Boston HeraldSarah RodmanAug 7, 2014
Season 1 Review: Depending on your memories of high school, ABC's new drama... is either one of the most honest or most troubling small-screen depictions of teen angst. [7 Oct 2004]

Season 1 Review: The cast is appealing and the freeze-frame camera tricks mostly are inventive instead of intrusive. [7 Oct 2004]

Detroit Free PressMike DuffyAug 7, 2014
Season 1 Review: Despite its almost giddily provocative tone and the hanky-panky tunnel vision of its teenage protagonists, "life as we know it" displays some real promise with refreshing twists of wit, imagination and an offbeat style. [7 Oct 2004]

Season 1 Review: A try at a male "My So-Called Life," with a heaping helping of "Dawson's Creek" on top. [7 Oct 2004]

Season 1 Review: I was resistant to "life as we know it" at first, but it won me over (or wore me down). What seems prurience for prurience's sake turns out to be a good bit richer, kind of like "My So- Called Sex Life." [7 Oct 2004]

Season 1 Review: There are some bumpy spots in the first two episodes, but "Life" is worth sampling. [7 Oct 2004]
