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.

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.

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.

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.
