High School

Was super excited to watch as tegan and Sara is my favorite band. I absolutely loved it, I think everyone involved did a wonderful job. For one, It's genius rhey used song titles for each episode. I've seen so many queer stories shown on TV, and this one is one of the best I've ever seen. While it does deal with serious topics, there's also funny bits mixed in which is good. This is a show so many people can enjoy. Lgbtq+ kids. People who grew up in the 90's. People who are really into music. Tegan and Sara fans. I really really hope this show does well and continues to get more seasons. I also hope more people start listening to tegan and Sara after watching the show, because I absolutely love their music.

I relate to a lot of this show, except the fact that I'm a straight male who never became an accomplished musician. Other than that, I love how much of my childhood this reflects. The music, the way relationships played out in the 90s, the broken home... It's done perfectly. The whole atmosphere encapsulates the period so well but that's not all that's good about this.

The acting (especially from The two leads who technically aren't "actors") is phenomenal. The 90s was a unique decade and It always amazes me when younger people (who weren't even nearly alive in the 90s) are able to tap into the attitude of the era and understand what made my generation, what it was and how we lived on the run up to a technical revolution. It was almost dystopian in some ways and it's incredible how this show captures that in every way.

It says so much by saying so little and I appreciate it for what it is. Didn't think I would like it very much as I didn't think I'd relate to any of it but I gave it a chance and I'm glad I did.

Looking forward to more.

I loved this show! I thought it was amazing in every way and the actors playing Tegan and Sara were phenomenal. I didn't expect a cheesy drama as I was previously familiar with the memoir but I wasn't expecting it to become one of my favourite shows. There isn't one boring episode this whole season. As someone who is in high school, it's an accurate portrayal of what it's like. I loved how it switches point of view of the characters and not just from Tegan and Sara but to characters like Patrick and Simone. I like how it validates the feelings of teenagers and doesn't belittle them in any way. 100% recommend!

I quite thoroughly enjoyed this! Wasn't expecting much given kinda cheesy high schooly tv show trailer but ended up really liking it! I wasn't previously familiar with the artists/book but I saw an article talking about Clea DuVall was working on a new show (very intriguing) only to realize it had just come out! And I was so definitely not disappointed. 90s setting was great loved the costumes and makeup. Loved the different perspectives and cast of characters. Everyones acting was surprisingly good too I thought! It was exactly the kind of show I've been in the mood for, easy to watch but not too light/no substance, well made and got some heart in it, got some good lesbian representation YAY. I've been really longing for more of a certain kind recently and this hit the spot. Overall, they did a great job of roping you in and keeping you interested. I only wish the season was longer and definitely hoping for more soon! I binged very fast though so more please!

Binged the first 8 episodes this evening.

It is an interesting show, and not just full of fluffy high school nostalgia. This mischaracterized as "Comedy" when it should really be "Drama". People have problems, not everyone is totally happy about everything, and not everything is fixed the way you might hope. Not the standard "there is an issue and it will be solved by the end of the episode" drama. There are definitely good things that happen, not to worry.

Since this is an autobiographical story of Tegan and Sara, it moves along at a realistic pace. I like the fact that a story like this can be made and has an audience, even if it might not be what some people expect.

The soundtrack is definitely top-notch, lots of great tunes in there.
