**New York, NY** – Ella Purnell, known for her captivating performances, takes center stage in the darkly comedic thriller “Sweetpea,” now available on Starz.

“Sweetpea” has garnered rave reviews, with critics praising the show’s captivating premise and Purnell’s captivating performance. Early reviews on Rotten Tomatoes have awarded the show a perfect 100% score, although this is likely to change as more reviews are published.

The show explores the thin line between rage and revenge as Rhiannon targets those who have wronged her, including her former bully. With each act of violence, she gains a sense of control over her life, but keeping her deadly secret becomes increasingly difficult.

Reviewers have praised Purnell’s ability to make Rhiannon both sympathetic and terrifying. Kaiya Shunyata from Roger Ebert described the show as “gripping” and “fresh from beginning to end,” while Sydney Morning Herald’s Kylie Northover noted the surprising empathy viewers feel for the anti-hero.
