April 9: Do You Like Tubi Originals? — I do. You should find one and write about it. Here’s a list to help.

Imani (Chantal Riley) is a pastry chef, and Deon (Kwaku Adu-Poku) is an attorney. They’ve just gotten engaged and are looking for a place to live, which brings them to the Luxe Center Condos. Somehow, despite it being one of the hardest places to get into, they miraculously get a place. It all seems perfect—too perfect—until they learn that Deon’s ex-wife Tamera (Getenesh Berhe) is their next-door neighbor—the ex he never told Imani about.

Somehow, Tamera has the whole building wired Sliver-style, watching everything the couple does. As you can guess, she has plans for our protagonists.

The thing is, this is way better than it has any right to be, with an ending that keeps me watching Tubi Originals. Director Alpha Nicky (Rush for Your Life) and writer Briana Cole (The Marriage Pass, Toxic Harmony, Sugar Mama, Played and Betrayed) know exactly what kind of movie they’re making and subvert the expectations of the form, creating something worth sitting down and watching.

As always, if you move in next to someone who made your life hell, they aren’t going to stop just because you’re with someone new. But what if the someone new was also dangerous to your life, just perhaps? And what if they both are? Man, this has layers, and that’s why I love it, including the ridiculous notion that you should ever allow your ex-wife to be the lawyer in charge of your estate. Why would you even think that this would work out?

Then again, we want Tubi characters to act just like this. We want them to explode over suggested infidelity, get in catfights, and just be dumb. They exceed our expectations again in Ex Door Neighbor.

You can watch this on Tubi.
