    Beautiful show full of heart, attitude and gorgeous photography. While the themes and overarching story are quite light and addressed to teens, they still carry powerful messages. This 39yo man and his wife loved it. Oh how I wished this type of TV existed when me and my friends were kids... Particularly helpful for girls at that age. How helpful would it have been to see all theseBeautiful show full of heart, attitude and gorgeous photography.

How helpful would it have been to see all these positive messages about friendship, love, understanding, empathy and care for your loved ones and for minorities and fringe groups. Bravo.… Expand

    Really enjoyable escape. This took me back to my youth and reminded of what it was like growing up in a big city, going on sometimes reckless adventures, and coming up with schemes to get out of trouble whenever things went sideways.

    The elevated aesthetics of skate vids permeate “Betty,” elevated by the saturated hues of a sweaty New York summer and technicolor scenester fashion. The perfectly curated music choices add to overall alluring vibe of the show. It’s unfortunate that “Betty” is mostly style over substance, especially when the style is this valid.

    “Betty” may be imperfect, but it is incredibly refreshing in its girl power politics.

    The improvised scenes are where the show crackles with energy, even if old farts like us can’t understand 100% of the skaters’ lingo. ... Also, the energy among the five stars is palpable, given the history that they’ve had in the past few years. When the group splits up, things get more stilted.
