Rachael’s Review
When their babysitter bails at the last minute, new parents Anne and Marco Conti decide they can still attend a dinner party at their next-door neighbor’s residence. Despite checking on baby Cora every half hour, when they return home, she is gone. Suspicion immediately falls on the panicked couple because they are both hiding secrets. A must-read psychological thriller, The Couple Next Door instantly pulled me in and didn’t let me move. I thought the tension and timing of the revelations worked well, and I loved all the twists even though I guessed the ending.

With recent popular dramas My Life with the Walter Boys, Platform 7 and A Nearly Normal Family based on a multitude of inspirations, viewers are asking questions about the basis of The Couple Next Door - with some confusion over the influence behind the series, we are here to clear that up.
