9/10
It's shocking and sad and amazing.

When The Streelights Go On is brilliant. It hooks you from the start. It's tense, raw and sad. And having each episode under 10 minutes works surprisingly well.

Sophie Thatcher was absolutely brilliant and she completely steals the show. I can't wait to see more of her in the future. By the time the ending comes around it's emotional and shocking and it all works incredibly well. That's mainly thanks to her.

Everyone is terrific here though, they all give great performances. The characters are all fantastic even the minor ones. That's really rare to say.

As far as flaws go, I genuinely don't have anything although it wrapped a quicker than I thought I would. It still worked insanely well though. It's a show which actually felt shocking and sad. It didn't feel hollywood and I really loved it when shows aren't like that.

It doesn't really go the way you think. There are constant surprises but those last 3 episodes are seriously terrific.

Overall it's downright brilliant. It's around 90 minutes and it's just a ride to watch. Highly recommend checking it out
