Community reviews for Queen Mantis, shown here with its season details.
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.
