Hunting Alice Bell review – this conspiracy theory thriller starring Simon Pegg is a hot mess

According to The Guardian, the six-part drama 'Hunting Alice Bell', created by David Baddiel and Peter Bradshaw, follows a group of women wrongly accused of aiding a killer, played by Simon Pegg. Inspired by the real-life story of Maxine Carr, the series explores the consequences of online rage and 'lynch mob' culture. Guardian critic Phil Harrison notes that while the show is punchy and compelling, it struggles with tonal consistency, attempting to be a social satire, a whodunnit, and a modern thriller simultaneously. Ultimately, the review suggests the show succeeds by cleverly using the viewer's own confirmation bias to highlight how easily society can descend into collective judgment.
