The GuardianRachel AroestiJan 21, 2025
Season 5 Review: Bump is now free to become something akin to a genuinely funny, satisfyingly realistic, and surprisingly cool soap opera. The latter quality is partly a result of the show’s distinctively Aussie vibe. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The real-life magazine plotline quickly gives way to a story about how a baby disrupts and enriches the lives of its parents, no matter their age or situation, and how family can draw very different sets of people together. Read full review

Season 1 Review: It treats Oly’s surprise pregnancy as a fact of this girl’s life, and it will be interesting to find out how she manages being a mother and an overachieving student. Read full review

The A.V. ClubMary Kate CarrAug 8, 2022
Season 1 Review: The series never recaptures the emotional gut-punch of the unwitting young mother having this huge, unwanted change foisted upon her in the first episode. This is ultimately the story of a teenager who decides to choose motherhood. And unfortunately, to tell it another way would not be in service of that story. Read full review
