Starstruck (2021–2023)
9/10
Binge-watched in one sitting
2 June 2021
Warning: Spoilers
I was hooked 5 minutes in, and binge-watched the whole series.

The humour is so finely balanced, and this series showcases some fantastically talented comedians/actors I hadn't seen on screen before.

Rose Matafeo and Alice Snedden are to be commended on writing such a funny, relatable script, and I loved Emma Sidi's over the top housemate. There are so many fantastic lines!

My only criticisms - it felt like Tom was the only one pursuing a relationship, putting himself out there and being vulnerable, as Jessie didn't seem to be that interested in him at times, and the misunderstandings/barriers that came between them got to be frustrating and a bit annoying over the series.

However, I've rewatched all episodes more than once, and quite often treat myself to a 'speed rewatch' where I just skip through each episode to watch my favourite bits!

Very excited for the second series, and hope we see Jessie and Tom dating and the reality of what that's like for a 'civilian'.

Oh, and Nikesh Patel is sooooo hot! That chest hair... yum.
