Per HBO Max, the synopsis reads: Suzie Pickles (Billie Piper), a star on the wane, has her whole life upended when her phone is hacked and a photo of her in an extremely compromising position is released for the whole world to see. This excruciatingly honest show follows the various stages of Suzie’s trauma episode by episode, through Shock, Denial, Fear, Shame, Bargaining, Guilt, Anger and Acceptance as Suzie and her best friend and manager Naomi try to hold her life, career, and marriage together in the face of being exposed for who she truly is. But who the hell even is that?
Each episode of the show follows its hapless protagonist as she works through her shock, anger, and eventual acceptance of the situation while working to keep her career and life together. All eight episodes of “I Hate Suzie” will premiere on HBO Max on Thursday, November 19. The show first premiered on Sky Atlantic on August 27.
