⭐⭐⭐½ (out of 5) Cheaters (2022) – Love, lies, and London flats: a romantic disaster in slow motion.
“Cheaters” begins exactly as its title suggests — with bad decisions and worse timing — but what starts as an affair quickly spirals into a surprisingly clever comedy of consequences. It’s a show about infidelity that somehow manages to be both funny and painfully honest, walking that fine line between awkward humour and emotional fallout.
The tone shifts beautifully: at first you’re shaking your head in disbelief, then laughing at the absurdity, and finally wincing as everything inevitably collapses. It’s messy, colourful, and sharp — like a romantic dramedy that forgot to filter its honesty. Despite its subject matter, it never leans too dark or too sweet; the world it builds feels flawed but recognisably human.
Compact in format and quick on its feet, Cheaters thrives on sharp dialogue and moral discomfort, giving you just enough comedy to soften the sting of its truths. It’s not about villains or heroes — just people who make choices, live with them, and sometimes wish they hadn’t.
A short, bittersweet watch that proves even chaos can be charming… right up until it isn’t.
