[edit]

Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes gives the first season a 32% rating based on 25 reviews and an average rating of 5.94/10.[15] Metacritic gives the series a score of 53 out of 100, based on 13 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[16]

Some critics[17] criticized the main character's unlikeability, but praised Robertson's portrayal.[18][19]

Critics were divided as to whether the show presented a feminist message. Jennifer Wright from New York Post called the show a "feminist fraud" because of Sophia's selfishness.[20] On April 18, 2018, Zimbio criticized the show saying it was "like the weird forgotten cousin of Degrassi".[21]
