Written on September 21, 2025

Whilst starting off well enough, "Queen Mantis" sabotages its own success.

Based on a French Netflix series of the same name, the tale of a female serial killer, whose crimes are the subject of a copycat, works well enough.

What doesn't work is the slow creep misandry, that comes to toxic fruition, by episode six.

In summary, a promising series ruined by yet more divisive, woke politics. Not recommended.
