What to Know

Critics Consensus

Starstruck doesn't rewrite the rom-com datebook, but with a quick wit and a star-making turn from the dynamic Rose Matafeo it's easy to fall for anyway.

Judy Berman TIME Magazine 02/13/2023
It’s a premise straight out of fanfiction, but creator and star Rose Matafeo steers it confidently, and entertainingly, out of the realm of fantasy... Go to Full Review Wenlei Ma News.com.au 06/26/2021
Kiwi comedian Rose Matafeo has infused the six-part rom-com she created, co-wrote and stars in with a witty sense of humour and a freshness, as well as a clear, deep love for the genre. Go to Full Review Kylie Northover The Age (Australia) 06/24/2021
4/5
This unashamedly sweet romcom -- stay with me -- is such a delight that even those who find the genre outdated and saccharine will find it hard to dislike. Go to Full Review Jennifer Bisset CNET 03/30/2023
Watch out for scene-stealer Minnie Driver as Tom's agent in this witty, neatly crafted comedy package. Go to Full Review Sarah Ward Concrete Playground 06/25/2022
Takes Notting Hill's premise, gives it a 22-years-later update and delivers a smart, sidesplittingly funny and all-round charming rom-com. Go to Full Review Sabrina Barr metro.co.uk 02/07/2022

Jenaro V @JenaroV 12/01/2024 Buena comedia, el humor británico esta en otro nivel, el personaje de Jessie es genial en toda su esencia y el de Tom esta bien pero a veces cuesta creerle que de verdad es un actor famoso, más por cosas que pasan y hace que por la interpretación, la dinámica es muy buena y me gusta que los capítulos sean representados en estaciones. See more Koo K @Koocool 11/25/2023 What a refreshing series to the rom-com genre. Throroughly enjoyed it! I love both actors in the leading roles. See more Susan J @CallMeLulu 07/05/2023 Seemed to be of a particular 30-somethings genre or trying-too-hard-to-be-energetic/manic/funny/quirky, and I'm left exhausted, without having laughed and not being into the "cringe factor" of characters who don't resonate with me at all. See more 08/03/2022 Rose Matafeo is brilliant. See more ma'ark t @RT57514104 07/26/2022 Starstruck stands out in today's market as a good rom-com. It is getting harder to find - quality viewing in this genre these days. I like that the humour works at different levels - subtle, cringe, over the top, dry etc... See more 05/02/2022 Loved it. Rose and Nikesh have great easy chemistry on set and nothing ever felt too cringey or stressful when watching like some rom-com drama type things do. Very funny and a great selection of characters.
