I was looking for a more romantic fairy-tail-ish style romance when I ended up watching this one. Though I suppose basing it in lockdown during Covid should’ve been a clue that this wasn’t that.

Stuck On You handles the stereotypical “two characters thrown together” in a realistic way. There’s no “well that wouldn’t happen in real life” moment because this very much feels like a slice of life and conversations that real people would have.

It’s incredibly emotionally honest. The actors completely sell that.

Rather than escaping reality through romance, this show brings your expectations of real romance down to earth. It teaches without being too heavy handed with it.

The sound design is the weakest part. There’s jumpiness between some cuts and when there’s a song sung in the scene, it’s so obviously produced and not sung onscreen
