Piper gives an extraordinary performance. ... The eight-episode series tells a complete story, and the finale, "Acceptance," is an emotionally wrenching treasure. But I Hate Suzie should be Piper and Prebble's Fleabag moment.

As well as wit by the bucketload and a searching intelligence informing the whole, the series has the thrilling confidence of a collaboration between people who trust each other implicitly and, secure in that knowledge, have been able to give the best of themselves to us. It’s a wild ride that feels like an absolute gift.

Amazing performance by Billie Piper showing great range of honest raw emotion. The show is intelligent and relatable, especially in how it portrays female experiences. I binge-watched the entire series and plan to re-watch soon.

Billie Piper deserves all the awards! One of the performances of the year by far.

Above all, I Hate Suzie is a masterclass in tone. ... I Hate Suzie is ambitious, thorny, darkly humorous, and incredibly charming—a portrait of vulnerability that bewitches not by prettifying itself, or making itself ugly, but instead with stark, unfiltered honesty. Suzie is not always the hero of this story—the title indicates she’s sometimes her own worst enemy—but the show’s dedication to her range of being is what ends up making I Hate Suzie so lovable.

“I Hate Suzie” has a strange, strong flavor, a briny funk with a surprising undercurrent of sweetness, like Scandinavian licorice. At first, I was repulsed. Then dislike turned to craving. ... But it is Piper’s raw, comical performance as a not so smart woman on the verge that stands out.

Piper has a rare gift for eliciting sympathy, even as Pickles keeps making new mistakes in her effort to disguise the old ones. What emerges is a black-comedy-horror about female friendship, modern fame, and the impossibility of true privacy in a world where everyone has an online video camera in their pockets.

The first episode of I Hate Suzie was an effective exercise in seeing a person’s life fall apart around them in short order. But we’re really intrigued with seeing Piper’s interpretation of how Suzie tries to put the pieces back together.

Messy. But it’s a series that is also, occasionally, funny and revealing.

Self indulged and narcissistic - at least it lived up to the title. I Hate I Hate Suzie

Ugly people being ugly to one another. I never understood this kind of English humour - these unpleasant, uncomfortable, cringy situations that ... i just don't know who finds this funny. Or even any good. After the first episode, other than having to watch people fight, cheat, get embarrassed, get humiliated, nothing happens. You are supposed to connect to these characters? How? They are miserable people, treating what little grace they have like it's a joke. Well, it's not a funny joke. Sorry, but what I consider British wit and humour is the opposite of this hangover throw-up.
