Season 2 Review: While there’s a lot going on in the second season of My Life With The Walter Boys, we’re still on board with the Jackie-Alex-Cole triangle, and are now intrigued by some of the side stories, as well. Read full review

Season 1 Review: In many ways, My Life With The Walter Boys is typical teen romance fare. But it’s pleasant enough, and Nikki Rodriguez’ lead performance is compelling enough, to keep us watching. Read full review

Season 1 Review: My Life with the Walter Boys is a perfectly pleasant binge-watch with several solid breakthrough performances and some delightful turns from more seasoned actors. Read full review

Season 2 Review: One can’t help but wish there was more variety in the storylines it chooses to showcase, as the love triangles quickly get redundant and predictable, and a disappointing lack of progress is made with the main trio. Still, there’s sweet, inoffensive fun to be had with My Life With the Walter Boys’ community shenanigans, soapy teen crises, and supportive family unit. Read full review

Season 1 Review: While hanging out with the Walters brood might not be especially original, there are few more tried-and-true formulas than the combination of scenic wide-open spaces and turning young love/romance into a “team” sport. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterAngie HanDec 7, 2023
Season 1 Review: My Life With the Walter Boys aims for nothing more or less than to deliver cozy familiarity, and on a superficial level it hits that mark passably enough. .... It’s just that I couldn’t feel much in the way of warm fuzzies from a show whose characters so frequently left me cold. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Unfortunately, generic storylines, a massive cast and puzzling choices from the adults and teens alike make for a middling tale. Read full review

The A.V. ClubMeredith Hobbs CoonsDec 7, 2023
Season 1 Review: There are harmful behaviors in this that are never questioned at all, and it’s also not sweet, fun, or funny enough to hold its own against better shows. Frankly, we think we might prefer our life without the Walter Boys. Read full review
