NEW YORK, Feb. 15 (UPI) -- Palm Royale, Newhart and Designing Women actress Julia Duffy says she loves that her new mystery dramedy, The 'Burbs, keeps viewers guessing until the finale.
"Every episode ends in suspense," Duffy, 74, told UPI in a recent Zoom interview.
"When I watched it with my daughter and her boyfriend -- they had sent us three episodes -- we had to watch them all in a row. I had told them as little as possible and they couldn't stop watching it," she said. "There's so much mystery and you're dying to know what happened and, meanwhile, it's so funny."
Her co-star, Night Court and Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist alum Kapil Talwalkar, 32, added: "You watch the episode. It's like fun, fun, fun, anxiety, over! So, it's a great engine to keep you watching, but there's not a single episode that goes, 'And they lived happily ever after.'"
Loosely inspired by the 1989 Tom Hanks-Carrie Fisher-Bruce Dern movie of the same name, the updated series is now streaming on Peacock. It follows Samira (Keke Palmer) and Rob (Jack Whitehall) -- a happily married couple with a newborn son -- as they move to the suburban neighborhood where Rob grew up.
