Sweetpea episode 4 is not bad, but it’s also not great (Review)

BBG News

As a seasoned gamer of both virtual and real-life thrillers, let me tell you, Sweetpea episode 4, “Everybody Loves Julia,” was a rollercoaster ride I didn’t see coming. It’s been a while since a series has managed to keep me on the edge of my seat like this one.

Following the suspenseful finale from episode 3 a week ago, where Rhiannon seized Julia, we delve into the aftermath of this encounter and explore what transpires next. Here’s our critique of Sweetpea’s fourth installment, titled “Everybody Loves Julia,” airing on Starz. SPOILER ALERT.

Initially, I found it intriguing that Detective Marina was given focus, revealing her inner monologues and thoughts. Remarkably, she echoed Rhiannon’s words in the episode’s opening, saying “people I’d love to kill.” Her progress in the case was significantly aided by the club’s video footage. Moreover, towards the end of the episode, it appears that Marina is beginning to see connections between Julia’s disappearance and Rhiannon’s role in the storyline.

The reason for all this is due to Rhiannon’s recent promotion to junior reporter, which has been her long-held dream. She’s now an authentic journalist! However, my happiness for her is tainted because she’s not exactly an innocent character. In the past, she’s taken lives of two individuals and also abducted Julia. Yet again, Rhiannon’s actions are glaringly suspicious. It’s somewhat realistic, given how real-life murderers often make mistakes.

Rhiannon interviews not only Julia’s friends but also her fiancé, Marcus, for a story she’s writing, although her primary goal is to uncover dirt on the bully who torments Julia. The facade of perfection in Julia Blenkingsopp’s life crumbles as it’s revealed that Marcus is abusive and Julia finds herself trapped in this harmful relationship. This shocking revelation causes Rhiannon to hesitate before taking any action against Julia, such as killing her. Hmm, hmm, hmm. (Paraphrased from the original text)

It seems clear that Julia isn’t taking steps to improve her relationship with Rhiannon, as she continues to provoke and belittle her. To put it mildly, if I were entangled with someone who openly confessed to having killed two individuals, I would probably be more cautious about my words. Honestly speaking, Craig needs to leave the scene. He’s become quite irritating at this point. Lastly, my sympathy goes out to AJ, such a lovely soul. Rhiannon, it’s crucial for you to focus on what truly matters!

In summary, Sweetpea episode 4 was satisfactory but not exceptional. It wasn’t terrible, yet it didn’t exceed expectations. I anticipated that Rhiannon wouldn’t instantly kill Julia like her previous victims, but the storyline just seems prolonged after two episodes. However, I suspect that the upcoming episodes will continue this back-and-forth between Rhiannon and Julia, especially considering Julia’s recent disclosure which might momentarily halt Rhiannon’s actions.
