Keke Palmer Is Brilliant in Peacock’s Chaotically Fun Horror Comedy ‘The ‘Burbs’: TV Review

Inspired by the 1989 film of the same name starring Tom Hanks, Peacock’s latest horror comedy, “The ‘Burbs,” created by Celeste Hughey, is a fun and terrifying series highlighting secrets, how little we really know our neighbors and the horrors of suburbia. The show follows married couple Samira (an exceptional Keke Palmer) and Rob (Jack Whitehall), who reluctantly leave the city and move to Hinkley Hills with their newborn son, Miles, to take up residence in Rob’s childhood home. Mostly sequestered in the cul-de-sac during her maternity leave, Samira becomes increasingly curious about the creepy, abandoned old Victorian sitting directly across the street.
