Sweetpea tells the story of Rhiannon, your average girl next door, who is living quietly with her boyfriend and little dog. By day her job as an office manager is demeaning and unsatisfying. By evening she dutifully listens to her friends' plans for marriage and babies. Rhiannon never complains, smiling through it all with reserves of serenity and a sparkling wit. She has become skilled at keeping it together.

Being normal. But behind this mask is a ferocious power lying dormant, and a long-buried secret that Rhiannon wishes she could forget. When a chance encounter with a stranger leads to a shocking act of violence, Rhiannon's mask slips completely and she is forced to confront the darker side she has long kept hidden. The girl everyone overlooks might just be able to get away with murder.

First episode looks very promising.

Ella Purnell once again delivers a great performance. Already with Arcane and Fallout, she is one of my favorite actresses to look for nowadays.

It reminds me a little bit of Obituary - https://next-episode.net/obituary

Spoiler

You pretty much knew she had to crack in the first episode, but you didn't know when it will happen. Great timing, great delivery.

I just hope they don't gonna make her do the 90s beauty-transformation we saw in all those romcoms.

In the last frame it almost looked like she still had blood on her lips - terrifying smile

Re: Sweetpea

I enjoyed it, but more at the start than the end.  It got dark pretty quickly.

2020.  Meh.

Re: Sweetpea

Liked 1st ep but oddly enough gave up during 2nd ep, really not sure why.

Just didnt seem like it had the potential to actually entertain

I'd maybe stick with it for another 2 episodes if you can.  It wasn't the best thing I've ever seen, but it's not even close to as poor as some of the things I still watch (for some reason).

2020.  Meh.

Re: Sweetpea

I too gave up after the 2nd episode. Seemed to have way too much needless filler and take forever to develop the plot or characters

Re: Sweetpea

Absolutely love it! And 99% attribute to Ella Purnell . Those eyes… just unreal. But like with Fallout, she carries it.

Re: Sweetpea

I also love it. Especially the character development of MC and the pace it is happening by, very well done.
