PEN15: Season 1 | Ratings & Reviews

"The more physically convincing they become, the more emotionally rich and fascinating Pen15 turns out to be. It’s primarily a balls-out, Broad City-ish comedy throughout, but it also evolves to become keenly observant, wise and empathetic regarding the fraught nature of being a friend, a daughter or just a girl of that age."

Rolling StoneRolling Stone

"PEN15 works because it doesn’t shy away from letting its kids be brats."

VoxVox

"It’s not a show that you’ll immediately take to social media to discuss with countless other people. But in its own, completely different way, it will make you feel less alone."

ColliderCollider

"It’s an insight into lockstep friendship, one of many joys over of the course of the series."

The GuardianThe Guardian

"Combining the pathos of "Eighth Grade" with the outrageousness of "Big Mouth," "PEN15" is a ridiculous comedy that still rings true."

IndieWireIndieWire

"The most joyful thing in PEN15 is the relationship between Anna and Maya, which is a refreshing testament to the role girls play in propping each other up during a period of life when every rug they’ve ever known is pulled out from under them with little warning."

VultureVulture

"Pen15 flips the adolescent script like this so many times with such clever insight that it can genuinely become disorienting after a lifetime of never seeing anything quite like it onscreen."

VarietyVariety

"An impossible masterpiece of teen TV that is authentically raw but also dreamily weird, a goof-off LOL comedy full of traumatic middle-school melancholy."
