Directed by Tom Kingsley and starring Nicola Walker and Jemaine Clement, Alice and Steve is the Disney Plus "wrong-com" that follows two best friends of twenty-five years whose bond implodes when Steve starts dating Alice's daughter. One of the more under-the-radar surprises of the year, this is a show that earns its chaos every step of the way.
In this review, Fraser shares why Nicola Walker's performance as Alice completely recontextualised what he thought he knew about her after years of watching Unforgotten, why Jemaine Clement's turn as Steve might be one of his most underrated, and the moment near the season's end that stopped the show in its tracks and stuck with Fraser long after the credits rolled.
