Alice & Jack: Limited Series

"Love can be agonising, but that doesn’t mean stories about it should themselves be painful to watch."

"A love story lacking in chemistry and believability."

"It’s difficult to picture any two performers making much of such shallow material."

"More honest about human behavior than most romances allow."

"The dialogue is pretentious. The last five minutes are completely stupid."

"There’s... (an) easy banter that hooks you in and makes you want to see where they’ll end up."

"Wonderfully written stuff."

"It is raw and honest, and if you make it to the end you will be rewarded, though not exactly cheered."

"(At times) feels like one of the most interesting love stories we’ve seen in ages, and at others it’s infuriatingly annoying."

"Doesn’t establish its individual characters well enough to make us root for them."

"The tide of plinky-plonk melodies and maudlin sentiments suggest we’re meant to take the anguished romance at face value."

"This love story is utterly lacking in passion, the characters seem like fools and the script is flimsy."

"The supporting cast... is stock generated from Romance Mad Libs."

"Neither character has much dimension or motivation."
