Want a breakdown of exactly what happened? Here's the full explanation at the end of The Woman in the House. The show keeps you guessing throughout, with a central mystery that spoofs the genre. 'I was hoping to play a woman who was in a dark place, and I guess hope that the audience was laughing a little bit.' 'Usually, when you get to the root of it, I can laugh at myself if I've been in a dark place,' she added. But I also know – as someone who has certainly experienced grief, and suffers from anxiety and depression – there's a lot of comedy underneath these hard emotions. Lead star Kristen Bell opened up to Insider about her approach to the character, given her tragic backstory. The show may be tongue-in-cheek, but it also has some fairly heavy real-world themes bubbling under the surface. Many are hesitant to believe her, partly because of her drinking problem, which when mixed with pills can cause hallucinations, and partly because her behaviour since the death of her own daughter is strange to say the least. This part thriller, part mystery and part satire of thrillers stars Kristen Bell as Anna, a traumatised mother with a drinking problem, who heads off on her own whodunnit mission after becoming convinced she witnessed a murder in the house across the street. You'd have thought we would have guessed that a show with a name as convoluted as The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window would have a twisty, turny and complicated story – and yet, we still weren't completely prepared for what happened. The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window spoilers follow.
