The show isn’t exactly breaking new ground in terms of its romantic and identity-based storylines, but it approaches each girl’s predicaments with a tangible amount of love and understanding. Read full 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

Warm, observant and often gleefully raunchy show. Read full 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

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

The mashup of R-rated jokes, thrilling sexual adventures and feel-good friendship stories that generally defines “The Sex Lives of College Girls” works for Leighton, Bela, and Kimberly. Where it falls short is with Whitney. Read full 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

The show is so good, I'm wondering why the public rate is so low, some people need intervention

Mindy Kaling is as stunning and brave off the camera as she is on it! Her comedy makes me smile and she reminds me to check my privilege. That's what it's all about!

Couldn’t get through 15 minutes of it. It was like watching an American Pie rip off- and American Pie was bad
