action
All of the action takes place in Steve's mid-20s apartment. He spends a lot of time there with his girlfriend Becky. However, the two of them are repeatedly disturbed by their strange neighbor Dan. Becky's sister Laura also turns to Laura with her problems and thus also interrupts Steve and Becky's nice togetherness.
background
Russell Tovey and Sarah Solemani star in the series. Unlike other series, Him & Her does not focus so much on rare, dramatic stories such as divorce cases, deaths, deaths of children, etc. Rather, everyday stories are told here, such as E.g. a friend's jealousy when the partner's ex-girlfriend brings over an old DVD. The very last episode aired on December 19, 2013 on BBC Three. The series was released on DVD in the UK.

Reviews
Sam Wollaston, of the Guardian , thinks Him & Her is funny, sexy, a little rude, and very charming. He thinks Him & Her is one of the most beautiful shows on TV. Dan Martin praises Russell Tovey and Sarah Solemani . He finds the series extremely romantic and bizarrely moving.
Ellen E Jones of The Independent says that Kerry Howard perfectly portrays Laura, who is both hideous beyond imagination, but still recognizable in other people around her.
Bruce Dessau of Beyond the Joke thinks the actors are great and the script is excellent. Golaszewski had written very good pieces before, but here he outdid himself again.
According to Views from the Sofa, Him & Her is one of the best sitcoms on British television. The series lives completely off the characters who would make the series so well. The main couple is realistic and believable, the supporting characters each add a new element.
