One user hailed: "One episode left of #TheCoupleNextDoor It’s phenomenal, Sam is brilliant, the whole cast is amazing, and the story! As it unfolds, everything turns upside down and every character surprises you. Looks like my first impression of Danny was right. I’m a bit scared of the ending."
Another person revealed that they are rewatching the show: "Aye. I may have binged #TheCoupleNextDoor, and will be rewatching tonight with friends."
A third commented: "Episode 1 of #TheCoupleNextDoor was REALLY GOOD! The casting is great. The story is phenomenal. It’s EVERYTHING I love in a show!! @SamHeughan is definitely showing his range in a fantastic way!"
A fourth reacted: "Finished watching #TheCoupleNextDoor. I really really liked it. I really liked the last three episodes in particular. I thought Sam was incredible. I loved Jessica’s character Becka, she was my fav honestly. Their scene where they finally talk was so good!"
Someone else added: "Watched all 6 eps tonight! Congrats to Sam and the cast and crew on this suspenseful & steamy series."
Tomlinson - who starred in Poldark and Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging - spoke to Stylist magazine about the new steamy drama, and described it as "addictive".
"The main theme of this show is the exploration of relationships and how claustrophobia can quickly set in," the 31-year-old actress shared. "The neighborhood is the perfect metaphor for that. Once you decide to break free from that, how quickly can you spiral? How far do you go?
"It’s certainly an enticing watch, I would say. I think it leaves you wanting more and there’s an addictive energy to the series. It’s very sexy. It draws people in because it dares to address the unknown and, for some, the taboo," she added.
The series is available to watch in the UK on Channel 4's streaming site.
