Kaley Cuoco’s new comedic-thriller series takes a deep dive into the world of true crime and toilets.

For anyone who was invested in the absurdity and genre-specific irony of Netflix’s “The Woman in the House Across the Street From the Girl in the Window,” Peacock’s new series is on its way to immerse us in another eccentric mystery. According to the streaming platform, the show is about “a realtor, a plumber and a former tennis star whose lives unexpectedly collide, exposing America’s obsession with true crime, murder, and the slow-close toilet seat.” Not the typical thriller theme, but we’re intrigued.
