling fear of the rain (ombrophobia). 

Anna is ostracised by members of her community, including her new neighbours, and labeled "crazy" by the police. Regardless of whether or not she saw a murder take place, Anna takes it upon herself to find the truth.

I loved Anna, the mystery/camp nature of the series. It had Desperate Housewives vibes mixed with all the films like the Girl on the Train/Sharp Objects etc.

With all the viewers giving Netflix the flick, this is the type of show I think they need to make more of. Yes Stranger Things is a big title, however it wraps with its next fifth season. Elite can only run for so much longer and Bridgerton bored fans of the first season with the recent second.

Tomorrow another hot tip to tune into over a Queen's B'day long weekender.
