Watch Sweetpea: Synopsis
Rhiannon Lewis is practically invisible. To men, to her boss... even to the girl working the checkout at her local convenience store. It's only a matter of time before she snaps. And boy, does she snap...
Being dubbed a 'coming-of-rage' story and based on C.J. Skuse's popular novels of the same name, Sweetpea sees the brilliant Ella Purnell (Yellowjackets, Fallout) transforming Rhiannon from timid wallflower to knife-wielding avenging angel. Anybody who's ever slighted her – even those who didn't realize she existed – had better watch their back. They might just feature on Rhiannon's fantasy kill list!
"I loved the tone of the books where Rhiannon is funny, she’s rude, she says what she thinks," said Purnell of the six-part series. "She doesn’t seem to care, and she’s already got someone locked in the basement. I was very interested in how she got to that point."
Critics have praised the lead's performance, with The Times (UK) sating it's "a standout" while AV Club call it a "phenomenal performance from an actor who is proving to be one of the more interesting TV presences of her generation." Of Ella's portrayal of Rhiannon, Forbes added: "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?"
Produced by the same people who make the superb Slow Horses, you can expect a riveting combination of grisly action and dark humor from Sweetpea. Plus, a cast that includes an array of familiar faces from UK TV such as Nicole Lecky (Mood), Calam Lynch (Bridgerton), Jon Pointing (Big Boys) and Jeremy Swift (Ted Lasso).

How to watch Sweetpea online from anywhere
If you're on vacation or working overseas, you can still watch Sweetpea just as you would at home.
While the likes of Starz and Sky Go block access from IP addresses outside of their home country, there's a handy piece of software called a VPN which can change your IP address to make it look like you're accessing streaming services from any country in the world.
For example, UK citizens in the US can subscribe to a VPN, join a UK-based server and tune into all the programmes and streams on their Sky subscription from anywhere in the world, just like you would back home.
How To Use A VPN To Unblock Streaming Services:
1. Choose your ideal VPN and install – our go-to recommendation for unblocking is NordVPN, costing from just $3.59 a month with its 2-year plan
2. Connect to a server – for Starz, for example, you'll want to connect to a server located in the US or Canada
3. Stream away! – login to your streaming service and stream like you were in your home country
