	Author	Review
United States	Caroline Framke Variety	"[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"	POS
United States	Kelly Lawler USA Today	"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)"	POS
United States	Elisabeth Vincentelli The New York Times	"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"	NEU
United States	Robyn Bahr The Hollywood Reporter	"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."	POS
United States	Jude Dry IndieWire	"[It] has highlighted the original series’ flaws (too white, too cis, too femme) as well as its strengths (we loved the characters anyway)."	NEU
United States	Kathryn VanArendonk Vulture	"The first three episodes of 'Generation Q' are enjoyable and set several promising arcs in motion"	POS
United Kingdom	Rebecca Nicholson The Guardian	"The glossy, groundbreaking lesbian drama returns after 10 years, for a reboot that marries a more inclusive take on LGBTQ lives with brilliantly messy, soapy plots (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Melanie McFarland Salon	"It has nothing to illuminate about queer life that isn’t explored with more sensitivity or emotional intelligence on shows like 'Work in Progress'."	NEG
United States	Jenna Scherer Rolling Stone	"The reboot of Showtime’s iconic lesbian series is still over-the-top — but its new characters finally reflect the diverse LGBTQ community"	POS
