Escuela secundaria

So far it's a great portrayal of what it means to be a teenager trying to figure yourself out. I really appreciated the nuanced and heartfelt look at each sister and the rest of the characters as they are forging their own paths. A very accurate but not overdramatized depiction of teenage years.

The 90s vibes and music are immaculate. And the relationships feel authentic. The show does a great job establishing Tegan and Sara both as separate characters but fully cringing the viewer into their tense relationship with each other and their individual arcs.

Plus got to love the subtle nod to the episode titles being songs from their 20+ year career!

I loved this show! I thought it was amazing in every way and the actors playing Tegan and Sara were phenomenal. I didn't expect a cheesy drama as I was previously familiar with the memoir but I wasn't expecting it to become one of my favourite shows. There isn't one boring episode this whole season. As someone who is in high school, it's an accurate portrayal of what it's like. I loved how it switches point of view of the characters and not just from Tegan and Sara but to characters like Patrick and Simone. I like how it validates the feelings of teenagers and doesn't belittle them in any way. 100% recommend!

Such a great show! It's so cool to see this written memoir come alive on-screen. Railey and Seazynn do a great job. This is the show I needed growing up, to see a reflection of myself at that age. I definitely think the episodes could be longer! This is a show that you hope has longer seasons because it's so engaging. Enjoyable for any viewer, whether it's your first time hearing about Tegan and Sara, or you're a stan. I can't wait to hear their music on the show. The soundtrack they have with each episode really sets the scene. The wardrobe department did a great job - definitely sets the time of the 90's.

I quite thoroughly enjoyed this! Wasn't expecting much given kinda cheesy high schooly tv show trailer but ended up really liking it! I wasn't previously familiar with the artists/book but I saw an article talking about Clea DuVall was working on a new show (very intriguing) only to realize it had just come out! And I was so definitely not disappointed. 90s setting was great loved the costumes and makeup. Loved the different perspectives and cast of characters. Everyones acting was surprisingly good too I thought! It was exactly the kind of show I've been in the mood for, easy to watch but not too light/no substance, well made and got some heart in it, got some good lesbian representation YAY. I've been really longing for more of a certain kind recently and this hit the spot. Overall, they did a great job of roping you in and keeping you interested. I only wish the season was longer and definitely hoping for more soon! I binged very fast though so more please!

Binged the first 8 episodes this evening.

It is an interesting show, and not just full of fluffy high school nostalgia. This mischaracterized as "Comedy" when it should really be "Drama". People have problems, not everyone is totally happy about everything, and not everything is fixed the way you might hope. Not the standard "there is an issue and it will be solved by the end of the episode" drama. There are definitely good things that happen, not to worry.

Since this is an autobiographical story of Tegan and Sara, it moves along at a realistic pace. I like the fact that a story like this can be made and has an audience, even if it might not be what some people expect.

The soundtrack is definitely top-notch, lots of great tunes in there.
