Nicola Walker and Jemaine Clement shine as best friends until he starts dating her daughter. Then the gloves come off, the guns come out, and the great Nicola shows what a real actress can do when a sitcom begins to develop the contours of a slapstick tragedy.
-
If you’re able to tune in for this series in the same way you might with Georgie and Mandy’s First Marriage — which arguably offers more jokes and a more conventional sitcom structure — you may get something out of Alice and Steve, but it still means sitting in an uncomfortable stew for the duration.
-
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.
-
There is zero chemistry between the two actors, which makes Izzy nothing more than a plot device. The relationship makes no sense.
