Him & Her

Him & Her is a terrific television series with superbly written episodes and a phenomenal comedic cast. The concept is incredibly refreshing and unique, having the first three seasons take place entirely in a small apartment, it genuinely never gets boring despite the limited space, as the richness of these characters and the dialogue that ensues between them is brilliant. The final season then has a much bigger setting, which I will not give away, but the transition is almost seamless and the writers do not forget to maintain the subtle nuances of these characters when making their circumstances bigger.

The only really gripe I have against the show is that there was not enough development given for Dan. He is a terrific character, as well as somewhat of an enigma, and I would love to have learned a good bit more about him before the series concluded than we did.

The cast is all around spectacular and convey their characters with great realism, while also maintaining the comedic moments with terrific ease. Russell Tovey and Sarah Solemami deserve the most credit, delivering a beautifully real, pure and honest depiction of an adult relationship. Kerry Howard was also brilliant, I absolutely despised Laura, which means she was doing a good job, Ricky Champ, Joe Wilkinson and Camille Coduri also shine, among several others.

Sweet, funny and different. There really is no other show like Him & Her, each episode manages to take you on a journey without even leaving a small apartment space, I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good comedy series.

Follows a working class couple in their apartment as they are constantly pestered by friends and family.

Best Performance: Russell Tovey

Absolutely fabulous and so reliable to my and my partner when we first got together; lazy and obsessed with each other, without a care in the world Russell Tavoy and Sarah Solemani are absolutely amazing and have such good chemistry on screen, Joe Wilkinson was made to play Dan, the nerdy, weird, awkward neighbour who's always there even if he's not wanted, and Kerry Howard is excellent as Laura, one of the most annoying characters in TV history.

The episodes don't have stories, but that's the point. Much like most young couples you go from one thing to the next without any consequences, nothing matters when you're young and in love.

My only downside is the wedding of Paul (played by Ricky Champ and Laura (Howard), I feel that this took away from Becky (Solemani) and Steve (Tavoy) and I for one would very much like to see another mini series in 2024, seeing how it all worked out for Becky and Steve.

I have to say i love the show. All the characters give something to the show and don't listen to other reviews about Becky's sister laura. She's intentionally annoying but somewhat hilarious.

Him & Her is, at least for me, the most realistic television portrayal of a millennial couple I've ever seen. Russell and Sarah do an amazing job of making you believe they are in a long term, super comfortable relationship and they're incredibly funny while doing so. Steve and Becky remind me so much of my now husband and I that I'm going to be immediately rewatching this series with him. I'm American but watch a lot of British series, especially comedies, because I find them to be more realistic than our shows that make it seem like everyone is flawless and rich (I'm looking at you Friends) which gets quite boring. I've enjoyed every UK comedy show I've tried and Him & Her is now a favorite.

'Him and Her' is a rather strange comedy series. Following the undemanding rhythms of the lives of a couple of lazy twenty-somethings, it's bleak but grimly humorous. While there are some of the conventions of the genre on show (the nerdy single neighbour, for example), it nicely captures a sort of contemporary coziness and rubbishness, in a manner vaguely similar to shows such as 'Pulling'. But whereas 'Pulling' was hysterically funny, 'Him and Her' lacks both the inspired lunacy, or any sense of plot: each episode is nicely constructed, but it's hard to feel like anything really matters. Rather, it's a series almost entirely full of those moments that make you smile (in a rather revolted way) while you wait for the real gag. I felt I ought to like it more than I did; but sadly, I lost interest before it was through.
