Joanna moves with her young son, Alfie, to the quiet town of Flinstead, seeking a fresh start. However, she quickly becomes entangled in the lives of local mothers and the unsettling dynamics of the community. When Joanna stumbles upon an online rumour about a child killer living in the town, she uses it to win over the mums at the school gate. As gossip spreads, suspicions build, and Joanna finds herself drawn into a web of secrets and paranoia. Balancing her efforts to protect her son with the growing unease in town, Joanna struggles to distinguish between truth and hearsay. With relationships strained and emotions running high, the boundaries between trust and fear blur. The Rumour explores how quickly small-town gossip can spiral out of control, forcing Joanna to confront the unforeseen consequences of curiosity and mistrust in her search for answers. The story is based on the Sunday Times bestselling book by Lesley Kara.
剧情落入套路，但演技在线，至少高矮胖瘦各有样貌。看故事想有乐子，最怕一众医美主配人为脸盲。
全剧女主Joanna最讨人厌，她到底凭啥一遍遍去挖开别人的旧伤！！！就凭她的主角光环吗“干啥啥不行，惹事第一名”称号毋庸置疑惹出事情再装无辜好人样，要是说sorry有用，还要干嘛！没有任何确凿证据，仅出于自己的利益和私心，就义正严辞地指控一个又一个无辜人员。为了不将自己暴露，还利用新闻记者来转移视线早就预感到“查到最后小丑竟是我自己”的结果（毕竟套路桥段一贯如此），但是编剧还真是思维异于常人啊！原本的受害者家破人亡，加害者方面：母亲一次又一次重获新生惹事精女儿害死无辜路人、还美美达成“与自我和解、家庭幸福美满”的逆天操作这剧拍出来是为了气死我们这些具有正常是非观的观众的吗
其实很容易就猜到了……
一直在说I don't know，一直对自己各种怀疑非常确定
起手真漂亮，然后就拉了
