What to Know

Critics Consensus

Ella Purnell is a diabolical delight in Sweetpea, a revenge fantasy that holds a lot of darkness beneath its playful exterior.

Judy Berman TIME Magazine Sweetpea finds a bountiful source of suspense in the question of whether we’re watching the blossoming of a wallflower or the making of a monster. Oct 21, 2024 Full Review Ben Travers indieWire Here we are, once again, with a new series trying to bridge the gap between identifiable frustrations and sociopathic actions, this time using misplaced tension, so-so humor, and unconvincing empowerment narratives to liven up its rote story. Rated: C- Oct 14, 2024 Full Review Carol Midgley Times (UK) Ella Purnell puts in a standout performance as the ill-treated, put-upon mouse that roared. And stabbed. And slashed. Rated: 4/5 Oct 14, 2024 Full Review Andrew Murray The Upcoming Sweetpea’s vicious spin on the coming-of-age formula makes for very enjoyable television. Rated: 4/5 Nov 4, 2024 Full Review Joly Herman Common Sense Media Decent actors don't have much to work with in brutal, disturbing horror-comedy. Oct 16, 2024 Full Review Lauren Coates Next Best Picture “Sweetpea’s” slick cinematography, simple yet effective set dressing, and pop-punk-inspired soundtrack all work in tandem to create an offbeat, decidedly female-driven addition to the serial killer canon. Rated: 7/10 Oct 16, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Waniya S I thought this was a show where the woman gets her revenge but this was everything but that! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/29/24 Full Review Audience Member This show personally gives me from the beginning vibes of ”Insatiable” Netflix show but 5x cooler and better story-wise. I loved how this show progressively got more and more interesting and i think the Rhiannon is such a relatable character who ends up going on the revenge path. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/28/24 Full Review E R This show was so hard to put down! You just keep on wanting to know what will happen next. And it does not disappoint. Suspenseful and emotional, cant wait to see more!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/23/24 Full Review Tony B Great acting and storytelling here. The series doesn't go where you think it's going to either, which keeps you gripped throughout. Gets even better as it goes along too. Purnell is destined for greatness - a fantastic young actor. Rhiannon is relatable and you end up rooting for her, despite her being a murderer. Hoping for a season 2! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/19/24 Full Review Scott F Started off ok but they just couldn't help themselves and had to go down the climate change, Russia,Putin bad man path during a scene that didn't even call for it, gotta squeeze in the narrative any way possible Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/17/24 Full Review John C Absolutely brilliant! What a great idea. The twists and turns of a vigilante type in the making. In turn making herself more of a confident, outspoken, powerful women.. or the making of a mastermind monster. Either way. I'm having an absolute blast watching. Already hoping for a season 2 !!!! Please Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/15/24 Full Review Read all reviews
