Everything Falls Apart in 'The Couple Next Door' Finale
I was pretty cheeky at the top of my recap for The Couple Next Door premiere. I assumed critics just didn't know how to have a good time anymore and suspend disbelief in favor of entertaining messiness. It turns out, and I hate to admit it, the critics were right. The Couple Next Door started out messy, got messier, and ended in a sty with very minimal fun along the way. I don't know how you have the pitch "Sam Heughan erotic thriller" and manage to make it not fun, but that's what happened here, and I'm going to be upset about it for a very long time.
As expected, the finale finally brought us up to the dramatic run through the woods, which took place outside of Evie's parents' cottage. Evie went there for some time to think after leaving Pete, who still needed to sleep off his anger hangover after being attacked the night before.
Danny and Becka also hit rock bottom in their marriage during the episode, but you know what they say. Once you hit the bottom, there's no place to go but up. They might be the only ones who make it out of this okay, but at what cost?
