Jenna Scherer Rolling Stone 02/18/2021
The narrative of I Hate Suzie is a vital one, asking necessary questions about what it means to be a woman in the spotlight, and the furious tap-dance female celebrities must perform in order to remain palatable to the viewing public. Go to Full Review Suzi Feay Financial Times 12/18/2020
3/5
Piper navigates the peaks and troughs of nasty comedy and abject misery with supreme ease. You won't hate Suzie, but she's not exactly easy to like either. Go to Full Review Chris Bennion The Times (UK) 12/18/2020
5/5
Like I May Destroy You before it, I Hate Suzie is a glorious mess of ideas, a potent, fizzing monument to the creativity of its makers. Go to Full Review Jason Flatt But Why Tho? 01/23/2023
9/10
You will love I Hate Suzy. Its 8-episode descent into the doldrums of a former child star’s tragedy will leave you emotionally compromised and seriously considering who you see as victims in scandals and why you see them that way. Go to Full Review Allegra Frank The Daily Beast 12/23/2022
For as bleakly comic as Season 1 of actress/co-creator Billie Piper’s masterwork often was, the show balanced its humor with an unflinching, unrelenting darkness. Go to Full Review Nick Levine NME (New Musical Express) 07/08/2021
4/5
It might be too spiky for some viewers, but those who invest will find I Hate Suzie is one of 2020's most riveting new shows. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Gareth v @geewah 06/28/2024 This well written and unique look at the double standards of being a female celebrity is worth checking out just for Billie Piper's career best turn. While far from perfect, it's an entertaining show. See more Rufi K @RT00299378 01/08/2023 Never seen a show portray the inner voice of someone that I might not necessarily like or agree with right off the bat, but it was quite unique how by the end of the first season, I am 100% team Suzie. I think she's just a person that makes mistakes, stuck around people that don't bring out the best in her. It's an awful situation to be in, and to add to the stress, you have the media constantly hounding her. Very complex, beautifully done piece of art. See more Alan B @RT16086288 12/24/2022 I can imagine that this is too uncomfortable watching for some, but it is well worth the effort! Piper is just getting better and better as an actor. Lots of good support as well. See more Y @Sandra360 12/23/2022 It's bizarre how few reviews there are here for this. It's amazing. See more jenny-lyn f @Judy888 12/16/2022 I tried persevering with the first episode. I found it disjointed and confusing. Didn't hook me to find out where it was going as it felt like it would never get to the point. Maybe others who could follow this would appreciate it See more 08/13/2022 Simply wasn't funny. And Lucy Pebble is funny. Calculator does not commute, u do the MATH See more Read all reviews
