We’re always looking for something to keep the cold grip of cabin fever at bay, now that we’re smack-dab in the dreaded DOW (Dead Of Winter). Just started watching: **’The Woman In The House Across The Street From The Girl In The Window’, Netflix** Had high hopes for this one, with Kristen Bell starring. But it’s been a disappointmnet so far (we’re about halfway through; S1 is only 8 episodes, 1/2 hour each, so it’s at least a quick binge). It’s sort of a murder mystery parody, but the ridiculous title is the most amusing thing about it. The show seems to be trying to be both a parody and an actual murder-mystery, and failing to be either, very well. There’s also an unreliable narrator thing going on that is just annoying. Going to watch: **’Murderville’, Netflix** (coming out Feb. 4?) Cautiously looking forward to this one. A Will Arnett project. Another crime show parody, but with an interesting twist: the show is mostly scripted, but it features a different celeb guest host every week who does not have access to the script, so must improv reactions to what they hear. I have mixed experiences with my enjoyment of improv. Could be funny, could be awful. **Reacher, Amazon** (Feb. 4) I saw a one-minute preview on Amazon. If you were disappointed in Cruise’s tiny Reacher, this new guy definitely looks the part. From what I could see in the short trailer, it seems like it will be faithful to its source material, so I have cautious high hopes for some straight-up ass-kicking action. **’Pam & Tommy’, Hulu** (Premieres tonight?) Just hoping for some dumb fun with this one. Some interesting casting choices, like Nick Offerman, who’s always great in whatever he’s in. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-shows-have-you-either-begun-to-watch-or-are-looking-forward-to-watching-feb-2022-edition/958799)._
