Despite its charms, “Sex Lives” can feel like a show that’s about 10 years past its prime. ... If you can accept its anachronisms, the show has its moments — especially when it homes in on the relationships among the four roommates.
-
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.
-
Mistakes and blinkered missteps are enthusiastically played out alongside more successful attempts at college life and it captures that sometimes precarious euphoria of finally making your way without parental supervision, hyped up on potential and hormones.
-
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.
-
Mindy Kaling’s knack for creating three-dimensional characters makes The Sex Lives Of College Girls a funny and addictive show, despite the fact that there’s really no new ground being broken by its premise or characters.
-
Well-made and propulsive.
-
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.
-
After some initial hurdles, “Sex Lives” does pick up steam to become an engaging show, albeit one that still has significant room for growth.
-
All of this is played sincerely, but with healthy servings of slapstick and character comedy.
-
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.
-
The way the show tackles how teens cope with sudden freedom is both funny and truthful. ... This coming-of-age story is a joyride.
-
Like college, the series can be a bumpy ride, but offers enough promise to transcend its freshman offering.
-
For the most part, The Sex Lives of College Girls feels like the TV equivalent of dorm-room pizza: nothing novel or fancy, perhaps, but warm and gooey enough to satisfy.
-
As formulaic as the series’ writing can be (with typical liberal fodder, such as jokes about being triggered and complaints about the Brett Kavanaugh hearings), its ensemble hits the required comedic beats.
-
Warm, observant and often gleefully raunchy show.
-
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.
-
This is also the kind of show where pretty much every cast member feels like a find, and where the natural chemistry among the central foursome adds to the series’s easygoing appeal.
