A coming of age story set in the late 1960s that takes a nostalgic look at a black middle-class family in Montgomery, Alabama through the point-of-view of imaginative 12 year-old Dean.

		Joel Keller Decider	"[2nd Season Review]: We're happy we can finally spend some more time with them, over a year since Season 1 ended"
		Angie Han The Hollywood Reporter	"[1st Season Review]: The series attempts to balance pointed cultural commentary with a genial coming-of-age narrative — and it largely succeeds, thanks to its warm humor and winning cast."
		Daniel D'Addario Variety	"[1st Season Review]: 'The Wonder Years' can feel rushed, as it takes on subject matter that deserves a bit more breathing room (...) The entire cast, including and especially the younger members are warm and likable"
		LaToya Ferguson The Wrap	"[1st Season Review]: [It] brings a new, necessary perspective to a timeless classic (...) [It] captures the balanced mix of understated comedy and truth that the original did"
		Michael Starr New York Post	"[1st Season Review]: As its heart, 'The Wonder Years' is your standard-issue network sitcom but with a bit of an edge and it’s all-about diversity here"
		Melanie McFarland Salon	"[1st Season Review]: One suspects not everyone will be in the mood for its cozy approach."
		Mike Hale The New York Times	"[1st Season Review]: [The pilot] is faithful to the gentle tone and clever whimsicality of the original, and the observations of racism sneak up on you"
		Inkoo Kang The Washington Post	"[1st Season Review]: There’s a lot of promise here; the child actors are great finds, and the adult cast (...) evince a roundedness that you hope will mean story lines dedicated to their characters, too"
		Joel Keller Decider	"[1st Season Review]: The new version of 'The Wonder Years' doesn’t try to be like the original, and that’s a good thing"
		Kristen Lopez IndieWire	"[1st Season Review]: A delightful series that should appeal to both fans of the original series as well as a new generation who have never watched the show"
