Production

Conception

Following their collaboration on Secret Diary of a Call Girl and The Effect, Prebble and Piper developed a close friendship. [5] Piper expressed interest to Prebble in working together on another project. [6] The inspiration for the story came from the frequent correspondence between the two, who would share their struggles of identity and womanhood. [5] Prebble came up with the idea for a story centered around a phone hack. [6] She structured the story around an idea of "eight stages of trauma or grief", a take on the five stages of grief, with each episode focusing on one of the stages. [6] Each episode was created to have the feel of a standalone mini-film. [6]

Filming

Interior scenes for I Hate Suzie were filmed entirely on location in and around London. Some exterior scenes were shot on-location at Park Avenue and Mimms Hall Road in the town Potters Bar, Hertfordshire. [7] For the episode "Denial", scenes featuring Suzie and Naomi at a sci-fi convention were filmed at the ExCeL London during the MCM London Comic Con in October 2019. [8]

Music

The musical score to I Hate Suzie was composed by Johnny Lloyd and Nathan Coen, who previously worked with Piper on her directorial debut Rare Beasts . [9] "Before we even knew what the series was gonna look like, we were already kind of pulling together ideas and sending them to Lucy [Prebble] while she was writing it," Coen said. [9] Lloyd described the process of scoring as "challenging" to create continuity and embody different emotions each episode. [9]

Broadcast

I Hate Suzie premiered on Sky Atlantic on 27 August 2020, with all episodes made available to watch on Sky's NOW TV subscription service that same day. [10] The following day, it was made available in Australia on the streaming service Stan. [11] In October 2020, the show was acquired for American audiences by HBO Max. The series had its US television debut on HBO Max on 19 November. [12] In Latin America the series premiered on 7 November 2020 on Warner TV. On 9 September 2021, it was made available in Brazil on the streaming service Globoplay. [13]

Critical reception

Piper's performance was praised by critics. 2019-03-03 12-08-27 ILCE-6500 DSC00356 (32362310437).jpg
Piper's performance was praised by critics.

I Hate Suzie was acclaimed by television critics, who praised the writing and Piper's performance. [17] The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported an approval rating of 95% with an average score of 8.1/10, based on 37 reviews. The website's critical consensus reads, "Gazing into the eye of the celebrity storm with frenzied style, I Hate Suzie is a ruthless satire on stardom that is effortlessly carried by Billie Piper's manic performance." [18] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the first season a score of 85 out of 100 based on 11 critics, indicating "Universal acclaim". [19]

Writing for The Telegraph , Chris Bennion gave the show 5 out of 5 stars, stating "I Hate Suzie is a glorious mess of ideas, a potent, fizzing monument to the creativity of its makers." [20] Lucy Mangan of The Guardian praised the collaboration between Prebble and Piper, calling the show a "wild ride that feels like an absolute gift." [21] Kristen Baldwin in her review for Entertainment Weekly gave the series an "A" rating, calling it a "bloody brilliant exploration of modern womanhood" that "tells a wholly unique story about the liberation that comes from total exposure." [22]

Sonia Saraiya of Vanity Fair wrote, "I Hate Suzie is a masterclass in tone... a portrait of vulnerability that bewitches not by prettifying itself, or making itself ugly, but instead with stark, unfiltered honesty." [23] Ed Cumming of The Independent wrote, "Piper has a rare gift for eliciting sympathy... [w]hat 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." [24]

In a more critical review, Allison Keene of Paste deemed the series "messy, ambitious, chic, yet ultimately a little shallow and out of focus." [25] However, she reserved praise for Piper's acting, calling her performance "astonishingly open". [25] Matt Walsh of TV Guide wrote: "You might squirm but will never hate the excellent Piper, as Suzie careens from self-pity to self-disgust in a surreal blur of debauched despair." [26] Writing for Decider, Joel Keller found the first episode to be "an effective exercise in seeing a person's life fall apart around them in short order" but was more "intrigued with seeing Piper's interpretation of how Suzie tries to put the pieces back together." [27]
