The Sex Lives of College Girls

It reminds me so much of sex education, not to bring up a debate on which is better because you should be able to like both shows but of course it's hard not to compare with similar titles. I'd say this is more like a sitcom version to sex education. Everything that happens in the show seems like a genuine representation of what happens in real life, but sometimes the dialogue seems short lived so you move on from it quickly, but that's understandable considering the runtime is only 30 minutes. I think it's a "surface show", despite addressing sensitive issues you can watch it without turning your brain on and have a laugh because it doesn't delve deeply into them.

Despite the bad things that happen or characters go through, it still keeps an optimistic vibe, like it's a happy show. Depressing feels like a strong word for this but it doesn't get depressing; it's not a show were the characters get sad then you get sad too. The characters are lovable, so is the soundtrack. My only problem, which isn't a big one, is it feels written, it doesn't get you immersed in the show, you don't get lost in it, like as you're watching the show you actually do know you're watching the show consciously and subconsciously, and usually shows like that don't leave a lasting impression. I've never been able to properly explain this but sometimes you'll thoroughly enjoy the show then forget about it until you hear a new season's coming out soon and get excited like oh that show, I loved that show.

Buttt it's very promising, it's the type of show that could become a fan favorite if it went on for 7+ seasons and still managed to be funny all the way, like a new era of sitcoms the way the 90's or early 2000's were, without trying to be an imitation or new version of them. Unfortunately, shows easily get canceled these days if they aren't doing crazy numbers so I hope it doesn't fall into the same fate.

They should have kept the show and get rid of the title, but instead in second season they decided to keep the tile and get rid of the show (writing) instead. I gave the first season 8/10 and felt that it was really well written but sadly misnamed show, that might end up making creators lives really hard in the future because the shows values and strong points obviously stood elsewhere then what the title promotes. The second season is 4/10. It happened. They are trying so hard to live up to the name that they forgot to write the show this time around - I guess they took the advice of the audiences who where stuck in the shows title and were left somewhat horny after first season?! The second season feels soulless and out of touch, but that's what you get when your dialogues are made of bullet points and headlines for the character. It sad that marketing killed this show.

I feel like the ppl leaving reviews aren't actual college girls right now lmao they seem very angry at this show for it's diversity. Either way it's funny and the conversations they have in the show, I've had like 75% of them in real life. Of course parts can feel a little SNL sketchy and not like real people, but I think that's just how Mindy and other comedians write. I am excited for the rest of the season. Waiting for the season to finish to see if it'll be above a 7.

As a current college student myself it's really nice to see tv show finally made about us rather than high schoolers. With that being said, is this show perfect, no but I very much enjoyed it nonetheless. The main issues I had were with dialogue that at times shows that this was a show written by millennial rather than gen z aged college kids; and the believability that this is a real college environment particularly in the wardrobe choices and even how the sorority recruitment went. But if you don't care about those things then this is a really fun show! The characters are flawed and relatable young adults and I was definitely watch the next season!

Liked the jokes and the chemistry. Id give it an 8 in terms of production quality. Was easily bingeable as only 22 mins per episode(from episode 2 onward) and theres end credits of a few mins giving 25 mins an episode. The pilot was longer at around 55 minutes.

The characters have great chemistry. Each character's lives is interesting. The structure is good. Its well filmed. High production quality. You are genuinely invested in the characters.

Standout character is definitely the indian girl, Bela, played by Amrit kaur. She is funny and steals every scene. The character is basically a sex-addict ironically coming from a conservative indian background. Indian audiences in the west will find this funny.
