#221 – Sweetpea | Created by Kirstie Swain (with Anna)

Tune in as Anna (@banananna024/@formergleek) jumps back onto the podcast for a review and recap of Sweetpea, the 2024 darkly comedic thriller TV show about a newspaper assistant who’s enduring too many trials, including the return of a bully from school, and gets pushed to the point of unleashing those bloodthirsty desires that have been lurking underneath her meek appearance. Anna’s recent MCU watches, comparing Rhiannon Lewis to Joe Goldberg and Dexter Morgan, unreliable narrators like Katniss Everdeen, and the long-lasting and traumatic impact of bullying comprise a few of the talking points for this episode. 

Created by Kirstie Swain, Sweetpea stars Ella Purnell, Nicôle Lecky, Jon Pointing, Calam Lynch, Jeremy Swift, Dustin Demri-Burns, Leah Harvey, Camille Coduri, Dino Kelly, Nitin Ganatra, Ingrid Oliver, Alexandra Dowling, David Bark-Jones, Luke McGibney, and James Craze.

Spoilers start at 24:00
