Many series and movies don’t bother with that, giving every character in Starstruck a lot more notes to play.Inspired by Gene Kelly’s iconic work in Hollywood, Starstruck will be released as a feature-length film in partnership with Marquee TV. In this immersive, theatrical experience, audiences around the world can escape with us to the glamour and grace of Paris, 1960. They can help Jessie and Tom, but they’re believable people who, when the leads aren't around, have their own thing going on, with their dreams and aspirations.

One of the great things about Kate and the rest of the non-leads is that they have their own stories. Including her “sidekick”, Kate (Emma Sidi, Matafeo’s real best friend), who should be on every best rom-com sidekick list. Matafeo alone can make any scene better, but she also has incredible chemistry with everyone in the cast. They’re charming and lovely together, but they cannot make it work because of their neuroses, creating a “will they, won’t they” situation, and transforming it into "these two are crazy for each other, we hope they can’t get out of their own way and make it work" situation. They hook up, they don’t see each other for a bit, they date, and they break up, showing the messiness of dating in the 2020s, but also how both characters are part of the problem more than the solution. Matafeo and Patel work great with each other, having an incredible rapport between their characters. Matafeo told The New York Times that When Harry Met Sally was one of her inspirations because “so much of the character and the story is revealed in dialogue rather than the big print” and it shows in every interaction between Jesse and Tom.Īny rom-com lives and dies with the performances of its lead characters, and the chemistry between them. If they can flirt while joking about kidnappings, they’ve found out their other half. What’s obvious, is that the rapport between Jessie and Tom is great, and it shows us why they can and should work together.

Actually, the fact that he’s a famous movie star is more of a flaw for her than a plus. Jessie doesn’t want to be a damsel in distress, saved by the rich hero boyfriend who can get her anything she wants. Not only is she the lead, but dating and having a family isn’t something she’s particularly looking for in her messy life. In many movies, her confident, brash, and unique personality would be given to the messy friend, the one that’s only there to listen to the star's problems and give quirky advice. Talking about rom-com tropes and their subversions, like when in episode two, she’s dancing down the canal after having sex, Matafeo told Elle: “There are intentional subversions of those tropes, and then sometimes they're accidental (…) A lot of people were like, “Oh, that's an interesting subversion of the walk of shame.” It didn't even cross our minds that it was a subversion of anything because it is just genuinely what we authentically feel, the day after we have sex - totally invincible.”

Matafeo’s a fan and expert in all the romantic comedies that have come before her, and she knows how to either subvert them or give them a new angle to play with.

It might be a TV show, but it has the structure, lovely moments, and romantic underpinnings of the best movie rom-coms. We’ve had some good ones ( To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, Set It Up), and Starstruck might be the best of all, as it uses its TV structure to show us more layers and adventures with its characters. That’s why most of them have gone to streaming.

The last ten years have not been the best for rom-coms at the box office.
