The Gathering, a six-part whodunit<\/a> set in Liverpool, is trending on Netflix<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The series, which first premiered on Channel 4, is currently one of the most-watched TV shows in the UK following its debut on the streamer<\/a> on 25 August. <\/p>\n

According to an official synopsis: “The Gathering centres around a violent attack on a teenage girl during a rave on a tidal islet. Set on Merseyside, the drama focuses on a group of teens from disparate backgrounds, each of whom could have committed the crime, along with their parents, who give equal cause for suspicion.”<\/p>\n

Among the line-up, Sadie Soverall and Eva Morgan appear as gymnastics rivals, Jessica and Kelly, the latter of whom is mysteriously attacked<\/a>. Meanwhile, Vinette Robinson appears as Jessica’s mum, Natalie, and Warren Brown<\/a> portrays Kelly’s father, Paul. Richard Coyle, Sonny Walker, Dylan Thomas-Smith, Christine Tremarco and Mia Carragher round out the cast. <\/p>\n

While The Gathering was cancelled<\/a> after just one season following low live viewership numbers, the thriller received rave reviews from critics. <\/p>\n

“The mostly local cast give naturalistic performances in authentic Scouse accents, led by Morgan, who graduated from drama school only a year ago but is a real find,” wrote The Telegraph<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, The i Paper<\/a> called the show a “gripping condemnation of toxic parenting”, adding: “The Gathering could have easily ended up over-stuffed and confusing. But writer Helen Walsh … kept the narrative plates spinning with ease and pulled off the difficult task of making us care about the characters as much as we did about the central crime.”<\/p>\n

However, penning a mixed response to the show, The Observer<\/a> declared: “The plotting is wayward, and the denouement feels forced. What’s impressive is the socio-emotional interplay between the young cast, the sense of real, raw lives being lived.”<\/p>\n

All episodes of The Gathering are now available to stream on Netflix. <\/p>\n
