Most people in this thread will say your friend is slow.

I just think the series was poorly directed.

I will say episodes 5/6? were very Naked Gun. Sex on the stairs and in the bowl of corks? I mean, the turtleneck scene was very Priscilla Presley.

The friend is slow.

Not slow. This was just poorly done.

And, so much was so ridiculously unbelievable to begin with:

like anyone would take a child into a prison ward, much less high security one with violent criminals...and leave her alone with a serial killer. Come on, even basic protocol wouldn't have allowed a kid to be back there.

And how the f****k did that tiny kid move an entire dead body in a matter of minutes and dig and bury it? And, how could a 65 pound girl fight with the strength they showed her to have at the end. I could literally pick up my very athletic 65-pound kid and throw him across the room. As many sports as he plays, a 10-year isn't k*cking my *ss.

and the dumb *ss husband who let a serial kid eat his kid hired a mass murder mental patient as a handyman. Come on!!! That is worth never letting the man around you or your kid again.

And, how was this guy no fired for breaking protocol and leaving his young daughter in a room with a cannibalistic serial killer?

I just wanted to smack the sh*t out of all of these stupid people.

Omg. You missed all the points.

Is THAT what this is supposed to be? dark humor? Dead To Me has that down and did it perfectly. You....eh not so much but still loved it. So far I'm not seeing humor in woman across the street. What am I missing?

I absolutely loved 'Dead to Me' and I absolutely hated this.

I also loved 'Barry'. Dark and hilarious.

YES! I haven't seen Barry yet, but it's on my list. I loved Dead to Me - so funny. And I also loved Bad Girls. Dark comedy, good writing.

Dead to me was trash.

I think at the end on the plane she realized her husband was drugging her with the meds he prescribed. Like it was something other than xanax.

I couldn’t get past the first episode. I hated it.

I'm just not sure you can have a serial killer eat the daughter in front of the dad and have the murderer be who the murderer is and have it appeal to, let's face it, older moms who love true crime/thrillers.

Maybe if it was 6 episodes and they upped the absurdity even just a bit.

Yeah, this didn't work. It was supposed to be absurd but somehow it wasn't. I think they should have gone sort of bonkers with it - like they didn't have a kid. They were infertile and their "kid" was a raccoon or something like that.

I still think this has potential, but they have to get someone into the writer's room that can write for this. Naked Gun style is too broad, but Season 1 was too straight.

I started watching and thought I had vaguely heard stuff about this, then started thinking this seemed an awful lot like a movie I'd seen (yes, the Amy Adams movie). So I get this is a parody but after 2 episodes I'm over it.

Or a doll, who they keep in a fully-kitted out nursery, then they invite people over to meet their son - and one of those people is a serial killer/coworker who posts on DCUM.

The problem is the genre they are spoofing is already absurd.
There was too little distinction between the two.

I have no idea what the plane scene was about - unless it was an introduction to the second season?

[Anonymous]

Isn't this based on the mystery of the similar title? Very good and sad. They took it in a dark humor direction, unlike the book which plays it straight and tragic.
