A spoof gone too far

Don't get confused if you start watching the American comedy-thriller miniseries The Woman In The House Across The Street From The Girl In The Window and feel like you have seen it before. For whatever reason, The Woman In The House is a revamped version of the plot of another Netflix original titled The Woman In The Window, which came out last year and featured Amy Adams.

Without Adams' presence, the new version has expanded into an eight-part miniseries with actress Kristen Bell playing the lead. So, with an already familiar story, The Woman In The House has been met with mixed reactions by audiences given the fact that the original came out less than a year ago. One may be a bit baffled at why this series even exists. Worry not, because this show has its own story too. While it's more or less like a parody of The Woman In The Window, it's not constantly making fun of already existing material. The Woman In The House is a fleshed-out version of the original and told as a satirical comedy with a sense of humour that ranges from subtle and silly to downright ridiculous.
