Peacock’s Horror Series ‘Teacup’ Begins With a Thrilling Mystery but Descends Into Sci-Fi Madness: TV Review


Scott Speedman and Yvonne Strahovski are a couple of the verge in the horror sci-fi Peacock thriller, "Teacup."

Based on the novel “Stinger” by Robert R. McCammon and adapted for television by Ian McCulloch, Peacock ‘s new horror series, “ Teacup ” begins as a fascinating and frightful narrative before descending into science-fiction madness that fails to stick to the landing. While the show, executive produced by “Saw” and “The Conjuring” filmmaker James Wan, has a haunting element of terror running through its first half, it becomes muddled by the final episodes as the mystery at the center of the series is revealed. Maggie ( Yvonne Strahovski), the town’s veterinarian, is seen chatting with her children, teenage Meryl (Émilie Bierre), who takes a great interest in her mother’s work and the much younger Arlo (Caleb Dolden), who seems content with his marbles, dictionary and drawings.
