‘Haven’t laughed so much in years’: “Outrageously funny” sitcom with “best” first ep now streaming

by

The 2010s comedy series Sideswiped is now available to stream in the UK. The show follows a busy 35-year-old as he tries out online dating.

Olivia, feeling lonely and unhappy, makes a bold decision: she’ll go on dates with every single one of her 252 Tinder matches. Luckily, she gets support from her mom, Mary, who is recently widowed, and her sister, Jayne, who is happily married.

UK viewers can now watch all eight episodes of the show on ITX, where it’s being described as hilariously funny.

I was totally hooked on this show! It only had one season on YouTube Premium, but everyone seemed to love it. I saw one review on IMDb that said it was ‘absolutely brilliant’ and that the reviewer hadn’t laughed that hard in years – I totally agree!

The story is captivating for everyone. We want to give a big shout-out to the talented team behind it – the writers, director, and actors – who truly brought this to life.

One viewer called the first episode the “best,” saying it was genuinely funny and immediately made them want to watch the entire series.

One viewer called the show a funny and realistic depiction of online dating, but expressed disappointment that it didn’t last very long.

It’s disappointing when good shows are cancelled prematurely, often because the network isn’t a good match and doesn’t properly support them. In this case, YouTube wasn’t the right platform for the show, and it didn’t receive the opportunity it deserved.

Carly Craig, known for her role in American Housewife, co-created and stars in this project. The cast also features Rosanna Arquette, who appeared in Presumed Innocent, and Chelsea Frei from The Paper.

Decider’s review highlighted the show’s three lead actors, calling them a fantastic comedic trio, though the show itself seems a little outdated.

In a review, IndieWire noted that despite the show’s loud and boisterous humor, Sideswiped possesses a hidden emotional depth, suggesting it could become genuinely touching.

Sideswiped is streaming now on ITVX.
