What is Alice and Steve About?
The series follows Alice and Steve, two friends whose relationship has lasted for more than two decades. Their close friendship suddenly begins to collapse when Steve starts a romantic relationship with Alice’s daughter, Izzy, who is just 26.
The plot reads (via The Hollywood Reporter):
Although both are no strangers to chaos and dubious decision-making, their once rock-solid friendship is turned upside down and tested to its limits — threatening their families, futures and everything in between.
Well, Alice decides to do anything and everything it takes to separate them, but Steve is not easy to back down. Even Alice’s husband, Daniel, loses his patience with his wife, but neither of the two friends is ready to back down.
Critics have praised the show for embracing the messiness of its premise rather than trying to make the situation seem acceptable or romanticized. And this is why it stands out.
The story shows how a single decision can completely unravel years of friendship and strain family ties. Overall, it feels far more compelling than a series that simply asks viewers to approve of Steve’s choice or presents it as a conventional romance.
