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.

Matafeo and Patel’s fantastic chemistry is more than capable of carrying the pair through their bumpiest moments, and the show does a rather remarkable job of reshaping the contours of their epic first season will they/won’t they story into something that is new and different, but no less compelling than it was before.

Season 2 of Starstruck takes the show from the novelty of the star-regular-person dynamic of the first season and concentrates on the chemistry of the ensemble, which is the sign of a maturing show.

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.

This was a sweetly worked establishing episode, which, unlike the majority of romcoms, ventured beyond the happily-ever-after stage.

Tom is sincere and serious to a fault. Jessie, meanwhile, is unable to display any affection or vulnerability without turning it into a joke. The lack of chemistry between Girl and Boy induces more anxiety than laughter.

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.
