starstruck
this British rom com limited series is so smart and delightful. tldr: boy and girl hookup at a nye party. girl finds out boy is a famous movie star and doesn’t want any part of it. ensue boy pining after girl and a little vice versa! created by and starring the wonderfully charming New Zealand comedian Rose Matefeo. each episode is a season i.e. fall, summer, winter etc. so you follow the characters over a good chunk of time but the episodes are only 20 mins. basically an extended rom com plus it’s British so it checks all the boxes. available on hbo!

“I’m an unwavering fan of a perfect three season arc. You can tell a perfect story, filled with character development, world building and nuance. Starstruck is a shining example of that and a show that made me endlessly happy. Rose Matafeo is a gem.”
