Sizzlin' Summer Streaming 23' - Smothered - Season One

Smothered was a super easy watch! All six episodes landed on Binge, December 7. Or if you like week-to-week they air on 7:30pm Friday December 8 on FOX8. But come on, fuck that!

Starring Danielle Vitalis, Jon Pointing and Aisling Bea. Smothered has a killer soundtrack, with love in the air. Its a romantic time of the year (mixed with stress and anxiety) so this six episode comedy was a nice distraction.

So what's the story morning glory? Sammy (Vitalis) and Tom (Pointing) meet on a night out at karaoke and start a no-strings-attached affair for a limited time on the condition that they will never speak to each other again after three weeks.

The UK comedy series Smothered, created by Monica Heisey (Workin’ Moms, Schitt’s Creek).Vitalis  is from the excellent HBO series I May Destroy You, along with Netflix series, Black Mirror) while handsome Jon Pointing previously featured in Big Boys.

Early on we discover that there is another woman in Tom’s life… his six-year-old daughter Ellie. This throws the next few episodes up into the chaos.

However there are other dramas ahead for the new lovers.

I have leaned into these easy breezy, short, fun UK series this past season. I love a quick six episode run. Binge has done well to get this along with other UK series on their platform.

The music (I have to say again) featured is all killer, no filler. Even Aussie Fisher gets his anthem Losing It in the mix. What a tune! Still to this day!

Anyway it's almost Christmas however there are still finales of NCIS Sydney (I think) along with Rap Sh!t's second (and final season? - not yet renewed) season while tomorrow night I will jump into Binge's Real Housewives of Sydney reunion with Joel Creasey.

Until then. Later!
