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 & 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

Him and Her is a fantastic comedy. The writing is very well thought out because it is so simple like The Royle Family and thats why it is extremely popular. Laura is twisted character of I'm sure everyone knows of in real life. her nasty and sly comments to everyone and how self obsessed makes her one of the best characters in the programme. Russel and Sarah are perfect for the main role, playing a convincing couple which are adorable. This programmes focuses on characters rather than one liners, you have to know the characters to understand this and enjoy it. It seems very realistic and the characters are makes you laugh because you know its ridiculous but it is very real.
I came to this very late as missed it at the time, but I love Stefan Golaszewski's writing on Cowards and Mum so happy to find it.
It's a nice little show- reminiscent of a series of little plays, especially with the enclosed setting for series 1-3. The show is really carried by the two leads who put in great performances and have fantastic chemistry. Shelley & Dan is a nice arc as well, and overall it captures a certain time of life really nicely.
As some others have noted Laura's character arc from tone deaf and narcissistic to plain evil is a bit much and strains believability to breaking point, but more positives than negatives for me.
Outside of the two leads the characters are a bit cartoonish, but Steve and Becky stand and watch this madness unfold around them and you see some great moments from them especially. Enjoyable.

I'll agree, the first episode was a little hard to get into, but once you do, its just so clever. Anyone who's been in a very co dependent relationship like this will fall in love.
It's funny because it's true!
The characters all work really well together and I love the fact that they always manage to stay in the flat and never leave it. I kept wondering how they were gonna keep them there and was constantly surprised.
Great real life writing and acting.
I'd definitely recommend it to people who like BBC shows. (not something all Americans will appreciate, but will surely find a way to rip off down the line!)
