Overview
- The six-episode British dark comedy is now available to stream in full on major platforms and was promoted through festival play that included a Tribeca premiere and CANNESERIES recognition.
- Critics are sharply split: many praise Nicola Walker’s fierce performance as the emotional center while several reviews call the show’s deliberate ‘icky’ tone and plotting uneven.
- Reviewers and critics commonly note that Izzy, the 26-year-old at the story’s center, is underwritten and that the series prioritizes revenge and humiliation over clear moral judgments.
- Creator Sophie Goodhart and cast members have framed the central age-gap relationship as morally ambiguous rather than outright grooming, and they defend the show’s focus on selfishness.
- Audiences have been binge-watching and asking for a second season, and any renewal decision will hinge on viewership numbers and the commissioning choices of streaming platforms.
