Critics Consensus

A lukewarm book-to-screen adaptation that takes the fun out of the usual genre trappings.

Brian Lowry CNN.com 12/07/2023
The series follows a blueprint that’s comfortable in its predictability and calibrated to pluck all the customary notes, at times a little too self-consciously so, not that it’s likely to matter when the casting works, as this mostly does. Go to Full Review Meredith Hobbs Coons AV Club 12/07/2023

There are harmful behaviors in this that are never questioned at all, and it’s also not sweet, fun, or funny enough to hold its own against better shows. Go to Full Review Aramide Tinubu Variety 12/07/2023
Unfortunately, generic storylines, a massive cast and puzzling choices from the adults and teens alike make for a middling tale. Go to Full Review Lindsay Press Culturess 03/18/2025
My Life With The Walter Boys is a series of overused and badly designed tropes that lack any substance or heart in their presentations. Go to Full Review Nelson Acosta Koimoi 07/03/2024

My Life with the Walter Boys offers the teen dream in all of its glory. It might not be quality television, but it is fun nonetheless. Go to Full Review Jackie K. Cooper jackiekcooper.com 12/29/2023

Molly M @Mmogford Jun 2 My Life With the Walter Boys is an absolute must-see show!!! It has themes of romance, resilience and finding your place. It is definitely for you if you enjoy series like Vampire Diaries and Gilmore Girls. I adored it!! The love triangle is intricately built and you will immediately become invested in it! Warning: once you start watching, you will never be able to stop!!!!!! Love it! See more Sierra B @sbmbolin Apr 19 Not a bad show, but it's pretty predictable... what teen romance isn't? See more Drue M. @DrueBee Feb 4 Was this show written by ai? See more Alexander K @tom889696 Dec 8 this how is an insult to human intelligence See more maya B. @luvekelsey Dec 4 this is was actually good for a ya teen drama See more Kyle J @KyleJarrett Dec 4 im going to be realistic, it was predictable, but what teen romances aren't anymore. the show offered us a great insight into many issues in season 1, read the book or not, it still has surprising turns. the love triangle of Jackie and the brothers Cole and Alex, her loneliness, the struggle of a permanent maternal figure, financial strain, jealousy and many other issues were discussed and shown brilliantly in the show. it may have similarities to the summer I turned pretty, but who cares, the show was exciting and had me entranced the whole time. while it differs from the book at times, not by a landslide it makes it more fun to watch. the show offers us so much watching, if there wasn't a limit on the review size I would write forever, but I am constrained to these words. the ending was done the best, Jackie realises she wants Cole but cannot have him following her months with Alex, leading the way to her leaving for New York which was very mature and a great ending to season 1 See more Read all reviews
