…from the Girl in the Window or as I like to call it Murder she Drank. Because it had that feel, a Murder She Wrote kinda lone woman digging into the mystery. I was really reluctant to put this one on, it just didn’t feel like it was gonna be good, but I bowed down to peer pressure once I learnt it was a series and not a movie. I figured it could have one episode to grab my attention. But it took two and I still turned it off. Little did I know that I was going to feel the need to continue watching the next day. I mean, there was a mystery to be solved and I needed to know what all the strange looks and behaviours were about.
Oh, and yeah, there may be spoilers ahead so if you haven’t seen it, stop reading now.

Review Conclusion
How long does it take to fix a bird box anyway? There’s a lot of subtle clues to something creepy going on, a lot of red herrings, a lot of stuff that would just never happen in real life and a lot of wine and casseroles. And a lot of time wasted being unable to move away from the show for longer than it took to grab a snack (canned hot dogs and fried onions in burger buns -needed to be something quick to make and easy to eat) and another coffee. Look, it was ridiculous but I was unable to tear myself away because wrapped up in all that ridiculousness was the answer to the mystery, that was kinda a bigger mystery than it originally appeared. Whatever you thought of it, do you think he’s gonna maybe sell one of those raccoon lights? I wanna sneak it into the parents garden.
