"You don’t need to be fans of the Canadian indie-pop twins to enjoy this touching and heartfelt look at queer adolescence – but it might help."

The Guardian

"The show can feel like a slow burn, but it also has the same coziness and gentle angst that made My So-Called Life a cult hit."

—

The New Yorker

"A rich and timely teen drama that's far more than just a gateway to becoming a Tegan & Sara fan."
