Best Friend Dates Daughter: Chaos Ensues

The new Disney+ "wrong-com," Alice and Steve, centers on a decades-long platonic friendship between London creatives Alice and Steve. Their bond is dramatically tested when Steve begins a relationship with Alice's 26-year-old daughter, Izzy.

The series kicks off with a wild night after a funeral, leading to a dog's accidental ingestion of vintage cocaine from Alice's handbag. This incident, while startling, doesn't break their friendship, but it precedes Izzy's unexpected romantic advance towards Steve.

This age-gap romance, which sparks considerable cringe due to Steve knowing Izzy since she was a baby and having dated Alice previously, drives the show's conflict. Steve's genuine feelings for Izzy clash with the damage to his lifelong friendship with Alice.

Alice's response is a campaign of petty sabotage, including trying to expose Steve as out-of-touch to Izzy's friends. Nicola Walker delivers a standout performance, showcasing her comedic talent as Alice navigates rage and heartbreak. The six half-hour episodes offer a fast-paced, funny, and moving exploration of ruined friendships.
