Instead, the scene itself pivots right back to what the show is best known for doing.

The Private Lives of Liza Minnelli (The Rainbow Ends Here) Though Matafeo primarily does off-kilter comedy on this show - a later episode finds Jessie and Tom fighting because she doesnвЂ™t like him describing her as вЂњkookyвЂќ - this is utterly raw and compelling dramatic acting from her, and suggests a serious, Fleabag-esque pivot for Starstruck. Well, less вЂњcryingвЂќ than вЂњfull-throated, agonized sobbing and wailing.вЂќ It is obvious in this moment that Jessie has tested positive, and is grappling with the biggest stupid mistake in a lifetime filled with thousands of tiny stupid mistakes. It is clearly not what she wants, and she begins crying. The shot switches to Jessie sitting on the toilet as she holds up a home pregnancy test to study the result. The scene in question opens with Jessie reflected in her bathroom mirror as her phone timer goes off.

It is the beginning of the fourth episode of the second season of Starstruck, the exceedingly charming British romantic comedy co-created by and starring Rose Matafeo as Jessie, a directionless New Zealander living in London who stumbles into a relationship with action movie star Tom ( Nikesh Patel). The clubhouse leader for the funniest TV scene of 2022 does not start out seeming as if it is going to be funny at all. This post contains spoilers for the second season of Starstruck, which is streaming in its entirety on HBO Max, and we highly recommend you watch it before we ruin an utterly hysterical punchline.
