Judy Berman TIME Magazine 09/28/2023
TV that hits all its technical marks is easy to find these days. Shows like The Other Black Girl, which raise insightful questions and leave you pondering, remain all too rare. Go to Full Review Nic Autostraddle 09/21/2023
[The Other Black Girl] leaves us and its characters with the question of what we as Black women are willing to sacrifice in order to not only be invited to the table, but to head it, and whether or not that sacrifice is worth potentially losing ourselves. Go to Full Review Craig Mathieson Sydney Morning Herald 09/18/2023
It’s not afraid to be broad, whether as a publishing satire or fright fest, and Daniel and Murray bring to life the social commentary salted through these age-old pages. Go to Full Review William Schwartz Book & Film Globe 05/03/2024
What makes The Other Black Girl so on-point is that the show openly questions the usefulness of conciliatory posturing in popular culture. Go to Full Review Jen Maravegias Pajiba 10/10/2023
If it had fully committed to telling a capital-H Horror story instead of threading the needle the way they did, I think it would have been more successful. Go to Full Review Monique Jones Common Sense Media 09/29/2023

Black life isn't just about struggle or paranoia. With that said, The Other Black Girl serves a valuable purpose in giving voice to the often unspoken pangs of Black womanhood. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

I skipped right on through it without belaboring the next episode. I doubt it will get another season, but I appreciated the show.
