The key words to remember when watching the show that has just hit the top of theNetflixcharts in the UK are “based on a true story”. I can watch all kinds of nastiness in a drama with the comfort blanket that none of it’s real, but that isn’t the case here.

I’ve never seen a show like this before. It’s funny in places, yes, but the overall impact is definitely more psychological horror in my opinion. Martha is dangerous and predatory, which doesn’t exactly make for easy watching.

Just because it’s not a comfortable watch, doesn’t mean it’s not well worth your time, however. The series currently sits on a perfect 100% Rotten Tomatoes score with critics, no mean feat, and deservedly so.

If you too have also binged all ofFallout,here’s your next watch.
