British Comedy Guide, 27th November 2023The Flatshare gets it right about London's awful rental market
With only 10% of house shares in the capital having any communal space, it's no wonder that even romcoms are featuring the housing crisis as a backstory.
Precious Adesina, The Guardian, 21st December 2022Flatmates are disgusting. What would it take to fall in love with one?
I adore a good romcom, but the reviews were adamant: The Flatshare is not that. I switched off my limited critical faculties and surrendered to a fondue-gooey viewing experience. It has a sketchy plot, damp-squib sexual chemistry and supporting characters limited to one personality trait, as if rationed.

A romcom perfect for the cost-of-living crisis.

This romcom won't save the London rental market, but it might make you smile.

This cheesefest is as maddeningly watchable as Emily In Paris.
Rebecca Nicholson, The Guardian, 1st December 2022The Flatshare: this charming romcom is like dipping into a nice warm bath
Yes, this book adaptation - about a couple who fall in love while timesharing an apartment - has the stupidest series hook of all time. But it's fun, tight - and great hangover TV.
