High School

Was super excited to watch as tegan and Sara is my favorite band. I absolutely loved it, I think everyone involved did a wonderful job. For one, It's genius rhey used song titles for each episode. I've seen so many queer stories shown on TV, and this one is one of the best I've ever seen. While it does deal with serious topics, there's also funny bits mixed in which is good. This is a show so many people can enjoy. Lgbtq+ kids. People who grew up in the 90's. People who are really into music. Tegan and Sara fans. I really really hope this show does well and continues to get more seasons. I also hope more people start listening to tegan and Sara after watching the show, because I absolutely love their music.

I relate to a lot of this show, except the fact that I'm a straight male who never became an accomplished musician. Other than that, I love how much of my childhood this reflects. The music, the way relationships played out in the 90s, the broken home... It's done perfectly. The whole atmosphere encapsulates the period so well but that's not all that's good about this.

The acting (especially from The two leads who technically aren't "actors") is phenomenal. The 90s was a unique decade and It always amazes me when younger people (who weren't even nearly alive in the 90s) are able to tap into the attitude of the era and understand what made my generation, what it was and how we lived on the run up to a technical revolution. It was almost dystopian in some ways and it's incredible how this show captures that in every way.

It says so much by saying so little and I appreciate it for what it is. Didn't think I would like it very much as I didn't think I'd relate to any of it but I gave it a chance and I'm glad I did.

Looking forward to more.

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!

When the book first came out, I fell in love with it immediately. I read it over and over. Being a queer teenager, I found comfort in their story. This book has gotten me through my own adventures in high school and never leaves my side. When I first heard the idea that it might turn into a TV show, I was excited but also very worried the show wouldn't be nearly as a great of a representation of T&S' origin story as the book, as it wasn't made by T&S themselves. And I got even more worried when I found out the actors playing T&S weren't actually actors. I thought that it would maybe be a hard watch, but I was most definitely proven wrong. Clea, Railey, Seazynn and everyone else involved with the show did an absolutely phenomenal job bringing T&S' origin story to life. The first episode was a great introduction to who T&S are. I really enjoyed how the second episode spent time focusing on their mom and her struggles. The change of perspective throughout was very well done and the show did a really good job letting you know who the characters are. Even if you're not a fan of T&S and go in to this not knowing it's a real story about real people, it's still going to be an enjoyable watch. The show does an amazing job representing what it's like to be a queer teen trying to navigate life. I am beyond excited for the next four episodes.

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.
