	Media	Author	Review
		Alan Sepinwall Rolling Stone	"[2nd Season Review]: is just as off-the-wall funny, but more emotionally complex too (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Hank Stuever The Washington Post	"[2nd Season Review]: Anyone who can’t relate might have been unconscious as a teen."
		Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"[2nd Season Review]: It's becoming easier and easier to see how the series is becoming, along with Netflix's similar-but-animated 'Big Mouth', the most watchably unwatchable treatment of 'ordinary' adolescence since Freaks & Geeks."
		Darren Franich Entertainment Weekly	"[2nd Season Review]: [It] gets weirder, and more emotionally resonant."
		Allie Gemmill Collider	"[2nd Season Review]: [It] arrives at exactly the right moment to lift our spirits and bring us back to the simpler times"
		Lucy Mangan The Guardian	"[It] is remarkable for the seriousness (underneath the laughs) with which it treats juvenile and especially female juvenile relationships (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter	"Incredible performances make Hulu's comedy (...) intriguing, but it feels too much like a sketch stretched into a series (...) In its best moments, 'PEN15' is like a juvenile version of 'Broad City'"
		Jen Chaney Vulture	"An irresistible millennial coming-of-age series (...) The show is so relatable and well-written that even if you’re too old or too young (...) you’re still likely to be charmed by it."
		Caroline Framke Variety	"If you grew up as a teen girl, no matter when, so much of 'Pen15' will ring sharply and sometimes uncomfortably true."
		Merrill Barr Forbes	"The episodes are, at times, too melodramatic for their own good, and too slow to not lose interest in (...) Overall, 'Pen15' is solid enough to be worth a cautious recommendation"
		Nick Harley Den of Geek	"'PEN15' is a nostalgia-buffet for anyone born between the years of 1986-1994 (...) [It] is cringe-comedy gold and expertly sold by our leads (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
