	Media	Author	Review
		Liz Kocan Decider	"[2nd Season Review]: Firefly Lane can be soapy and sappy, but it’s a fun ride full of humor and high stakes relationship drama"
		Christina Izzo AV Club	"[2nd Season Review]: It seems as though 'Firefly Lane' hasn't learned much over the years (...) All of the stuff that was wrong with season one is still wrong with it this time down the road"
		Kristen Lopez IndieWire	"[2nd Season Review]: Despite it all, we’ll miss this duo"
		Caroline Siede AV Club	"It’s the sort of cheap-looking, unevenly written and acted series that’s easy to rag on (...) [But it] offers an exploration of women’s interior lives that still feels relatively rare in the TV landscape"
		Caroline Framke Variety	"'Firefly Lane' loses out on much of its potential emotional resonance by getting lost in its own narrative trickery."
		Meghan O'Keefe Decider	"For all its obvious turns and emotionally manipulative choices, you’ll be hard pressed to stop watching. The performances of the four actresses playing Tully and Kate are so spectacular you’ll be sucked in."
		Kristen Baldwin Entertainment Weekly	"'Firefly Lane' would be entirely forgettable without Heigl and Chalke — which is both a compliment and a disappointment."
		Amy Amatangelo Paste Magazine	"The show truly fumbles when it tries to take on bigger issues (...) The other problem is the lack of investment I had in the show’s central love triangle"
		Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times	"Heigl and Chalke are terrific together (...) They’re three-dimensional characters in a series where many of the supporting figures (...) are relatively thinly drawn and not particularly compelling (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"
		Inkoo Kang The Hollywood Reporter	"Overloaded with saccharin and cheese (...) It’s a rich premise squandered by awkward casting, tearjerking storylines and knee-high ambitions."
		Candice Frederick TV Guide	"10 impossibly fast, nearly one-hour episodes fly by without them saying anything profound (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)"
		Kristen Lopez IndieWire	"Chalke and Heigl make the series far more entertaining than it has any right to be."
