  • Fans of Alice Oseman's graphic novels: The series is a faithful adaptation that captures the spirit of the original work.

Who might not

  • The show's consistent optimism and sweetness might not appeal to those who favor grittier or more complex dramas.
  • Audiences looking for highly complex, multi-layered characters with significant flaws: While characters are well-developed, some critics suggest a lack of depth in certain one-dimensional characters, leading to explicit emotional expression rather than subtle portrayal.
  • Those who are not the target demographic and find it overly simplistic: Some reviews suggest that the show might resonate most strongly with younger viewers and may require a suspension of critical faculties for older audiences.
