Season 2 Review: In only the span of six episodes (12 overall if you count Season 1 too), Starstruck has achieved what it takes other shows countless seasons to nail. Read full review

Season 3 Review: In addition to the sharp wit of the series that leads to many laugh-out-loud moments, “Starstruck” is elevated by its pacing and use of time. .... “Starstruck” gets to the heart of what makes life such a mindfuck. Read full review

Collider Carly Lane

Season 3 Review: This time around, the show also has more distinct fall vibes, with one episode even revolving around a friend-cation booked in a countryside cottage, but don't mistake the cozy aesthetic as a sign of more relaxed storytelling. Instead, Starstruck seems poised to redefine both itself and its winsome leading lady once again, just as it did when it stole our hearts all the way back in Season 1. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Ultimately, Starstruck is a romantic comedy that understands, respects, appreciates, and celebrates the genre, all while still carving out its own unique place in the category. Read full review

Season 2 Review: Matafeo’s voice is completely distinctive and the show is her voice, so I look forward to future seasons of Starstruck offering an effervescent escape from the gloomy norm. Read full review

The Telegraph Michael Hogan

Season 2 Review: This joyous second series reaffirms that it’s very much its own beast. Less of a sadcom, more of a screwball romcom. Just don’t call it kooky or quirky. Read full review

Season 2 Review: A misfire to keep the show stuck in place, spinning its wheels, rather than pushing the story forward. ... There’s no comedy in whatever is happening between them, but no substance either. Tom remains underwritten. Read full review

Adorable show, spectacular writing and acting (particularly for Rose Matafeo) - I probably woke my children at least once per episode I laughed so loudly
