About
"A quiet woman's rage curdles into something monstrous"
Sweetpea follows Rhiannon, an overlooked local newspaper worker who's spent her life being mocked, ignored, and pushed aside by everyone around her, until something inside her breaks and she starts fighting back in increasingly violent ways. The show mixes deadpan British comedy with genuine menace, narrated through her seething internal voice-over. It's darkly funny and uncomfortable in equal measure, carried almost entirely by Ella Purnell's performance, which shifts from sympathetic to unsettling within single scenes. Pace is brisk and episodes are short, making it an easy, bingeable watch despite the grim subject matter.
Ella Purnell's performance, which turns barbed inner monologue into pitch-black comedy.
you need your protagonists likable or you're squeamish about casual, escalating violence.
