    Amazing performance by Billie Piper showing great range of honest raw emotion. The show is intelligent and relatable, especially in how it portrays female experiences. I binge-watched the entire series and plan to re-watch soon.

    Billie Piper deserves all the awards! One of the performances of the year by far.

    Self indulged and narcissistic - at least it lived up to the title. I Hate I Hate Suzie

    Ugly people being ugly to one another. I never understood this kind of English humour - these unpleasant, uncomfortable, cringy situations that ... i just don't know who finds this funny. Or even any good. After the first episode, other than having to watch people fight, cheat, get embarrassed, get humiliated, nothing happens. You are supposed to connect to these characters? How?

They are miserable people, treating what little grace they have like it's a joke. Well, it's not a funny joke. Sorry, but what I consider British wit and humour is the opposite of this hangover throw-up.… Expand

    “I Hate Suzie” has a strange, strong flavor, a briny funk with a surprising undercurrent of sweetness, like Scandinavian licorice. At first, I was repulsed. Then dislike turned to craving. ... But it is Piper’s raw, comical performance as a not so smart woman on the verge that stands out.

    At each point in the season when Suzie is faced with a pivotal decision, part of what makes “I Hate Suzie” fascinating is that both paths forward for her seem plausible. For every self-destructive leaning, there’s an equally viable route that won’t erase her past mistakes altogether, but at least will be a step towards alleviating the damage they’ve caused. That this show can present both options and still generate understanding for Suzie — regardless of where she goes next — is an effective trick to pull off.

    The first episode of I Hate Suzie was an effective exercise in seeing a person’s life fall apart around them in short order. But we’re really intrigued with seeing Piper’s interpretation of how Suzie tries to put the pieces back together.
