Overview
- All six episodes of Alice and Steve will stream on Monday, June 8, on Hulu in the U.S. and on Disney+ internationally, following a coordinated release plan.
- Reviews published June 2–3 single out Nicola Walker’s ferocious, scene-stealing performance as the series’ emotional anchor and a key reason critics say the show lands.
- Coverage describes the show as an intentional 'anti‑romantic' or 'hate' story that foregrounds the fallout between longtime friends after one begins dating the other’s adult daughter.
- Multiple critics praise Jemaine Clement’s quieter, sympathetic turn and the supporting cast, but many also say the six roughly 30‑minute episodes sometimes feel overstuffed and rush plot beats.
- The series used a festival strategy — notably winning at CANNESERIES and appearing at Tribeca — to build prestige, and creators and cast have signaled openness to a second season depending on audience response.
