Synopsis
Starstruck (2021) is a British romantic comedy from the BBC that you can watch online on iFILM. Jessie is a New Zealander adrift in London, juggling two dead-end jobs and crashing in her best friend's flat. A drunken New Year's Eve hook-up turns awkward fast when she realizes the guy she went home with is a famous movie star.
What follows isn't a fairy tale — it's two adults fumbling through whatever this is, neither willing to say it first. Rose Matafeo plays Jessie and co-created the show with Alice Snedden; Nikesh Patel is Tom, the disarmingly normal film star. Minnie Driver and Emma Sidi drop in along the way. Episodes run a tight half hour, fast and genuinely funny.
This one's for anyone sick of saccharine romance. The leads bicker, blow it, and dodge admitting they've fallen for each other. Dry British wit, zero schmaltz. Stream every season of Starstruck online on iFILM.
