Aramide Tinubu Variety Ultimately, “The Couple Next Door” is no revelation, but it’s still a fun, guilty little treat. Jan 17, 2025 Full Review Kaiya Shunyata RogerEbert.com What comes of this is a series that ultimately abandons any sense of intrigue it once had, and skins its characters alive until they become husks of the intriguing people they once appeared to be. Jan 16, 2025 Full Review Sarah Ditum Times (UK) ... While it desperately wants to be edgy, The Couple Next Door is really as lousy with moralism as a prayer book. Dec 11, 2023 Full Review Ben Gibbons Screen Rant The acting is decent and the chemistry among the cast is fluid. However, the result is a muddled thriller series that races to a convoluted end. Rated: 4/10 Jan 19, 2025 Full Review Joel Keller Decider The Couple Next Door really leans on the stupidest parts of a plot that should just depend on the sexual chemistry among its four stars. Jan 18, 2025 Full Review Lacy Baugher Paste Magazine The Couple Next Door squanders the genuinely interesting tension between the characters at its center in favor of a confrontational, tonally jarring ending that doesn’t even entirely make sense. Rated: 5.3/10 Jan 17, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Mimi C I find it strange that this has so many low reviews. The number of one-star ratings makes it seem like people are intentionally trying to bring down its score. Personally, I’m really enjoying the series so far! The twists, turns, and plot development keep me engaged. Despite the overly harsh criticism, it’s definitely worth a watch. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/16/25 Full Review Catherine A I signed up for Starz just to see this show. So ridiculous, so disappointing. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/12/25 Full Review Audience Member This show is NOT sexy. At all. When did Starz get so boring???? I used to love their shows years ago when they did sexy stuff but this is boring, cheesy, cheap, not smart, super sad, yuck, yuck, yuck... Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/25 Full Review Kirstin S Incredible talent wasted on week writing. Cinematography is lacking as well with odd establishing shots of obvious miniature houses and the same neighborhood shots. Potential for a great story if theyd just focus. Seems a bit all over the place without structure. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/09/25 Full Review Diane L Sadly I can't give this series more than 1 1/2 stars because the mega talents of Eleanor Tomlinson (Poldark) and Sam Heughan (Outlander) are wasted on this so very average and sometimes boring show. This is definitely dumbing down their amazing abilities. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/25 Full Review Lindsey T I love this show and honestly can’t wait for season two! You can clearly see the chemistry between the cast. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/09/25 Full Review Read all reviews
