We know that he’s unhappy with the quality of the movies he’s been doing, and that he likes Jessie for reasons he can’t articulate, and that’s about it.

Matafeo wrote the series with Alice Snedden, and it shares Jessie’s relative lack of interest in Tom’s life. The morning after they first hook up, Tom quizzes Jessie about her parents’ names and other pertinent details, and is amused that the best she can think to ask him is about his favorite colors. Jessie and Tom argue from almost the first moment they meet in a nightclub men’s room on New Year’s Eve, yet they’re unmistakably drawn to each other, even as their respective levels of fame (or lack thereof) keep getting in the way. But he’s enough of a celebrity that his agent Cath (Minnie Driver, hilarious in what’s unfortunately only one scene out of six episodes) warns him he would ruin the life of any civilian he tried to date. Tom (Nikesh Patel) is a rising star who… well, the show isn’t clear on exactly how famous he’s meant to be, since in some scenes he’ll have paparazzi camped outside his apartment, while in many others he’s able to move around London completely anonymously.

Jessie (Rose Matafeo) is a New Zealander who lives in London with roommate Kate (Emma Sidi), and works half-heartedly at a movie theater concession stand and as a part-time nanny for a wealthy family. Think Notting Hill meets a version of Fleabag that’s played almost entirely for laughs. This is the central tension of Starstruck, an immensely likable Britcom that landed on HBO Max earlier this month.
On the other, her off-kilter way of looking at the world lands on an important truth: Dating a movie star is much more complicated than if Tom was just a random guy she really liked. On the one hand, this is Jessie being overly dramatic and narcissistic, as she is prone to do.
Claire McCarthy is series producer.“This is the worst thing that’s ever happened to me!” Jessie declares upon realizing that Tom, the man she just slept with, is a movie star.
