What kind of watch this is
Sweetpea is a 2024 comedy drama about a quiet woman whose life spirals after her father dies and her old bully returns. Created by Kirstie Swain, the series stars Ella Purnell as Rhiannon Lewis, a newspaper admin assistant in the fictional town of Carnsham. The show runs 9 hours across 2 seasons, with 12 episodes of 44 minutes each. It leans into the "quiet ones" tagline, blending mundane British life with escalating violence. The hook is not the murders themselves, but the administrative chaos of keeping a killer secret while navigating a promotion and a rebound. It is a tight, cynical look at how normalcy fractures.
What the critics said
Critics leaned toward approval, though the numbers suggest a comfortable middle. Rotten Tomatoes reports an 88% approval rating across 25 reviews, with an average score of 7/10. Metacritic lands on 69 out of 100 from 12 critics, a tier it defines as generally favorable. The consensus highlights Ella Purnell, calling her a "diabolical delight" in a revenge fantasy that holds a lot of darkness beneath its playful exterior. Not every reviewer bought the charm. Lucy Mangan of The Guardian was less impressed, comparing the series unfavorably to the original book.
How it did with audiences
No box office data exists to prove the world waited for this. The only hard number is a 7.4 TMDB user score. That is a solid, unglamorous approval rating. Viewers liked it enough to rate it, but not enough to generate a fiscal event. It is the kind of show that lives in the background of a streaming library, waiting for someone to finally click play.
