Anyway, as a series it’s as daft as a brush but, on a surface level, it is entertaining. Go to Full Review

Audiences may have found The Couple Next Door fitted snugly into guilty pleasure territory, but this new helping is not ridiculous, or carnal, enough for that. Go to Full Review

If it was noirish nonsense you are after, The Couple Next Door supplied it by the bucket load. Go to Full Review

Round 2 is not only steamier, but things take an exceedingly chilling turn... Go to Full Review
Eilis O'Hanlon Irish Independent Jul 17
It’s trash, but it’s honest trash and there will always be a market for that. You’ll forget it five minutes later, but then that goes for 90pc of shows on TV, so it would be unfair to hold that against it. Go to Full Review

Annaluna A @RT15326485 Jan 7 It seemed both shallow and pretentious to me. It was as if the creators had thought they wanted to make a series about a classical ‘dangerous’ woman who breaks marriages and more with her sexy boundlessness, but then twist it so it turned out that she was innocent after all, and a victim, herself, and it was the nasty man, usually covered by his prestigious title as doctor, who ended up becoming the villain. In any case, this was very predictable from early on. The emptiness of the series’ soul was filled out with for instance insufferably long sex scenes which felt as if they were supposed to be ‘hip ‘ and daring, but really were just sO cringe. I liked a few features. One was that the partner that our main character, Mia, had fled from, was another type of man than the type who is usually portraied as a wife-abuser. So cute and nice did he look that it was not easy at first to see him as abusive. Second thing the very ending when Mia spots a new, pretty couple on a ship, smiling See more Andrei D @RT74856639 Sep 9 Thinks it is much smarter and sexier than it actually is See more Nicole S @RT27755985 Aug 15 I loved this series. Great plot.. worth a watch. See more Mike P @RT86238994 Aug 10 Classic example of a second series having run out of good plot ideas, so it relies on sex and shocks. Enough to keep Love Islands afficionados entertained, but no real depth or quality. See more Dru C @RT12183967 Jul 24 Utter rubbish , total waste of time. See more Katie L @RT67691283 Jul 23 Far fetched storyline....wooden acting....Am 4 episodes in, wondering whether to waste more time watching to the end of the series. See more Read all reviews
