This is a delicate premise. But Goodhart and her cast have the sensitivity to make it work. Go to Full Review
Wenlei Ma The Nightly (AU) Jul 7
Despite its promising start, Alice and Steve is a fizzer, which is such a shame because there are great comedic talents involved. It just doesn’t give them that much to do. Go to Full Review
Nicholas Harris New Statesman Jun 25
You’re never quite sure how to watch it: as a suburban satire, or something heavier -- an interrogation of our time of age-gap scepticism? And on the whole, I’d suggest you don’t. Go to Full Review

A sad, abrasive misfire. Go to Full Review
John Powers NPR's Fresh Air Jul 7
While the show's got some very funny bits - Alice's sharp-tongued mother is a blast - it's often annoyingly lax. Go to Full Review

…a short, compelling watch, and refreshing to see an older female character depicted with honesty…Alice and Steve’s battle of wills plays out entertainingly in a The War of the Roses series of acts of mutual destruction…. Go to Full Review

Tamika A @Tamikin 4d This is probably the weirdest comedy I've watched this year. Some of the humor is definitely not going to work for everyone, but I loved how uncomfortable and unpredictable it could be. See more Doris M @DorisM966 Aug 31 I loved it. The humor is very awkward and dark, and somehow the characters still manage to feel surprisingly human. Definitely one of the more unexpected shows I've enjoyed this year. See more Eva B @RT678904321678 Aug 27 Such a strange little dark comedy, but it really worked for me. The humor is awkward in exactly the right way, and underneath all the absurdity there are some surprisingly emotional moments. See more Cherry D @RT56789032190153 Aug 26 I know not all comedy series need necessarily be laugh out loud funny, but anything labelled as a comedy series does need to at least raise a smile and unfortunately this doesn't. Everything about it just feels awkward and disjointed. See more David J @huberdjaramillo Aug 10 laugh out loud funny See more Jessica D @RT25795533 Aug 5 Hilarious! Would love to see a season 2. The cast were perfect and made it enjoyable to binge. See more Read all reviews
