Netflix has welcomed another drama to its collection, with the series having originally broadcast on Channel 5 back in April 2025.
The six-episode programme boasts major stars including Jill Halfpenny, Larry Lamb and Amy Nuttall.
The programme centres on residents of a picture-perfect suburban road who become embroiled in conflict over one household’s plans to construct an extension to their home.
The series is ascending Netflix’s most-viewed TV programme rankings, currently sitting at number two across the UK.
The Feud is the programme in question and it received mixed reviews from viewers. Numerous supporters branded it as “gripping” and “entertaining”.

One audience member shared on IMDb: “I found it very easy to watch all in one go and would recommend giving it watch.”
Another agreed: “I read a few scathing reviews before I watched this. I’m glad I didn’t go by other people’s opinions. I enjoyed watching this mini series. There were lots of surprises during the six episodes.”
Fans have also been recently voicing their appreciation for the Channel 5 show, with one Netflix viewer commenting: “This cast is absolutely banging, whoever put this together deserves an award. Bravo!”
Carol Midgely from The Times awarded the series three stars and remarked it “is so knowingly naff I am strangely hooked”.

However, writing on Google Reviews, Stephen Clapham noted: “If this is supposed to be a comedy it works as a drama, it’s an absolute joke.”
Lee Barron remarked: “This was so poor we felt compelled to complete it. Only thing more annoying than the poor acting was the intensely irritating music. The pot holes were more like craters.”
Louise Murray observed: “Absolutely brutal. The whole thing consists of continuous knocking on doors and aggro.
“The writers themselves lost interest it would seem as they didn’t even bother seeing the plot through. If there was one. No logic. No sense. No credible timelines for anything that happens.”
