British Comedy Guide, 13th November 2022I Hate You, review
If this is being young today, I'm glad to be a Baby Boomer.
Christopher Stevens, Daily Mail, 14th October 2022From Friday Night Dinner's Robert Popper, this six-part sitcom follows two twentysomething best mates, Charlie (Sex Education's Tanya Reynolds) and Becca (Melissa Saint), who have, somehow, managed to bag a spacious two-bed flat in London Fields. Anyway, they pull pranks on each other, have lots of inside jokes and regularly end up in sticky situations. In tonight's opening double bill the friends try dating pensioners, then hatch an elaborate plan to deal with a work crisis.

Gabriel Tate, i Newspaper, 13th October 2022I Hate You review
Like watching two grown women possessed by the spirit of puerile teenage boys.
Rebecca Nicholson, The Guardian, 13th October 2022I Hate You, review
It wouldn't be unreasonable to raise questions of authenticity, having a middle-aged bloke write for two young women, but this isn't that sort of a comedy. Realism isn't important here.

Friday Night Dinner was famously based on the writer's own family. So who was the inspiration for the bickering best mates of his new show I Hate You?
Rich Pelley, The Guardian, 30th September 2022I Hate You, review: Channel 4's latest sitcom is an absolute dog's dinner
Despite serious talent in front of and behind the camera, this puerile, strenuously zany comedy is nothing but irritating.
