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 Feb 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 Jun 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) Jun 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This unashamedly sweet romcom -- stay with me -- is such a delight that even those who find the genre outdated and saccharine will find it hard to dislike.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 Mar 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 Jun 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 Feb 7, 2022

Jenaro V @JenaroV Dec 1, 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 Nov 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 Jul 5, 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 Aug 3, 2022 Rose Matafeo is brilliant. See more ma'ark t @RT57514104 Jul 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 May 2, 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.
