Series Brief

Overview

Friday night. 7pm. Film Club Week 198. Evie hasn't left the house in six months after a 'wobble', and Film Club is her escape. A weekly chance to create a world of wonder, deck the garage out in whatever the movie calls for and spend a few uninterrupted hours with Noa - her best friend and one of the few mates who still shows up. But tonight, things are different. Noa's got big news. A dream job is taking him across the other side of the country, which means that all of this is ending.

Critical Reception

What critics are saying

Score 83 /100

Critics largely embraced Film Club, celebrating the six-part romantic comedy co-created by Aimee Lou Wood and Ralph Davis. Reviewers praised its sweet, nerdy charm and intelligent writing, highlighting how effectively it explores unspoken romantic feelings, friendship, and comforting cultural touchstones. Lead actors Aimee Lou Wood and Nabhaan Rizwan received widespread acclaim for their endearing dynamic and on-screen chemistry.

Many outlets characterized the series as a cozy, heartwarming watch capable of lifting viewers' spirits despite addressing heavier themes of mental health and isolation. Critics commended the show's quirky, well-observed sensibility, noting that it manages to remain grounded and charming thanks to a deep bench of colorful supporting characters.

While reception was overwhelmingly positive, a few reviewers offered mild critiques. Some noted that the series occasionally gets untangled in its various subplots or leans into sentimentality rather than fully digging into the protagonist's underlying distress. Nevertheless, consensus remains that it is a delightfully warm and thoughtful comedy well worth watching.

“Cute and deeply intelligent comedy about two film buff friends with unspoken feelings.”

“Heartwarmingly relatable and funny”

“A cosy, easy watch, but it could be more if it leaned more into the comedy and got untangled from its many subplots.”

“Quirky without being insufferable, helped by a deep bench of enjoyably colourful supporting players.”

Where to Watch

Why fans love it

The appeal sits squarely in the sanctuary of a weekly ritual. Evie has spent six months inside following a wobble, transforming a humble garage into an escape every Friday at seven. Across nearly two hundred sessions, Film Club has served as her creative lifeline alongside Noa, the loyal best friend who reliably shows up to share the space. Balancing comedy with quiet drama, the setup treats this makeshift screening room not merely as a refuge from the outside world, but as the private stage for their bond.

That comfortable dynamic gains sudden friction when Noa reveals his news: a dream job across the country will soon bring their routine to an end. The story balances lighthearted romance with the excited, nervous tension that surfaces when a safe haven is threatened by real-world change. Featuring Aimee Lou Wood in the cast, the series zeroes in on love and enduring friendship at an unavoidable crossroads, finding genuine humor and heart in the panic of having to finally move forward.
