TimeJudy BermanMar 8, 2024
Season 1 Review: There are no cloying Very Special Episodes to be found among this bingeable batch of six. In fact, the only real complaint I have about the first season is that it’s far too short. If ever a TV series could support an old-school, American broadcast order of 23 episodes, it would be this instant classic among teen dramas. Read full review

The Observer (UK)Barbara EllenSep 10, 2024
Season 1 Review: At times, Boarders tries far too hard to be the new, hedonism-fuelled Sex Education. Its assets lie in the smart cast, cracking pace (no mean feat with episodes coming in at around 50 minutes) and Taylor’s witty, surprising script. Roll on a second series. Read full review

DeciderJoel KellerMar 14, 2024
Season 1 Review: Does Boarders say anything new? That’s yet to be seen. But even if it treads well-worn ground, it does so in a way that’s witty and funny, with just enough drama to let the audience know that the stakes for these five teens are pretty high. Read full review

Rolling StoneAlan SepinwallMar 8, 2024
Season 1 Review: Boarders, though, consistently manages to both fit into the old tropes and reinvent the clichés to fit around these characters. It’s a real charmer. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Witty and sharp, “Boarders” gets to the heart of what it means to learn who you are when you’re being simultaneously ostracized and objectified. Read full review

The GuardianLeila LatifMar 4, 2024
Season 1 Review: It’s a fun, funny and complex coming-of-age story that encompasses all the mess and joy of youth, where few people ever really feel that they fit in. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Razor-sharp writing and great performances make the six episodes deliciously bingeable. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterDaniel FienbergMar 7, 2024
Season 1 Review: Boarders offers six episodes of solidly executed covers of the greatest hits. It’s consistently likable, occasionally clever and the young cast of relatively newcomers delivers across the board. Read full review

The TimesJames JacksonSep 11, 2024
Season 1 Review: The coming-of-age stuff (horny high jinks, puking at boozy parties) means this is unlikely to appeal much beyond the target audience. Yet there is an interesting underlying point running throughout. Read full review
