Long winded parody
30 January 2022
' The woman in the house across the street from the girl in the window ' on netflix...

I have watched both the 2 films that this parody series is based upon.

I did have some serious laugh out loud moments across the series ( like choking laugh loud that i almost died ) but these were in-between mildly humorous parodies relating to the 2 films it was based upon ( alongside other hitchcock tropes )

Unless you have seen ' Girl on the train ' or ' Woman in the window ' then you might miss the entire point.

Its 8 episodes at 30 mins long and its overkill because between truly hilarious moments was a lot of bland storytelling that lacked the impact to be parody.

A fast paced movie parody would have suited it better but maybe this is a new format for the Naked Gun, Scary Movie type thing.

1 big laugh for every other episode is kinda wasting my time tho....

I could edit this down myself to 90 mins and make it hilarious and still maintain the narrative.

Im sure this was a border line commitee decision... Tv or not Tv that is the question.

Hmmm nah cheesy movie at best.
