Who needs Instagram when you've got a front row seat to the most erotic entanglement on telly right now?
The former primary school teacher has since been sent to prison for attempted murder, the details of which can be seen in a newspaper that former peeing Tom Alan (Outnumbered's Hugh Dennis) is reading in the opening scene.
It's an interesting bit of writing, and finding yourself feeling sorry for the street pervert is likely to make some viewers feel uncomfortable. But writer David Allison wants you to sit with uncomfortable, challenging thoughts and to embrace the taboo, something that Charlotte (The Split's Annabel Scholey) and Jacob (Nashville's Sam Palladio) are given a crash course in when Mia (Greek Salad's Aggy K Adams) thrusts her way in their lives.
Heck, they're intentionally carving out time for one another, which arguably means more.
The Couple Next Door writer reveals "really different" change for season 2Annabel Scholey on The Couple Next Door: ‘Sex scenes are embarrassing – I warn my family to skip them’
But when Mia, a mysterious nurse from Norway, starts working at the hospital – and also moves next door, where Evie and Pete used to live – Jacob and Charlotte, now in their 40s, begin to question if what felt good and right for them when they first met has now expired.
The situation is complicated further by the return of Charlotte's dashing ex-boyfriend Leo (Heroes' Sendhil Ramamurthy), who was heartbroken when she left him for Jacob all those years ago, a decision she's now reevaluating as they seamlessly grow close once more.
While The Couple Next Door is heightened throughout – there are two intensely carnal sex scenes which were made for Gogglebox – the questions it poses will hit close to home for many viewers, even if you aren't planning on a pivot as bold as embarking on a journey of sexual exploration with your next door neighbour.
Of course, there are moments when the sheer absurdity of the plot can dilute the writing's attempts to raise those searching, knotty questions and themes. Yet, that certainly won't dilute your enjoyment if you liked season 1.
We quickly learn that she fled Norway in a hurry, hence her lack of belongings and the container full of cash she keeps stashed at home, which she supposedly stole from a man who is now trying to track her down. And there are a number of emotionally-charged flashbacks scattered throughout, teasing a traumatic backstory which has branded Mia emotionally. The cliches come thick and fast in The Couple Next Door. But it's executed in such a way that it somehow gets away with it.
It's like Midsomer over there, but with a lot more sex...
