Another added, “#dareme beth really had a full-blown panic attack, SHAKING and she still pulled off her cheer routine."

'Parallel Trenches' seems to have gotten imprinted strongly on the minds of the viewers, who took to social media to heap it with praise.  "When I started working on #DareMe, everyone was talking about this episode from my first day there. It's a great one."

Only five episodes in and fans are seen calling the latest episode the best so far, thanks to its compelling plotline. Not only are the viewers surprised to see the vulnerable side to Beth, but are also seen sympathizing with her to a large extent.

"So did nobody notice Beth during this performance? Cause girl was absolutely OFF and clearly needs helps. #DareMe," said one fan. Meanwhile, some of the viewers are developing interest in the series with each episode.
