The show finds a lightning-in-a-bottle level of cutesy magic, somewhat similar to Fleabag's second season. It's not as poignant, but it doesn't have to be.
Starstruck is the rare rom-com that will appeal to audiences who aren’t just fans of the genre. Rose Matafeo and Nikesh Patel in Starstruck.Starstruck doesn’t serve up any huge romantic gestures or lovey-dovey montages. Matafeo is out to reflect how ungainly modern dating has become. And she succeeds, partly because she does more than focus on the difficulties. There’s plenty of joy to be found in the search for a soulmate in 2021, from the initial sparks of attraction to dealing with friends who are trying to be cool but make things more cumbrous.
