Every one of the eight reviews so far is positive, and the praise lands in the same place: Rose Matafeo, who co-writes and stars. Most critics single out her comic timing and her ease on screen as the reason the series works, with the writing close behind, fast and flirty rather than laboured. Her chemistry with Nikesh Patel comes up again and again, and several reviews mention the supporting cast, Minnie Driver among them, as part of what keeps the thing warm rather than merely brisk.
The spread is narrow, running from good to very good, and the reservations are small. The Guardian calls the premise improbable before conceding the series is enjoyable anyway, and one or two others treat the set-up, an ordinary woman sleeping with a film star, as the least interesting thing about the show. Nobody argues it is more than a romcom; the only disagreement is over how good a romcom it is.
