Disney+'s 'Alice And Steve' has sparked significant controversy due to its unsettling plot revolving around Alice, a married mother, and her ex-lover Steve, who becomes romantically involved with Alice's 26-year-old daughter, Izzy. Critics have described the series as a 'romantic comedy' that borders on disturbing, labeling it a 'borderline paedo wish-fulfilment fantasy.' The narrative begins with a darkly comedic scene at a funeral, where Steve, a wealthy hair stylist, and Alice, who relives her 1990s glory days, navigate awkward moments involving a deceased friend and a dog. The storyline escalates as Izzy, who has known Steve since childhood, develops an attraction to him, leading to a sexual encounter that leaves viewers feeling uncomfortable. Despite Alice's attempts to sabotage their relationship, Izzy's infatuation with Steve persists. Critics highlight the show's failure to handle its themes sensitively, contrasting it unfavorably with other works like 'Last Tango In Halifax', which managed to address unconventional romances with more nuance.
