This is funnier than the actual show. (On episode 2)

It was played too straight with a few moments of absurdity that were supposed to make it “funny.” (Dog paintings, tombstone, stupid overly dramatic lines.)

I liked it and I love Kristin hell (she’s great in everything!) but I thought they switched around between a few different tones which was a little off putting. I wasn’t crazy about the serial killer ate my 9 year old…seemed like not a funny joke, but I guess I get why they had to make it so absurd because drunk driver killed my 9 year old is even less funny.
On a total side note, her house is gorgeous. It’s over the top rich person (I was wondering how much her paintings sold for given that we know what a FBI psychologist makes)—that deep blue was just phenomenal and I actually loved her art work. Is that a real artist’s work? Can I buy it for my house? Off to google that….

I liked it, absurdity and all.

It wasn't nearly as absurd or funny as I had thought it would be. Love Kristen Bell, but disappointed.

Binged this after a tough day at work. I dunno. It was too serious for a parody and too silly for a thriller. 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.

This was one of the more subtle and hilarious moments. She says bingo throughout the series when she stumbles into a clue. It’s funny because she doesn’t have to do much detective work to hit a clue. She merely looks it up on her phone and within a few seconds she gets her answer. Then she says bingo as if it’s a big epiphany. It’s a stab at social media, lack of privacy on the internet, ease of Google etc. Plus the woman is lazy in her detective work. She pours a huge glass of wine and gets out her phone wearing a bathrobe. No gum shoe work there.

It’s quite funny for a person who didn’t grow up with a phone in their hand.

I wasn't a fan of this show. It wasn't really funny and the stuff done to try to be funny fell flat.

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.

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.

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.
