I Hate You is a comedy about best friends.
Two best friends in their 20s in fact. Viewers can meet Charlie, played by Tanya Reynolds and Becca, played by newcomer Melissa Saint. The episodes follow their intense, messy friendship in today’s intense, complicated world.
It’s about the one friend you can say anything to and do anything with: the idiotic in-jokes, and the laughing till you almost puke, as well as the insane bickering and late-night shouting matches. It’s about that one friend you really love – and really hate.
Charlie’s a bit of a worrier, who thinks 99% of humans are d*ckheads, and Becca – no embarrassment gene, usually makes the wrong decision. Together they share a flat that is half spotless (Becca’s room) and half ‘sh*ttery’ (Charlie’s room). Together they’re complete chaos…
The first series sees Charlie get arrested for pick-pocketing a police officer, Becca learns the perils of jogging to jazz, the girls meet a man who believes humans came from bears, and both start dating older guys – more specifically – men in their seventies. All this plus a Lord who keeps a fly as his pet.
“After working with Robert and the team at Big Talk on one of Channel 4’s biggest comedy successes – the beloved Friday Night Dinner it’s a genuine delight to get under way on I Hate You. With a superb comedy duo at the helm in Tanya and Melissa and Damon Beesley in the directors’ chair. It’s safe to say Channel 4 viewers are truly in for a treat.” – Fiona McDermott, Head of Comedy at Channel 4
I Hate You is produced by Big Talk and Popper Pictures.
