Here’s Why Critic Reviews of HBO Max’s ‘The Girl Before’ Are So Mixed

Still, even the positive reviews can’t help but mention the series’ negative aspects, with words like “glacial” and “predictable” appearing between lines of praise.

The critics who just couldn’t bear to give The Girl Before a good review brought up its unfortunate predictability, overabundance of poorly executed “house-based metaphors,” and unsatisfying finale. “It’s repetitive, predictable, and comfortably outlasts my patience with house-based metaphors,” wrote Daniel Fienberg of The Hollywood Reporter. He made it a point to suggest the story would’ve worked better as a film.
