‘Who Is Erin Carter?’ You’ll have to sit through a lot to find out

Netflix shows, butit has charted consistently in the streamer’s Top 10 since dropping Aug. 24.So what’s all the fuss about? That’s a good question, since the seven-episode British crime drama is a mishmash of cartoonish violence and cardboard-cutout characters and takes forever to get to the point.In-between, though, it’s pretty darn entertaining in that cheesy sort of way.“Who Is Erin Carter?” stars Evin Ahmad as the titular protagonist who, when the series opens, flees England on a boat with her daughter, Harper.

Her destination: Barcelona.Why? You’ll eventually find out but, in the meantime, the action flash-forwards to around five years later.Erin is now settled in Spain and married to Jordi (Sean Teale), a nurse.

Together they’re raising Harper (Indica Watson), a highly intelligent kid who wears glasses (and sunglasses) because of an eye condition that’s never quite fully explained or explored (so why introduce it?).

Erin works as a substitute teacher at Harper’s school and is hoping for a promotion; Harper draws disturbing images of mask-wearing, deer-like creatures in her notebook and also hallucinates about them. #Disturbing.Their lives take a shocking turn when, while in a local supermarket, Erin and Harper stumble upon a robbery in progress.
