Still Up grabbed me on Apple TV+ via a trailer or something. The series started back in late September, concluding it's eight episodes last month. So I was fairly across it.
Starring Antonia Thomas and Craig Roberts, Still Up follows the fluctuating late-night relationship of free-spirited illustrator Lisa (Antonia Thomas) and Danny (Craig Roberts), an agoraphobic journalist.
Lisa and Danny are both insomniacs, and while the world sleeps, they stay connected and talk for hours despite having only met once.
Being on Apple TV+, there is a lot of use of iPhones and earphones, all being connected in the wee hours of the morning.
Lisa is dating Veggie (yes that's the characters name) played by Blake Harrison, which causes some tension. Mainly because Lisa and Danny share everything overnight whilst he sleeps.
It's a simple little series, however it has a whole lot of heart. Was it perfect? Far from it, but I am finally getting into English series now! It has only taken months of no new US content, to get onboard!
Still Up is sweet whilst being non-offensive, funny at times, leaving me ask the question will Apple TV+ give this a second go? I am not 100% it will, but for now, this is a nice little pre-Christmas warm blanket to wrap yourself up in on these hot (almost) summer days/nights.
Until next time!
