The Woman Across The Street From The Girl In The Window

I always love a psychological thriller drama, and likewise I actually enjoyed this show a lot and would rate it very highly, provided that

  • The name of the show could have been shortened. It's unnecessarily long.
  • The sloppy writings and silly logic can be forgiven
  1.  Are you kidding me? The bring-your-daughter-to-work day involves an FBI agent bringing her daughter into a jail, and having her in the same room during an interview with a high profile serial killer, and this supposedly highly trained FBI agent left her alone with the profile killer when he was asked to leave the room to receive some updates, which led to the death of her daughter. What?
  2. The killer is revealed to be the little kid, who somehow had the ability to chop up her stepmother's body into parts and buried them far from her house? A kid, who cannot drive, who didn't appear to have even hit puberty? What?
  3. And a little kid like that could have carried out a premeditated murder over the course of a few years and framed her father and the lovely neighbour? If this is Orphan, okay, it makes sense. But this is a genuine little kid. WTF?
  4. A FBI-trained psychologist picked an ex-violent criminal to work as a gardener and had no compulsion whatsoever to inform his wife about his potentially dangerous background at all?
If the above could be forgiven, I would rate it 9.5/10. Nice story.

But it betrays any sentient sense of logic, so the final score might hover around 2-3/10. I still enjoyed it, if I ignore these flaws.
