The Woman in the House Across the Street From the Girl in the Window
There are crime thrillers with female protagonists like The Girl on the Train or The Woman in the Window, and then there’s the new The Woman in the House Across the Street From the Girl in the Window that dials it up a notch or two.

The Afterparty
Who says a murder mystery can’t be funny? Apple TV+ is putting a humorous spin on the classic genre with The Afterparty. The eight-episode series follows a detective who is investigating a murder that has occured at a high school reunion party. What’s really interesting is that each episode is about a character’s account of what happened that night, and is shot through the lens of a different popular film genre. So based on the character, an episode is shot as a musical or as an action movie.
