Starstruck 2023

A rom-com series that's just as easy as it is edgy

Our Take (by Renee Cuisia)

New Zealand comic Rose Matafeo directs, writes, and stars in this charming series about a regular woman who unwittingly spends the night with a film star. What was supposed to be a one-night stand hilariously evolves into something quite serious, with both leads learning to navigate the messy contours of modern love (think Notting Hill but with the roles reversed). 

With only six episodes per season, each running at less than 30 minutes, this British romantic comedy series is a sweet and easy gulp; you’ll find yourself alternating between sobs and chuckles throughout the inevitable binge. 

Notable Critics

"If "falling for a movie star" is the potential hook, Matafeo is the one doing the reeling in and doing it with all the confidence that Jessie has."

— Steve Greene

Synopsis

A drunken New Year's Eve hook-up becomes far more complicated for Jessie when she discovers her one night stand is actually a film star.
