Viewers cannot stop watching the new revenge comedy drama 'Alice and Steve,' starring Nicola Walker from 'Unforgotten.' The Disney+ series launched on Monday, June 8, and fans have already binged all six episodes.
Plot Overview
The series follows long-standing friends Alice and Steve, whose three-decade friendship turns into bitter rivalry when Steve, played by Jemaine Clement, starts a relationship with Alice's 26-year-old daughter. Nicola Walker plays Alice, a bold and impulsive woman who uses extreme tactics to end the romance.
Critical Reception
The show has received mixed reviews. Radio Times gave it four stars, calling it "poignant and funny." However, The Guardian described it as "dated and wrong," awarding two stars, while The Telegraph echoed this view, stating "the heart of the show is just too icky to ignore."
Audience Reactions
Fans have praised the series online. One viewer called it "great," while another said, "I loved the wicked humour & friends to enemies about turn. Emotional warfare is funny & the love/hate between these two is epic." Another fan appealed for a second season, posting, "Just binged the entire season, please tell me there's a season 2!"
Nicola Walker on Her Role
Discussing her choice to accept the part, Walker told HELLO!: "I love all of the women I've played. Then, when Alice came through, I thought, well, I haven't really played someone like her. That was the main draw. And the writing is so incredibly good. It was a bit of a no-brainer, actually."
'Alice and Steve' is available to stream on Disney+.
