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 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.

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.

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.

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!
