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.

Starstruck offers that delightful viewing experience where you realise afterwards you’ve had a massive grin on your face the whole time.

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.

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.

It’s very watchable, whipping along in half-hour episodes. Matafeo honed her skills in stand-up (an Edinburgh Comedy Awards winner) and the writing is smart.

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

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.
