I Hate Suzie (stylised as I HATE SUZIE.) is a British dark comedy-drama television series created by Lucy Prebble and Billie Piper. It was produced by Bad Wolf in association with Sky Studios. All episodes were written by Prebble and most were directed by Georgi Banks-Davies while the second season was directed by Dawn Shadforth.
The show marks the third collaboration between Prebble and Piper, who previously worked together on Secret Diary of a Call Girl (2007–2011) and The Effect (2012). I Hate Suzie follows the life of actress Suzie Pickles (Piper) whose life is thrown into turmoil when her phone is hacked and compromising photographs of her are leaked.

Production
=Conception=
Following their collaboration on Secret Diary of a Call Girl and The Effect, Prebble and Piper developed a close friendship.{{cite web|last=Wally|first=Maxine|date=25 November 2020|title=I Hate Suzie Creators Lucy Prebble and Billie Piper Never Wanted You to Love Suzie Pickles|url=https://www.wmagazine.com/story/i-hate-suzie-creators-lucy-prebble-billie-piper/|publisher=W|access-date=23 December 2020}} Piper expressed interest to Prebble in working together on another project.{{cite web|last=Miller|first=Liz Shannon|date=20 November 2020|title=How Billie Piper Is Taking Control of Her (Very Relatable) Story with HBO Max's 'I Hate Suzie'|url=https://collider.com/billie-piper-interview-i-hate-suzie-hbo-max-doctor-who/|publisher=Collider|access-date=20 December 2020}} The inspiration for the story came from the frequent correspondence between the two, who would share their struggles of identity and womanhood. Prebble came up with the idea for a story centered around a phone hack. She structured the story around an idea of "eight stages of trauma or grief", a take on the five stages of grief, with each episode focusing on one of the stages. Each episode was created to have the feel of a standalone mini-film.
=Filming=
Interior scenes for I Hate Suzie were filmed entirely on location in and around London. Some exterior scenes were shot on-location at Park Avenue and Mimms Hall Road in the town Potters Bar, Hertfordshire.{{cite web|last=Smith|first=Matthew|date=15 August 2020|title=Hertfordshire town Potters Bar to appear in I Hate Suzie, Billie Piper's new Sky TV series|url=https://www.hertfordshiremercury.co.uk/news/hertfordshire-news/billie-piper-sky-tv-show-4426310|publisher=Hertfordshire Mercury|access-date=20 December 2020}} For the episode "Denial", scenes featuring Suzie and Naomi at a sci-fi convention were filmed at the ExCeL London during the MCM London Comic Con in October 2019.{{cite web|date=25 October 2019|title=First Look: Billie Piper Films Scene For TV Series 'I Hate Suzie' At London Comic Con|url=https://www.bbcamerica.com/blogs/first-look-billie-piper-films-scene-for-tv-series-i-hate-suzie-at-london-comic-con--17636|publisher=BBC America|access-date=21 December 2020}}
=Music=
The musical score to I Hate Suzie was composed by Johnny Lloyd and Nathan Coen, who previously worked with Piper on her directorial debut Rare Beasts.{{cite web|last=Brown|first=Lillian|date=5 December 2020|title=How the Composers of 'I Hate Suzie' Crafted the Show's Catchy, Faux-Viral Songs|url=https://observer.com/2020/12/i-hate-suzie-hbo-max-suzies-song-backstory/|publisher=The Observer|access-date=16 December 2020}} "Before we even knew what the series was gonna look like, we were already kind of pulling together ideas and sending them to Lucy [Prebble] while she was writing it," Coen said. Lloyd described the process of scoring as "challenging" to create continuity and embody different emotions each episode.

Sonia Saraiya of Vanity Fair wrote, "I Hate Suzie is a masterclass in tone... a portrait of vulnerability that bewitches not by prettifying itself, or making itself ugly, but instead with stark, unfiltered honesty."{{cite web|last=Saraiya|first=Sonia|date=19 November 2020|title=Sharp and Funny, I Hate Suzie Brings Us on an Eight-Episode Meltdown|url=https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2020/11/i-hate-suzie-hbo-max-review|publisher=Vanity Fair|access-date=20 December 2020}} Ed Cumming of The Independent wrote, "Piper has a rare gift for eliciting sympathy...

In a more critical review, Allison Keene of Paste deemed the series "messy, ambitious, chic, yet ultimately a little shallow and out of focus."{{cite web|last=Keene|first=Allison|date=18 November 2020|title=I Hate Suzie: Billie Piper Shines in an Ambitious but Messy Series|url=https://www.pastemagazine.com/tv/hbo-max/i-hate-suzie-review-billie-piper/|publisher=Paste|access-date=20 December 2020|archive-date=20 October 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221020185522/https://www.pastemagazine.com/tv/hbo-max/i-hate-suzie-review-billie-piper/|url-status=dead}} However, she reserved praise for Piper's acting, calling her performance "astonishingly open". Matt Walsh of TV Guide wrote: "You might squirm but will never hate the excellent Piper, as Suzie careens from self-pity to self-disgust in a surreal blur of debauched despair."{{cite magazine|last=Walsh|first=Matt|date=23 November 2020|title=I Hate Suzie review|url=https://www.metacritic.com/tv/i-hate-suzie/critic-reviews|magazine=TV Guide Magazine|page=11|publisher=NTVB Media|access-date=20 December 2020}} Writing for Decider, Joel Keller found the first episode to be "an effective exercise in seeing a person's life fall apart around them in short order" but was more "intrigued with seeing Piper's interpretation of how Suzie tries to put the pieces back together."{{cite web|last=Keller|first=Joel|date=19 November 2020|title=Stream It Or Skip It: 'I Hate Suzie' On HBO Max|url=https://decider.com/2020/11/19/i-hate-suzie-hbo-max-review/|publisher=Decider|access-date=20 December 2020}}
