What is Sweetpea about?

youtube-cover

At the center of Sweetpea is Rhiannon Lewis, played by Fallout star Ella Purnell. Rhiannon is a quiet, unassuming woman who has spent most of her life feeling invisible to the people around her.

She's ignored at work, overlooked by her family, and even the man she likes won’t commit to her. But beneath her shy exterior, Rhiannon harbors a long-standing kill list, a mental inventory of all those who have wronged or hurt her.

When personal tragedies strike, something in Rhiannon snaps, leading to an explosive chain of events. She goes from being the wallflower nobody notices to a young woman capable of terrifying actions.

If you love dark comedies or psychological thrillers, Sweetpea will be right up your alley. It’s not just about the murders but also about what drives a person to snap and how they change once they do. The combination of sharp humor and intense drama makes this series a must-watch this fall.
