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.

Clocking in right over two hours, Starstruck makes for a quick summer watch that leaves you wanting to linger in the escapist joy for a little longer. Just like a good rom-com should.

Mar 24, 2022

Starstruck’s lead pair is endlessly endearing and watchable, even when the show recycles some of their core issues by the end of the season. Thankfully, the repetition doesn’t hinder the show too much. It’s still a goldmine in terms of a lighthearted rom-com, exactly the kind of brief, joyful escape we need.

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.

Starstruck shows us that the kind of charm we’re craving from Hollywood doesn’t necessarily have to come in familiar modes, nor does it need to cleverly break every rule in the book.

“Starstruck” is a breezy watch, thanks to Matafeo, both as a writer and a performer.

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.
