Meanwhile, Decider penned: “We’re expecting to get a few more answers about Isabelle’s presence as the season of The Family Next Door goes on, and that should help us get a little more into a story that starts off witty and interesting in a lot of other ways.”
In its four-star review, ScreenHub added: “Just because all the pieces are familiar ones doesn’t mean the pattern remains the same; The Family Next Door is worth checking in on.”
