There are things you don't do: for example, start 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. She therefore decides to end the relationship with all the means at her disposal - with imploring pleas, furious threats and the potential destruction of his career. It's just a shame that the former best friends are so similar: Because Steve is by no means backing down, which is why the conflict degenerates into a bitter feud - a war of the roses between former besties that quickly becomes too much even for Alice's husband. While Steve is determined to preserve his young happiness, this threatens to destroy his long-standing friendship forever. Loyalty turns into revenge, love becomes a real test of endurance and "Alice and Steve" becomes a bitter reminder that none of the many forms of love are easy. Incidentally, showrunner Sophie Goodheart ("Sex Education") is responsible for the perfect anti-rom-com.
