This tragicomedy on ShowmaxOnline is a must-watch
Suzie Pickles has her life upended when she is hacked and pictures of her emerge online in an extremely compromising position. Aided by her best friend and manager, Naomi, Suzie tries to hold her life together.After making successful debuts in the UK and the US in August and November 2020, respectively, it's only been a matter of time thatwould hit the South African streaming circuit.
Suzie Pickles, played by co-creator Billie Piper, is a fictional British celebrity whose whole life is turned upside down when photos of her in a highly compromising position are leaked online. Suzie's unravelling is told in eight parts, each named after a stage of grief/trauma: Shock, Denial, Fear, Shame, Bargaining, Guilt, Anger, and Acceptance. Created and written by real-life friends Piper and Lucy Prebble ,is not entirely made up.
The first half-hour episode brilliantly sets the tone for the daringly intimate episodes to come. Suzie has just found out about the photos and has to grapple with the world seeing her have sex with an unnamed man who is clearly not her husband. At the same time, a camera crew takes over her home for an elaborate photo shoot.
With each stage of Suzie's grief comes new revelations about herself and immense character growth, albeit destructive and consequential at times. I find this is something every person could relate to at some point in their lives.
