New thriller Who is Erin Carter? tops Netflix charts – but fans have A LOT of complaints about ‘worst show in history’
NETFLIX viewers are hooked on the latest thriller Who is Erin Carter 0 but some fans have dubbed it the “worst show in history”.
The eight-part series released last week has been praised for its ‘great plot twist’ but criticised for its clichés.
Who is Erin Carter? was produced by two-time BAFTA nominee Jack Lothian and Strike Back’s executive producer Rob Bullock.
The new thriller follows a British mother and teacher in Spain called Erin Collantes, whose life threatens to be exposed after a robber claims to know her during a supermarket robbery.
The Netflix show stars Berlin International Film Festival award-winner Evin Ahmad as the main character, Erin, Skins star Sean Teale and Shetland’s Douglas Henshall as Daniel.
After all eight episodes aired on Netflix, viewers of the show were quick to take to Twitter to express their views on the show.
Some people became fans of the show, but others not so much as one Twitter user penned: “Has some of the worst acting, clichés and plot turns in history, and yet it was hard to stop watching it.
Another user sarcastically wrote: “I’m watching Who is Erin Carter, and this show is batshit.
“The acting and dialogue are so bad I thought I was watching a dub.
“The plot makes no sense and is absolutely ridiculous. Love it. Obsessed.”
A third person chimed in: “So who is Erin Carter right?! I would rate that movie a 7 out of 10
They were serving till the last fucking episode.
“The storyline wasn’t cliche except for Lena sacrificing herself… Omg so cliche aside that it was a really good watch! What would you rate the movie?”
The Guardian were also unimpressed and firmly criticised the series’ clichés, dialogue and acting in their review.
They wrote: “This mystery drama is deathly dull, packed with clichés and atrocious dialogue.”
Others seemed to love the mystery drama as one user tweeted: “Who is Erin Carter? is like colombiana and the queen of the south had a baby.”
A second wished: “I truly hope ‘Who is Erin Carter’ gets renewed for season 2.”
A third person proclaimed: “Who is Erin Carter?” Was a good series.”
On the Netflix website, the description of the mini-series said: “Sometimes running from your past leads you right back to it.
“That’s how things are shaping up for British expat Erin Carter after relocating to Barcelona.
“Her exit from the UK was a bit rushed, but we don’t quite know why, and when her local grocery store is held up by gunmen.
“Erin, now a substitute teacher, starts kicking a**.
“Like, hard. So much so that the police begin to wonder how she’s managed it.
“She’s a teacher. How does she know all these slick moves? Soon, her tranquil life in Spain spirals out of control, and her mysterious – and violent – past is exposed.”
Who Is Erin Carter? is currently available to stream on Netflix.
