New thriller Who is Erin Carter? tops Netflix charts – but fans have A LOT of complaints about 'worst show in history' | The Sun

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.

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."

"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.
