High School

I only knew tangentially of tegan and sara before seeing this show. It doesn't matter towards your potential enjoyment whatsoever.

The scene-setting for me particularly (incredibly early-mid 90's pilled musically) was so fun to see. My high school experience was a decade after this show but It didn't feel far off at all.

The acting is quite good. The 2 leads are asked to be all sorts of things... snotty, sarcastic, infatuated, caring... and they do all of it well enough. The real heavy hitting will come towards the end of the season I'm assuming.

The Mother is a real breath of fresh air. She strikes a balance between "cool mom" and stern that you love to see.

Having 2 separate but conjoined queer stories at the helm of a coming of age show is something we need more of. Hopefully gone are the days of a "thrown in" queer story or even the stereotypical stuff with a "good heart". This feels very real.

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!

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.

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 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!
