Critics Consensus

Sweetpea: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (1) 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 Sweetpea: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (2) 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 Sweetpea: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (3) 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 Sweetpea: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Joly Herman Common Sense Media Decent actors don't have much to work with in brutal, disturbing horror-comedy. Oct 16, 2024 Full Review Sweetpea: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (5) 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 Sweetpea: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Erik Kain Forbes Purnell plays the lonely outcast so well, enchanting us with her big sad eyes as we watch the indignities of life beat her to the dirt—until they mount too suffocatingly high. When she snaps, can we really blame her? Oct 15, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Hope J I loved watching her mind contort, an excellent performance. Wished it was 8 episodes. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/26/24 Full Review LL S Very bingeable; the television equivalent of a pageturner. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/25/24 Full Review Diane G Absolute drivel. The main character is drippy and boring and feels jealous of everyone around her. This apparently justifies her going on a rampage of murder. The worst TV I've watched in a long time. Slow and just not funny at all. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/24/24 Full Review K W Sweetpea will leave you on edge for the entirety of its six episode duration. With Ella Purnell leading the way, the world of Rhiannon Lewis is entirely multidimensional and ready to inflict some damage - but only for the right reasons of course. Even though this show has you looking over the killer’s shoulder at every moment - through every sinister idea - you can’t help but realize that Rhiannon’s heart might be just as big as it is cold. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/24/24 Full Review Stephen S Thoroughly entertaining from start to finish. Purnell is a star. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/24/24 Full Review Jessica H Starts a tad slow but stick with it! It’s mind blowing by the end! Binged the whole thing in one sitting & busting for season 2! Love the female led plot! Loved the very relatable storyline of females not feeling seen! Loved the acting! AJ & Sweatpea herself are outstanding!! As is the junior cop! But most of all loved that i honestly didn’t know what was going to happen!!! That is rare and brilliantly written Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/22/24 Full Review Read all reviews
