I Hate You, review

If this is being young today, I'm glad to be a Baby Boomer.

I Hate You, review

A review of Channel 4's new sitcom.

From Friday Night Dinner's Robert Popper, this six-part sitcom follows two twentysomething best mates, Charlie (Sex Education's Tanya Reynolds) and Becca (Melissa Saint), who have, somehow, managed to bag a spacious two-bed flat in London Fields. Anyway, they pull pranks on each other, have lots of inside jokes and regularly end up in sticky situations. In tonight's opening double bill the friends try dating pensioners, then hatch an elaborate plan to deal with a work crisis.

I Hate You, review

It wouldn't be unreasonable to raise questions of authenticity, having a middle-aged bloke write for two young women, but this isn't that sort of a comedy. Realism isn't important here.

Friday Night Dinner was famously based on the writer's own family. So who was the inspiration for the bickering best mates of his new show I Hate You?

I Hate You, review: Channel 4's latest sitcom is an absolute dog's dinner

Despite serious talent in front of and behind the camera, this puerile, strenuously zany comedy is nothing but irritating.
