It’s one of the great achievements of this new HBO Max comedy that this dance of uncertain feelings and independent lives is so well woven into the genuinely funny DNA of the rest of the series that it all feels blissfully natural. Read full review

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. Read full 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

“Starstruck” is a charmer, despite it’s unlikelihoods and its conventional “Notting Hill”-esque moves. If you like rom-coms, and you must if you decide to watch, then you won’t mind following the somewhat predictable ups and downs of their relationship, which involve as many banter-filled flirtations as threatening rivals and misunderstandings.

“Lady Parts” becomes the unassuming powerhouse that it is when it dives deeper into Saira’s backstory and the group’s minor members court some Internet fame, to predictably disastrous results. Read full review

Once you are over this slightly improbable premise and a slightly flat first episode while everybody finds their rhythm in this fairytale-inflected Hackney romcom, there is a lot to enjoy. There’s Matafeo’s performance for starters. Read full review
