“People I’d love to kill…”

Sweetpea released on Starz on October 10th 2024 with its first episode. The dark comedy drama series stars Ella Purnell, Calam Lynch, Leah Harvey, and Nicôle Lecky. There will be six episodes in total that will air weekly. Each episode is approximately 42-45 minutes.

Rhiannon is tired of people constantly dismissing her and acting like she doesn’t exist, but after going through a family trauma, she decides that she’s done being pushed around, leading her down a path of revenge and murder.

Here is the trailer:

Sweetpea starts off with killer potential, bringing us some dark humor that actually lands and an electric lead to root for. Is it worthy of YOUR next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Ella Purnell shines!

I’m already a fan of hers and she takes things to the next level with this new role. In a lot of ways, this series sort of reminds me of a female spin on Dexter or You. Her character is at a breaking point, but she’s also really relatable. I actually found her voice-over narration funny and fresh, which is not easy to nail so early in a series. I’m looking forward to seeing her spiral down a darker path in the next episodes, but so far I am already adoring her character!

Easy to watch.

Lately, it seems like I have to put a lot of effort into new shows. This isn’t always the case, but I love it when a series starts out with effortless fun. I’m hooked already and I can’t wait to tune in to the next episodes. There is a nice balance here of dark humor, drama, and some bloody violence for good measure. This series is checking off everything I look for in a series nicely, which is fantastic to see!

The Cons:

One scene I could do without…

There will be no spoilers in this review, but there was one scene that didn’t sit well with me. Other than that, I’m in with no other cons to note.

So am I in or out?

I’m in!!!

Sweetpea has everything I want from a series and more! Ella Purnell is bloody charming and so exciting to watch in this.

I can’t wait to watch the next episodes!
