He was hesitant to complain about anything - he is extremely British in that way - but there’s passion behind the way he spoke about his work that those of us who love our comedies as hard as our dramas appreciate. Demetriou wrote this season through what one hopes will be known going forward as his adversity era: a pandemic, his father - already struggling with dementia - contracting COVID, and a serious case of writer’s block that lockdown did nothing to alleviate.ĭemetriou recently joined me over Zoom from his parents’ home in England, where he was caring for his mother as she recovered from a fall.
The pure silliness of the show belies how difficult it was to create.
The third season of his BAFTA-winning comedy Stath Lets Flats arrived on HBO Max on December 3 and is as funny and polished as ever, with Stath becoming a father for the first time as he struggles to save (or even just contribute meaningfully to) his father’s property-management business. Jamie Demetriou makes this look easy, even when it’s anything but.
