Another week andyet anothernewNetflix number onehas risen to the top of the charts (in the UK anyway,pushing the anime-adaptionOne Pieceoff the top spot). It’s anotherNetflixOriginal series that isoh-so-Britishand, er,oh-so-underappreciated– landingjust a 55% Rotten Tomatoes audience scoreat the time of writing. Ouch.
But it’s really not connecting with initial audiences since its 24 August 2023 launch date on the streaming service. The seven episodes in the Netflix ‘Limited Series’ are obviously being watched a lot, hence the no.1 spot in the UK chart, but responses aren’t exactly shining. It’s the same with critics' reactions, withThe Guardian doling out a 1-star review. Double ouch.
Okay, I know, the show’s premise is hardly original, we’ve been here a million times before. But with a strong female lead (Evin Ahmad is a Swede of Kurdish origin, IMDB tells me) in charge? That’s refreshing! The cinematography is impressive, too, as there’s no British soap opera look and feel about this show. It’s something a bit different, yet another show to explain why Netflix is amongthe best streaming services.

If it does turn out to be that bad then, hey, now that Netflix iscracking down on password sharingand has now justscrapped its basic plan, I could alwaysunsubscribefor the summer period – especially now, miraculously, as the sun is shining in the UK after the rainiest summertime I can ever recall and thatDisney+ has a limited £1.99-per-month sign-up plan. Although, given the critical response, I suspect thisWho Is Erin Carter?will quickly be up for the chop underNetflix’s ongoing cancellations…
