"Good Trouble" follows Callie and Mariana as they embark on the next adventure in their lives in Los Angeles. Mariana tackles the male-dominated world of tech, and Callie faces the harsh realities of the legal system as she clerks for a federal judge. After moving to The Coterie in downtown Los Angeles, Callie and Mariana realize that living on their own is not all it's cracked up to be. Although they have new neighbors, new romances, and new challenges, the sisters must rely on each other to navigate the City of Angels.

Critics Consensus

Good Trouble is a spinoff that leaves the nest and takes graceful flight, bringing a deft comedic touch to the trials and tribulations facing Generation Z.

Good Trouble is a strong renovation, at least so far. It feels built to disarm skeptics.

8.9/10

The series deftly captures what it's like when you're in your early 20s and just starting out, navigating a new career, new living situation, and new relationships. Good Trouble is well worth your trouble.

Good Trouble avoids that trap, keeping the show's narrative focused and balanced, even while introducing all these new characters...

Although it may look trite on the surface, Good Trouble manages to tackle life’s big dilemmas – equity, career progression, traumatic childhoods – while somehow managing to have fun doing it.

When Good Trouble premiered at the beginning of this year, it was easy to fall in love with it.

I saw the first episodes of the first season and I had to leave the series because there is this story between the protagonist whose name I do not remember and a certain Joel who is truly horrible and trivial the ugliest thing is that everything is focused on this story are unable to insert anything else interesting there is the work at the law firm but it is written very bad after this there are only parties in three episodes there are 4 parties, in practice you find yourself looking at parties and only parties. In the first episode it is still worse, I can't watch a TV series that does not propose any kind of content but only sex as if it rained and parties after a while you break the boxes as it happened to me, however and the relationship between Callie and Joel seemed the film 9 weeks and ½ with a duration of 18 hours made me the vault stomach !!

I didn’t mean to get invested. A background show turned into something I actively put my phone down to watch.

I fell in love with The Fosters and when I saw Good Trouble I started to watch it without hesitation. I have adore seeing Mariana and Callie's life transition from teenagers to adults. The show addresses topics that the public would prefer to turn their face away from rather than to see reality. Do I agree with everything? No. That is why we have something called "opinion". I believe the scenarios portrayed are very similar to the struggles of our current world. The best part is, the show gives you the chance to see how making good or bad decisions will affect your life one way or another. It makes you think… what kind of decision you would've made in their shoes? I wish for more tv shows like this one.

Absolutely love it. Sure opening, realistic, sexy, a bit drama, a bit fun. I love it and will be watching the fosters next to get more background.

03/26/2021

I have no complaints! I love the character developments and the real issues they touch on.

02/15/2021

This show was good at first for season one but season two and three is all about politics and hating people that's white And making fun of Republicans and Trump I can't wait until every one of them regret doing this I will never watch the show ever in my life the fosters was good at first but I will never watch the show for sure they can stick it so bye bye-bye I hope you get canceled you are not fair to everybody you're just doing this for people that is liberals
