Season 2 Review: There is less Willow (Renika Williams), so far, than last time, which is a great sadness. But the rest are all present, correct and adding to the general sense of a show bursting with good things: talent, energy and wit to burn. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The way the show tackles how teens cope with sudden freedom is both funny and truthful. ... This coming-of-age story is a joyride. Read full review

Season 2 Review: The series avoids a sophomore slump because co-creators Mindy Kaling and Justin Noble embrace the qualities that made the show successful. Chief among them is the connection between the leads. Read full review

Season 1 Review: HBO has a storied history with female quartets, from "Sex and the City" to "Girls." Yet The Sex Lives of College Girls carves out its own niche with a distinct voice and plenty of very funny material, capturing four young women from diverse backgrounds thrown together as roommates while coming of age as first-year college students.

Season 1 Review: Mostly, though, this is a terrific vehicle for Kaur, Chanelle, Rapp and Chalamet to demonstrate their comedic and dramatic talents. They work beautifully together and have a natural rhythm, even when the dialogue seems almost too perfectly written. Read full review

Season 1 Review: After some initial hurdles, “Sex Lives” does pick up steam to become an engaging show, albeit one that still has significant room for growth. Read full review

Season 1 Review: We've seen better depictions of college misadventures, and while most aren't as realistically inclusive as this one, neither are their mechanics as obvious. Read full review

There’s definitely some funny and interesting content here, but, does nearly every product by Hollywood now have to be mired in cookie-cutter identity politics? In case you missed it from Star Trek discovery, Marvel 4th phase, Star wars reboots, etc: white, straight males = bad; non-white,There’s definitely some funny and interesting content here, but, does nearly every product by Hollywood now have to be mired in cookie-cutter identity politics? In case you missed it from Star Trek discovery, Marvel 4th phase, Star wars reboots, etc: white, straight males = bad; non-white, non-straight, non-cis = good. It’s getting tiring and predictable, not to mention, alienating half the fan base right off the bat. I powered thru the whole first season just so I knew what it was all about, but I won’t be returning for another.… Expand

Very predictable and not really laugh-out-loud funny at all. Every character feels like a cartoon and the show feels more like a dramedy smashed with SNL skits than an actual comedy show you'd watch episodes of
