I can see why some feel a season 2 wasn't necessary. The story could have ended with season 1. But, there was a great deal for the characters to unpack and resolve! It was art imitating life because central characters Madeline and Celeste got on my nerve because in reality, I can't stand self-absorbed people who have no discretion to openly talk about Ziggy's situation any where near a precocious kid, or Nicole falling apart with so much at stake, but is what had me to binge watch in two sittings, GREAT ACTING AND CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT!

It was never boring, I appreciate dialogue and flushed out emotions and revelations! Didn't give it 10 stars because the characters were real life-like. If there is a Season 3, I will be watching, they left that door open! Laura Dern's character (love, love, loved) should have a comeback story, since her situation is not uncommon! Zoe did a fine job, as did Shailene, the entire cast (kids included) earned a season 3!

I was totally captivated by this mini-series. The opening scene sealed the deal. The -production- values were off the charts! Here's a story that has been told so many times in film, yet this one stands alone, peerless!

Mesmerizing performances, gripping mystery and intrigue, while knowing how this story ends was amazing to watch unfold, frame by frame! Film students or aspiring filmmakers should study this film. I feel like, I was taught how to tell a story in film!

Thanks to Showtime, Ben, writers, editors, and the entire cast and crew for a job very well done!

I thought this show was very different, creative and depicted many shades and aspects of teens who are recently grown, on college campuses, NOT ALL! Grown-ish this is just a slice! I work with young people, and feel like this show is spot-on for many young people, and definitely not for some or adults who feel it either!

I thought it would be the usual college-life comedy, and was pleasantly surprised to see a show that shows that young people are thinking, and not just about their G.P.A., but life, mistakes, fitting-in with back-stories that flesh out the characters in 24 minutes, OK!

I'm always grateful when there isn't a laugh-track for starters, but I think it's a very fresh show, and hopefully, it continues to unfold and tackle hot topics, make people laugh and gain more viewers!
