	Media	Author	Review
		Inkoo Kang The Hollywood Reporter	"[An] impressive project (...) 'Twenties' is the rare Hollywood-insider series to actually feel current and essential."
		Alan Sepinwall Rolling Stone	"[It] is a bit thin on the comedy end of things, often going for more of a hangout vibe than trying to sling jokes (...) Fortunately, there’s strong enough chemistry among the three leads to make that approach work (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"
		Caroline Framke Variety	"It’s unclear why Hattie wants to write for TV (...) It’s entertaining to watch Hattie figure out how to break into the business, but without any clear motivations pushing her, it’s frustratingly ephemeral."
		Malcolm Venable TV Guide	"'Twenties' is most enjoyable when it allows itself to be unapologetically silly (...) [Hatties is] a jumble of naïve optimism, avoidance of reality, and recklessness that makes her endearingly funny (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Kellee Terrell AV Club	"The hyperfocus on Blackness distracts from the real issue at hand: 'Twenties' character development"
		Tambay Obenson IndieWire	"It’s a cutesy, sometimes insightful, and humorous comedy-drama (...) It’s a series that clearly wants to set itself apart with its visual style and rhythm, and, for the most part, it succeeds in that regard."
		Joel Keller Decider	"[It] is definitely light on character development, but Gibbs shines as Hattie and the perspective the show presents is unique."
