This series (now in Season 2) grew out of the characters and situations from that movie. They hang, make videos, do drugs and skate around New York, sometimes dealing with the males that dominate the sport. It sounds like this might be aimed at a limited audience, but the genuine personalities they create (all non-pros) are fascinating (esp. Nina Moran as Kirt). The things going on in their lives aren’t especially unique, but the way they’re framed and the lively energy makes it fun.

Betty is a love letter to Girls and New York in a relevant way that shows like Girls and even Sex in the City never managed.

Every half hour leaves you wanting more and yet they manage to tackle important issues like the the #metoo movement and #Blacklivesmatter in a sensitive and accessible way. I challenge anyone to watch it and not want to hang out with Kirt, Camille, Janay, Honeybear etc. One of the shows of the year so far, an absolute joy to watch.… Expand

Season 1 was a good surprise, but the new one felt rushed and unnecessary. Skating was not important anymore; instead, they decided to tackle all those social issues. Talking about Black Lives Matter, Me Too, sugar babies, polyamory, andSeason 1 was a good surprise, but the new one felt rushed and unnecessary. Skating was not important anymore; instead, they decided to tackle all those social issues. Talking about Black Lives Matter, Me Too, sugar babies, polyamory, and teenage angst in just six episodes, all at once, made the season look overstuffed and clumsy.… Expand

Yet another show that could have been so much more but all the not especially good writen in social justice platitudes feel shallow and tacked in
