Jemaine Clement and Nicola Walker Deliver Hilarious Performances in Alice and Steve Review

Hulu’s “Alice and Steve” may sound like a typical rom-com, but it dives into a different kind of relationship. Instead of following lovebirds, the show focuses on best friends Alice (played by Nicola Walker) and Steve (played by Jemaine Clement) whose friendship is put to the test when Steve starts dating Alice’s daughter, Izzy (played by Yali Topol Margalith).

Created by Sophie Goodhart and directed by Tom Kingsley, “Alice and Steve” showcases the strong bond between Alice and Steve, highlighting their platonic chemistry. While the show explores some questionable choices made by both characters, it keeps the audience grounded in the authenticity of their friendship.

Steve’s relationship with Izzy raises eyebrows, considering their age difference and the fact that Steve has known Izzy since she was a child. The show doesn’t shy away from these uncomfortable aspects but doesn’t dwell on them either. It also sheds light on the complexities within Alice’s own marriage to Daniel (played by Joel Fry), revealing vulnerabilities and flaws in her character.

Overall, “Alice and Steve” offers a fresh take on friendship dynamics with a mix of humor and drama, making it a compelling watch for those looking for a unique twist on the rom-com genre.
