A warning: those who are susceptible to throwing slippers at their TV screens should not watch Alice & Jack. And no, I didn’t consider myself among their number until I finished the second episode, but maybe this show has converted me into a footwear-flinger.
The new six-part miniseries from Channel 4 bills itself as a love story, following Alice and Jack (Andrea Riseborough and Domhnall Gleeson) over the course of 15 years as they’re drawn together and fall apart, over and over.
