Overview
- It Gets Worse, which premiered Friday, Nov. 6, on Paramount+, is a six-episode, roughly half-hour series created by and starring Leo Reich about three twenty-somethings in London forced to scatter when their shared lease ends.
- Reviewers praised the show's cast chemistry and emotional grounding while noting its blend of sharp, often sexually frank humor with sincere vulnerability.
- A Channel 4-released clip featuring Andrew Scott generated major online attention before the premiere by spotlighting the series' bold tone and explicit moments.
- The show is produced by A24 in partnership with Channel 4 in the U.K. and Crave in Canada and its placement on Paramount+ signals a transatlantic push for indie-style Gen Z comedies.
- Critics place It Gets Worse alongside recent messy-young-adult comedies like Girls for its diaristic voice and generational outlook, and early response suggests it could fuel more streaming interest in candid, confessional shows about young adulthood.
