When I first read the title, I assumed this was a parody of the recent Netflix thriller The Woman in the Window (my review). After the 1^st episode finished and there wasn’t one sly satirical moment, I determined it was a for-real crime drama with a sprinkle of spoof. Kristen Bell plays a wife still haunted by the death of her daughter 3 years earlier. All she does is drink copious amounts of wine (she drinks so ravenously it gooses the absurdity) and stare out the window, which is where she witnesses a murder. Thus begin the twists that get wilder and crazier before the finale that’s so absurd, it’s hilarious. This is like an elevated Hallmark drama with some aspects that challenge logic and push reality (the epitaph on the daughter’s tombstone keeps changing). There’s no real tension and it takes a while to get interesting, but just accept some of the highly improbable developments and enjoy it for the over-the-top guilty pleasure that develops. By the way, the raves about her painting by her friends must certainly be another exaggeration for effect…they’re really not special. (3.5 / 5)
