What to Know

Critics Consensus

At times fascinating in a can't-look-away fashion, Neighbors displays all the pitfalls within the spectrum of human decency, and lack thereof, in a mostly unpleasant series.

3/5
It is funny, as people in their strangeness often are, but also a bleak indictment of the current state of the US. Go to Full Review
Tyler Foggatt The New Yorker Mar 12
The series offers the best depiction of social media -- and the experience of being on it -- that I’ve seen on television. Go to Full Review
John Anderson Wall Street Journal Feb 17
The series is a guilty kind of pleasure, though the pleasure is mostly grounded in a realization that you are not them. And that the things that really set these people off are often the things you overlook, if you want to be a good neighbor. Go to Full Review
Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media Feb 17
1/5
There are no positive lessons or learning opportunities here. Instead, Neighbors is an attempt to exploit the worst in people for humorous reality entertainment. Go to Full Review

B N. @Kabeju 2d It’s entertaining and funny for a day you want a background show. Its definitely staged and acted as many of the neighbors have been on tv or looking for a moment of fame, however it’s embarrassing to know this silly fights happen in USA . I come from a country where you learn how to share and learn to give . Fun to watch with your neighbor. See more Joe R. @ApeElvis Mar 21 I struggled with the number of stars to give Neighbors far longer than I should have. Then I chickened out and gave it 3 out of 5 stars. If it’s fake, it’s too real. If it’s real, it’s too sad. See more Jason B @MrMoovees Mar 19 This might be the purest distillation of the defining American ethos of property ownership; every man a king, every home a castle. No one in the entire series is particularly defensible and the often insane pettiness of the disagreements that consumes their lives to which we are invited in to gawk and snicker at makes them look foolish, it's hard to look away. My only gripe is the flash cut editing of the episodes that gives the impression of a recap of previous episode is a little jarring but it also allows us to see more of the bizarre antics that make up the average week of each homeowner. There's some truly hilarious and embarrassing things that, somehow, these people don't see. Your "mileage may vary" depending on how comfortable you are laughing at people acting like this and having absolutely zero qualms sharing. As far as I'm concerned if they're ok with it, so am I. Maybe seeing themselves this way will persuade them to lay down their arms and get of with their lives.

I have watched several episodes of this series. At first I found it mildly amusing, but now I am sickened by the creatures on which it focuses, and how they treat each other and their neighbours, and civilisation in general. It also has been helpful in clarifying for me a question which has been on my mind for some time, as well as on the minds of millions of others who, like me, do not live anywhere near America: so these are the people who in 2024 gave America the government it deserves. I now have a clearer understanding. See more Rob O @RT16770173 Mar 12 I find the bizarre behavior displayed by these people to be endlessly entertaining! See more Read all reviews
