I laughed so hard
aboalhyjaa28 January 2022
Who would thought that? Definitely not me!

Awesome episode with a tip of tongue cringe to spice things up and the ending makes a perfect end for a mini series like this!

Last minute...
ClassicsJunkie8 February 2022
Warning: Spoilers
I finished this series rather quickly because I genuinely liked it. I didn't sense any humor in the first episode but it came alive rather well in the rest of the episodes. My humor is a little different but I was able to laugh afew times throughout the series.

The lighthouse master was a trip!

I laughed the hardest at the final episode with the raccoon lamp scene.

I almost gave this episode a 6 because I figured out it was the little girl the moment they mentioned how close together the wife and teacher's death was. But thank to the few laughs and being a dark comedy, which I can say was decently pulled off, I settled on a 7.

Veronica Mars 2.0
PNWgal12 February 2022
I don't know if I should laugh or shake my head or wish for my time back I watched this. I mean, is Buell EVER going to finish the mailbox? And is no one gonna mention Buell just carrying around dead animals? Lampcoon?! The satire is dripping so hard it might as well be the rain that she is afraid of.

Throw down showdown
Calicodreamin28 January 2022
Great battle royale to start of the finale and actually a fairly decent twist. A few good laughs and a heartwarming moment. Though it would have been better if it ended about midway, didn't need all that ending.

Spoof, satire, whatever, this was entertaining.
Sleepin_Dragon5 February 2022
Anna thinks she's worked out exactly what's going on, but all is not what it seems.

I think I suspected almost everyone, but that outcome, that was just crazy, crazy bonkers, crazy off the wall, but crazy good fun.

They took the clichés from every single thriller, and mashed then ho here good and proper. This was really funny, it also dared to dabble a little into a taboo subject.

That ending was just great, and an unexpected guest performance, that was a huge surprise.

The Mystery of Seat 2A, is that code for a second series perhaps, we can only hope I guess, I would love to see more of this.

They nailed it!

Bingo! 8/10.

Eh... dark?
kellyq126 May 2022
That was a very dark ending with who the killer is and who dies, etc. Except that part plays like a spoof even though the killer's setup for the entire series was pretty much dramatic. What a very, very strange show. Then after the reveal, the entire second half of the show plays like a straight drama. I feel like this show was unique and fun, but it had the potential to be even better.

Really...
ashleycofer1 February 2022
Warning: Spoilers
All this build up and the little girl is the killer? Her fight scene with the kid is just laughable. So disappointed cuz this was pretty good up till this point. It's not even logically believable a child is capable or that much calculation. Come in now.

IT'S A SATIRE!
pdewhitt-22 February 2022
It takes every trope of the thriller genre and dumps them all in together. It's brilliant! All of weirdness and bad dialogue were totally planned and made us giggle through the whole thing. Kristen Bell said on Jimmy Kimmel that some people wouldn't get the joke, and I guess she was right.

Hard to believe
AvionPrince164 March 2023
Warning: Spoilers
So the name of the killer was the daughter of the neighbour. Pretty weird and non sense in my opinion. How is that possible? I am clearly not convinced by the episode and the finale. Its pretty hard to believe and dont make any sense for me. So how we can believe a 8 year old girl did all that and have the conscience of all this and just wanted to kill people like this.? Come on! It s not really believable at any point. I need to say that i noticed that the dialogues sometimes feel really bad and superficial. Sometimes its pretty useless and didnt really appreciate it. The end let us know that maybe they will have a season 2? Maybe? I feel that the end was a little bit rushed in my opinion but it was ok i guess.

I'm going crazy here please tell me this is a joke
dhoome-111 February 2022
Warning: Spoilers
So hear me out here,I don't know what have I just watched, I binge watched this mini series in one setting not because it was great but because it was shockingly awful. I'm amazed how a series could be so stupid in every aspect. Ok so let me start listing the scenes that were hilariously awful in acting in writing and in directing. So I'll start with the scenes that didn't make any sense. 1/ who the F takes their child to their work day while working in a prison LOL he took her to the interrogation room passing by prison cells and inmates!! What!! Ok moving on 2/why on earth would you interrogate or analyze a freaking serial killer and a Hannibal infront of your daughter! 3/ do you think this is where this madness ends? Noooo he ( the father) was requested by one of the officers, So he leaves the room with the criminal and his daughter their and the door closes!! The criminal didn't just kill the girl he also ate her! No worries moving on. 4/The hospital scene after Anna was rescued and she kept repeating how she feels( it's like being hit bla bla bla. What was that why would anyone think this was good writing oh My God I'm loosing my mind. 5/ When Anna discoverd that Buell's been living in the attic the whole time and when she called her husband to ask her about Buell's past and he casually said he was a crazy person who murdered his entire family and I brought him to work here, he was so calm like it was the right thing to do! 6/ The airplane seen when she found out that the old lady sitting next to her was murdered and of course when she told the flight attendant and came to take another look no one was their ( typical ) < not gonna lie this was one of the least horrible scenes. My theory is The writer is on crack the director is also on crack the cast is also on crack and The whole viewers are on crack.

Weird, silly and nonsense finale: 10/10
sealcampneto31 January 2022
The series finale is so stupid. And that's why it is perfect. It is by far the best and most hilarious episode of the show. They made a perfect conclusion to one of the most brilliant satire I've ever seen. I'd recommend this show to everyone who likes thriller genre.

Really stupid
danaprn22 March 2022
Not funny enough to be a comedy and too stupid to be a drama. I certainly won't watch season 2. Maybe you should be drunk when you watch so that you can find some humor in it.

Fantastic twist
gridoon202417 February 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Just when you thought the series might disappont you with a predictable finale, it takes a sharp left turn - two sharp left turns, actually - and surpasses all expectations. Great plot twist, makes absolute sense while at the same time being thoroughly unexpected. Kickass crazy funny gory fight scene. And a perfect setup for a second season. However, given that this one probably went over the heads of those expecting something like "Naked Gun" because of the title, I doubt we'll be getting one. Kristen Bell was a delight. 8/10 for the episode and the show as a whole.

Very Very Dark Comedy/Horror?????
revba8 March 2022
Warning: Spoilers
I was amused at trying to figure out scenes that was funny which there was a few instances i.e. When Kristen Bell filled her wine glass very full each time and drank it like water. Staring out her window to the neighbor's window across the street that was amusing.

Her ex-husband's character was funny, but I did not catch the humor in his character in all his lines.

What I did NOT find amusing is the absurdity of using the 9-year-old girl as the killer in the final episode. Those scenes were HORRIBLE!!

My rating 5/10.

Was that Cruella?
bartonboy-5300511 February 2022
We really enjoyed the series. Thought we knew where it was headed a few times, but the writers fooled us each time.

Don't believe the trolls bashing it! Their mothers need to take their computers away from them!

It gets moving after a few episodes and is worth the watch.

The last seen on the air liners was a hoot!

We really hope they do a Season2!

Fun to watch
cb-6437830 January 2022
This is a great one to binge. Yes there are a few funny moments in it and this is not a heavy one to watch but I really liked it. I hope there will be another season.

Terrible.
benny-236253 February 2022
God this episode is so terrible, I'm actually angered by it.

I wanted to watch it just to complete this series and hope to get some resolution/answers (after a couple of the previous episodes/situations were questionable), but I really wish that I didn't have.

It is genuinely dumb and ridiculous. And not even in a funny satirical way that they might have been trying for in some instances. Just stupid.

It's also just frustrating to watch when some things are left absent or not given appropriate attention to, or when messed up things just aren't explained properly and don't have the attention drawn to them when they clearly should.

And then also couple the above ridiculousness together with other messed up actually serious ideas throughout the whole series of things like psychosis and being unsure about reality, and your character questioned from the people around you etc etc., and it is even more of a mess.

I love Kristen Bell, I wanted to like it. I was unsure about the rest of the series. But no.

Genuinely an offensively terrible last episode.

The worst episode of the season
UdntF00lm34 March 2022
I liked the final reveal but the episode felt flat and disappointing. And please stop showing dead animals for laughs, thanks. Showing dead animals or killing animals in tv shows is not funny nor creepy. It's just cruel,

Take it as it is
Cragsidebarry8 January 2023
It shouldn't take much to realise this is tongue in cheek. Come on, the title must surely give that away.

Once into it, the production is something of an adult drama crossed with a teen horror. At times that means it gets a tad irritating, but provided you don't take it too seriously you can usually ride these moments.

The 20' minutes per episode is just enough to keep the story developing nicely, while also making it enjoyable and in no way tedious.

The revelation of 'whodunnit' also caught us out. Really clever! However, we were uncomfortable with how the next few minutes panned out, and they were drawn out far too long.

Oh, and a nice lead in to either the end of the programme, or a possible next season. I hope it's the latter.

What the heck!
cgpnyc6 February 2022
Who changed the tombstone from what it said in Episode 1 and why? The new writing doesn't even make sense. What does there is no "I" in heaven mean? The ending SUCKS! Super anticlimactic. I am disappointed. My food sucked, my desert sucked and the ending sucked.

Right off a cliff....
yqywqdf1 February 2022
This series wasn't too bad through the first 7 episodes. Then..... it just fell off a cliff. A decent whodunit until the "twist" which was so unbelievable and it was reminiscent of a "Chucky" movie. They're obviously set up for a second season, but I just can't take any of the characters seriously after that laughable turn of events.

Also, I get it's just a Netflix series, but SOME believability would have been nice.

Lastly, because I have to say it, the ex-husband's character is the biggest boob in the entire series.

What have I just watched ?
thfc-0110020 February 2022
Is it a comedy? Is it to be taken seriously? I don't know, doubt anyone does but what I can say is I had to watch it all just to find out where it was going and how it would end !!
