B-
The best love stories are ugly and uncomfortable and, yes, messy and complicated, too. But they’re the best because they’re true, and Alice’s truth is on fire, even if her love is nothing but smoldering ash. Go to Full Review Lucy Mangan Guardian 6h
2/5
The ending is ridiculous but all of a piece with a main story in which nothing is convincing or authentic and nothing is earned or resolved. The ick is the least of Alice and Steve’s problems. Go to Full Review Alison Herman Variety 6h
Like an old friend who’s made a major faux pas, there’s enough tangible history for the audience to look past the flaws. Go to Full Review Joel Keller Decider 6h
Alice And Steve gets funnier the more the tension between Nicola Walker and Jemaine Clement’s characters ramps up. But the effective way their friendship is established is what makes the tension work. Go to Full Review Greer Riddell Collider 7h
4/10
Yet while Alice and Steve is marketed as a revenge comedy, the series awkwardly asks the audience to accept it as a sentimental love story. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Christine J @ChristineJ 45m I've only watched two episodes of the show, so perhaps I shouldn't review, but as the mom of a 26-year-old woman myself, I just cannot get past the "ick" factor of this premise. While the thought of a best friend/former boyfriend sleeping with my daughter is gross enough, the fact that this man likely knew Izzy as a baby, and watched her grow up, seals its fate for me. I wonder if creator Sophie Goodhart really thought about this when penning their "romance." I love Jemaine Clement and Nicola Walker is excellent in the role as Alice, and the end of the second episode (where the viewer thinks Alice, after being chastised by her entire family, may rethink her behavior...but she doubles down instead) ALMOST makes me want to watch episode three. But I just don't think I can get past it. Gross, Steve, gross...go find a woman who likely didn't call you "Uncle Steve" when she was growing up. See more prawnda S @RT72497680 9h it has it's moments, but it kinda just ends randomly with a narrative contrivance and a cliffhanger on episode 6. yet another project with 1 season or 1 film's worth of content that desperately wants to be 2 or more seasons.

See more razvan P @n1mr0d 1d witty slice of life.. as ususal from Jemaine. weird how much hate it takes although it clicks the performative woke buttons to some extent, it did not fool the ghouls See more Read all reviews
