In the end, the very droll and compelling Billy & Billie is much more than just a case of sibling revelry. Read full review

Nothing much happens in any given episode of Billy & Billie. Mr. LaBute is in no hurry. That’s sometimes frustrating; you’re left wanting a bit more pith, as well as more back story. But there are wry rewards in the exchanges between Billy and Billie. Read full review

Though the laughs may come through gritted teeth and a pained wince, they are there. It's an enjoyable series, at least for the three episodes available for review. Read full review

But long-term? Seems like fans might grow frustrated if that’s the central theme. If Billy and Billie become "regular" relationship partners, the premise will need to expand. In the meantime, LaBute, Brody and Joyce have given us enough reason to keep watching. Read full review

There’s also such a chilliness to the interactions that while there’s some debate and uncertainty over whether the protagonists will wind up together, there’s less reason to care. That said, the show represents a credible twist on the familiar romantic-comedy notion of characters being drawn to each even when they shouldn’t be. Read full review

Creator/writer/director Neil LaBute uses a theatrical style, heavy on dialogue. That works out well both for developing the characters and putting comedy into the situation. Read full review

This is an unconventional comedy, to be sure. It's a love story about a pair of step siblings, and the obstacles they have to navigate to be together. What makes it work is the performances of Adam Brody and Lisa Joyce. It's a show that seems to get better as it goes along.

Refreshingly real. In fact, so much so, that initially the steady, fairly downbeat vibe feels almost slightly unbearable. But it becomes apparent that this is what director, Labute, wants us to feel like, after all we are watching the blossoming evolution of a romantic relationship betweenRefreshingly real. In fact, so much so, that initially the steady, fairly downbeat vibe feels almost slightly unbearable. But it becomes apparent that this is what director, Labute, wants us to feel like, after all we are watching the blossoming evolution of a romantic relationship between step-siblings.And we are drawn in to such an extent with the characters played by Brody & Joyce that it is we,who may very well end up feeling we are being incestuous. Witty, funny, intricate & even a little tender.… Expand
