Critics' reviews

"[It] is careful to balance fan service with the original characters against the new possibilities of its younger, hungrier batch of characters — but in terms of compelling stories, 'Generation Q' often wins out"

Caroline Framke: Variety
"A trip down memory lane that doesn't wallow in the supposed greatness of yesteryear (...) The best aspect of the revival is the fun and whimsy it conveys. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"

Kelly Lawler: USA Today
"The cast now better reflects Los Angeles's ethnic and gender diversity (...) The new series has not adapted to every way in which the world has changed"

Elisabeth Vincentelli: The New York Times
"Showtime's engaging sequel series to 'The L Word' puts a fresh spin on L.A.'s queer culture 15 years after the original debuted."

Robyn Bahr: The Hollywood Reporter
"[It] has highlighted the original series’ flaws (too white, too cis, too femme) as well as its strengths (we loved the characters anyway)."

Jude Dry: IndieWire
"The first three episodes of 'Generation Q' are enjoyable and set several promising arcs in motion"

Kathryn VanArendonk: Vulture
"The reboot of Showtime’s iconic lesbian series is still over-the-top — but its new characters finally reflect the diverse LGBTQ community"

Jenna Scherer: Rolling Stone
"It has nothing to illuminate about queer life that isn’t explored with more sensitivity or emotional intelligence on shows like 'Work in Progress'."
