Season 1 Review:
A glossy, bighearted show that’s less soapy than the original series but delivers enough secrets, sex, and secret sex to keep the stakes high. ... Because there’s no central hangout (RIP The Planet) and the two groups of peers mostly overlap in the workplace, Generation Q lacks the intimacy of The L Word, which owed much of its magic to intraclique chemistry and conflict. The new series feels like a collection of individual stories about generally likable people.

Season 2 Review:
Season 2 sticks to its usual formula. That’s not a terrible thing: This show’s cultural significance cannot be understated, and it offers comfort food to an entire underrepresented community. But it’s not a net positive, either, as these characters continue to spin their wheels, offering plenty in the way of histrionics with consistently scant development.

Season 1 Review:
The updated “L Word,” it seems, is less concerned with being radical than it is with being inoffensive. “Generation Q” is not without its pleasures—the story lines, in keeping with tradition, are nice and preposterous, and there’s a nostalgic comfort in watching long-dormant characters misbehave again.

Season 1 Review:
New showrunner Marja-Lewis Ryan (The Four-Faced Liar) struggles to balance such a big cast; Micah and Sophie don’t quite come into focus in the three episodes sent for review. What’s more worrisome in the long run is that, despite their proximity, these two cohorts can feel like they’re in parallel shows. ... The result is a more serious drama shoehorned into an aspirational soap.
