Freya C @RT06161644 Mar 25, 2026 Brilliant crime drama with great acting by all. Smurf the vicious and manipulative matriarch played by 2 actresses is compelling to watch whilst her children are all broken characters which in some episodes is quite sad. This is an action packed series well worth watching. See more Nelly B @NellyB Feb 27, 2026 I'm late to the party and just finished the last season. I loved it! I'm normally a gritty thriller/true crime fanatic, however I fancied something different this time. I had never heard of this but I figured if Ellen Barkin is in it, it must be good. I wasn't wrong! The best way I can describe this is, it's like 6 seasons of Point Break, that early 90's cult classic. An emotionally dysfunctional yet criminally functioning family ruled by their psychopathic mother, this is a rollercoaster ride from start to finish. Yes, some of it is unrealistic but this is meant to be adrenaline packed entertainment. It's clever with its twists and turns and you find yourself feeling empathy for the characters raised by a matriarch of steel who ruled with a rod of iron. My only gripe is the casting of young Smurf. I could never buy it that that was her, despite an excellent performance from Leila George. I think they needed a Julia Garner for this role. A great series with a heart-wrenching finale. See more Frank E. @Franksmovies Feb 12, 2026 Fantastic. It'll be in your top 10, too. See more Daniel L @Hotchopeppa Dec 16, 2025 Amazing show. Great writing, great characters, great cast, tragic ending. See more Matt S. @monyzworth Dec 9, 2025 Took a chance on this because diet the title made me think this was a nature show. And then after watching the little automated clip Netflix shows you when you click on the icon I still wasn’t sure but I went for it. And I am SO glad I did! I asked my finance to give it a chance and even though she was hesitant she did. With low expectations. After about the first 15 minutes I’m not sure if I saw her blink! Next thing I know we are 5 episodes in that very night. We are now in the middle of season 5 and neither of us want to watch anything else. The twists and turns and misleading characters and events are phenomenal. It’s next to impossible to predict what is going to happen. A MUST WATCH!!!
