High School

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 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!

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!

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.

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!
