Review
Jack Seale
Forget love stories – this is a true hate story, about how an escalating feud causes chaos (but in a comic way, not a Channel 5 original drama way. Nicola Walker and Jemaine Clement star as the eponymous Alice and Steve, whose decades-long friendship grew from a fizzled-out romantic relationship when they were students.
Today, Alice is a cool but self-centred fashion designer; Steve a witty, recently divorced hairdresser. On a night out, Alice encourages him to find a new, younger girlfriend, and Steve demurs. But when he sleeps on Alice’s sofa, there’s immediate chemistry with her recently dumped 20-something daughter, Izzy. Uh-oh.
It’s an impressively wrong-footing premise that challenges prejudices about age-gap relationships… and then reminds us how creepy it is that Steve is dating his ex’s daughter, whom he knew as a child… and then makes him sympathetic by just how extreme Alice’s reaction is (another neat twist – Alice is herself more than a decade older than her husband).
Soon, in an arms race of petty revenge, careers are sabotaged, videos leaked and damaging secrets revealed. It’s a miracle the pair haven’t killed each other by the sixth episode, which ends abruptly, perhaps with a hint that we may see these monstrous BFFs return.
