Alice and Steve review
This tale of a midlife man dating his best friend’s 26-year-old daughter is interminable, and so unconvincing that Clement looks embarrassed throughout
TL;DR
- The show centers on the unexpected relationship between Steve and Izzy, Alice's daughter, whom Steve has known since childhood.
- The article criticizes the show for not adequately exploring the inherent 'ick' and power dynamics of the situation.
- Alice's character arc is described as static, driven by outrage without nuance.
- The review notes a lack of on-screen chemistry between the actors and finds the plot unconvincing.
- A more believable relationship is noted between Alice's son Dom and his crush Rome, though it is not integrated into the main plot.
