Ladies First has topped the Netflix charts and it unexpectedly features a famou’s actor’s child.
Ladies First has landed on Netflix, starring the child of Doctor Who legend David Tennant.
Despite only just arriving on the streaming platform, Ladies First has already rocketed to the top spot, chronicling the story of arrogant yet charismatic ladies’ man Damien Sachs (portrayed by Sacha Baron Cohen).
While he relishes a life of wealth and influence, his existence is thrown into turmoil when, following a head injury, he awakens in a parallel universe ruled by women.
In this alternative reality, he encounters his business adversary Alex Fox (Rosamund Pike), who’s also mother to Charlie, played by Red Tennant.
What Netflix viewers may have noticed while watching Ladies First is that Red is the non-binary child of Broadchurch actor David Tennant.
Red, who was born Wilfred Tennant, made their acting debut in the 2017 film You, Me and Him, which featured their famous father.
They also appeared in a single episode of Casualty in 2022, portraying a character named Joey Parker.
In Ladies First, Red plays Alex Fox’s child Charlie, who urges their mother to “stand up for herself at work” when she’s questioning her career.
Red is the child of both David Tennant and his wife Georgia Tennant, whom he met in 2008 on the set of Doctor Who.
She guest starred as Jenny, the artificially created daughter of Tennant’s Tenth Doctor.
Georgia is also the real-life daughter of Peter Davidson, who was the fifth Time Lord in the 1980s. Despite topping Netflix’s most-watched list, Ladies First has proved divisive amongst viewers, garnering a mere 19% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
One viewer remarked: “I am truly overwhelmed how this made it to the screen.
“If I said it was utter rubbish, I would be being polite! I have no words how awful it was.”
Conversely, another user described it as an “absolute must-see”, while a fellow viewer declared it one of their “new favourites”.
Ladies First is available to watch on Netflix.
