What kind of watch this is
It Gets Worse is a 2026 comedy about three college friends who get evicted in London and end up scattered across the city. They deal with dating disasters and the general chaos of being an adult, all while the world crumbles around them. Created by Leo Reich, the series stars him alongside Emily Fairn and Olive Gray. Each episode runs 25 minutes, and the single season of 6 episodes totals about 3 hours of viewing. That is a manageable amount of time to spend watching your friends fall apart.
What the critics said
Hannah J Davies gave The Guardian a 4/5, calling the series "truly funny" and noting that Reich’s "zinger filled" scripts were "often profound". Adam White in The Independent saw it differently, finding the show "over-written and over-familiar, paling in comparison to the shows that inspired it". The praise lands on the wit; the criticism lands on the source material. It is a rare case where the jokes are loved and the bones are not.
How it did with audiences
On TMDB, users give It Gets Worse a 4 out of 10. That is a specific kind of lukewarm, the sort of score reserved for things that were technically fine but spiritually exhausting. It suggests the audience watched the whole thing, waited for a punchline that never landed, and then left without shouting. The title, in retrospect, was less a spoiler and more a warning label.
