Critics Reviews

Megan McCluskey TIME Magazine A poignant coming-of-age comedy that hits all the right nostalgia notes for those who endured the trials of adolescence in the early 2000s. Jun 2, 2023 Full Review Suzi Feay Financial Times Konkle and Erskine maintain a deliciously kooky chemistry even when - especially when - the handling of the subject matter induces cringing. Rated: 4/5 Mar 30, 2020 Full Review John Doyle Globe and Mail Rarely has the maddening insecurities of being a teenager been so ably mocked but utterly understood with sympathy. Jul 22, 2019 Full Review Samit Sarkar Polygon PEN15 is a pitch-perfect nostalgia trip for Old Millennials like us, with its dial-up modems, bubblegum pop, and frosted lip gloss. Oct 8, 2020 Full Review Adam Sweeting The Arts Desk This ingenious show views innocence thorough the prism of experience, and does it with real soul. Rated: 4/5 Apr 1, 2020 Full Review Emma Specter Vogue A near-perfect first season... Sep 24, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Reviews

Chi C Unique concept for a coming of age story, but perhaps the best of its kind. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/25/24 Full Review Rachel Hilarious! They were so awkward and you just felt for them :D Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/24 Full Review Ally Moore J My season 1 rating: 4/5, for mostly the hilarity of it. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/12/23 Full Review Matthew F Hilarious and heartfelt show about two outcast teenage girls that depend on each other to stay sane in the crazy world that is adolescence. It's so much silly fun. The disinformation they have about sex education and life in general is put at the center of the comedy. You can laugh hard at you are because we've all been there. Hound, insecure, and uniformed…. But just wanting to be accepted and loved. So much fun with a heartfelt chewy center. A must show. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/08/23 Full Review Gareth v Original, honest, disturbing, touching, hilarious but it's ability to be relatable is it's greatest strength. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/24/23 Full Review hector g Idk babe, but it makes you laugh.
