Creator Jamie Demetriou's eponymous Stath, incompetent and impulsive and ambitious in equal measure, is desperate to prove himself in the estate agent business to his Greek-Cypriot father. It's a lovely timely take on the madnesses of the London-innit property market ("Two beds, spacious with a cooling draught, £1,750 pcm") in which the poor tenant will always come last, if not be accidentally assaulted. Stath's mix of charmlessness and utter desire to please is a comedy stalwart given a fresh Greco-Cyprian twist: and it spritzes and froths away, ably aided by an ensemble cast that features Demetriou's sister Natasia.
Euan Ferguson, The Guardian, 1st July 2018The 50 best podcasts of 2018
From Julia Davis's dark comedy Dear Joan to track-by-track teardown Dissect, Marc Maron to Meat and beyond, here are this year's finest audio offerings.
Hannah J Davies, Hannah Verdier and Harriet Gibsone, The Guardian, 30th June 2018Created by Jamie Demetriou (and co-written by Robert "Friday Night Dinner" Popper), this new comedy set in the lettings agency world looks highly promising. Demetriou stars as Stath, desperate to prove himself to his Greek-Cypriot father but hampered by his incompetence and impulsive behaviour, which tonight includes borderline physical assault on a client. Much of the comedy rings all too true, particularly on the subject of the dismal state of London properties to let for the thick end of two grand.

There's plenty to like in Jamie Demetriou's new comedy, but I'm going to need another viewing before exchanging contracts.

A fixer-upper with potential.

Jay Richardson, i Newspaper, 25th June 2018Meet Stath, Jamie Demetriou's clueless estate agent
He was Bus Rodent, the creepy love interest in Fleabag. Now Jamie Demetriou has his own sitcom - about a wannabe wideboy in the grotty world of property. Will his 'asexual innocent' be a hit?
Rachel Aroesti, The Guardian, 24th June 2018Jamie Demetriou interview
After five long years in the making, Jamie Demetriou is finally able to take Stath Lets Flats from pilot to series and it was certainly worth the wait.
I Talk Telly, 23rd June 2018TV preview: Stath Lets Flats, C4
It's about time C4 had a brand new hit. Marc Wootton's High & Dry didn't quite hit the spot, but maybe Stath Lets Flats is the one. I wouldn't let Stath anywhere near my flat but I'll watch him on my television. Through my fingers mostly.
