There are some things you just don't do: like starting a relationship with your best friend's 26-year-old daughter. But that’s exactly what Steve (Jermaine Clement) does when he falls in love with Izzy and puts her mother Alice in an impossible situation: The prospect of losing both her best friend and her daughter leaves her devastated. So she decides to end the relationship by any means necessary—with pleading pleas, wild threats, and the potential destruction of his career. The only problem is that the once-best friends are so alike: Steve isn’t one to back down, which is why the conflict escalates into a bitter feud—a war of the roses between former besties that even becomes too much for Alice’s husband. While Steve is desperate to preserve his newfound happiness, it threatens to destroy his long-standing friendship forever. Thus, loyalty turns to revenge, love becomes a true test of endurance, and “Alice and Steve” becomes a bitterly dark reminder that none of the many forms of love are simple. Created, by the way, by showrunner Sophie Goodheart (“Sex Education”), who delivers the perfect anti-rom-com here.
