"You don’t need to be fans of the Canadian indie-pop twins to enjoy this touching and heartfelt look at queer adolescence – but it might help."

The Guardian

"The show can feel like a slow burn, but it also has the same coziness and gentle angst that made My So-Called Life a cult hit."

—

The New Yorker

"A rich and timely teen drama that's far more than just a gateway to becoming a Tegan & Sara fan."

—

RogerEbert.com

"High School takes its teen heartaches and hang-ups seriously, but it’s also a thoroughly enjoyable series that’s far from just a Tegan and Sara origin story."
