There's not a lot of laughs to be found, but the characters will resonate with anyone who has dreamed of perfecting a hardflip. Go to Full Review Niko Stratis Bitch Media 07/21/2020
Betty isn't a show made to shatter glass ceilings so much as it is to empower those pushing against it. Go to Full Review Rebecca Nicholson Guardian 06/10/2020
4/5
There are moments for viewers beyond the featured age group that may feel like being a teacher at a school disco. Still, as a tribute to youth, and to these young women in particular, it is as invigorating as it is sweet. Go to Full Review Farah Cheded A Good Movie To Watch 03/17/2024
An empowering skate-centric teen drama that stands out for its empathy and breezy hangout vibe. Go to Full Review Sarah Ward Concrete Playground 07/08/2022
This astute and engaging series offers a window into a world that has long seemed like a dream for teenage girls. It lets the audience step inside, skate along, hang out and try it on... it knows it's doing something revolutionary. Go to Full Review Fausto Ponce Alta Fidelidad Magazine 07/20/2021

07/20/2021 I'm glad this show exists. In addition to representation, there are some real and important issues being explored. But I just can't get into it. Performances are stiff and monotone and the dialogue can sometimes feel as though it's trying a bit too hard to be hip or realistic. It often sounds like an older millennial or young Gen-Xer speaking how they imagine characters of this age might speak - with varying degrees of believability. I'm a few episodes in and feel like maybe it'll hit its stride, but as of Episode 4 of Season 1, it's yet to really grip me. See more Junji Ito's G 06/04/2021 This show is awesome. The characters and storylines are great. The music is good too. See more susan j @CallMeLulu 05/01/2021 I wanted to like this show. Seemed to have potential. checked it out a few times, each time hoping I'd like the characters better, appreciate the writing or acting more, or think more highly of the intent of the show. Not possible. It's contrived. Tries so hard to be hip and edgy and forward-looking, but is more successful in being obnoxious and gratuitously gross. I don't understand why the critics rate is 96%. Surprised there will be a Season 2? See more 01/03/2021 Fantastic cast just an effortlessly balancing between humor and darker issues. Made me happy! Friendship always wins. See more 10/29/2020 super vibey. had all the essence of NYC. cant w9 for season 2. See more 08/12/2020 Very good characters, mirror to patriarchy, plot about friends. Does it passed Bechdel Test? I suppose so :) See more Read all reviews
