	Media	Author	Review
		Dianna Shen Paste Magazine	"[2nd Season Review]: 'The Sex Lives of College Girls' continues the magic created in its first installment, providing the perfect balance of horny humor and character growth"
		Shania Russell SlashFilm	"[2nd Season Review]: it has settled neatly into its rhythms, embraced its characters, and found a nice balance between its subversive nature and lighthearted comedy"
		Mashable	"[2nd Season Review]: The writers capture the unique and chaotic essence of the undergraduate experience (...) Oftentimes, the characters engage in reinforcing patriarchal beliefs and habits that set them back a couple of steps"
		Saloni Gajjar AV Club	"[2nd Season Review]: Self-confident performances and scripts. [It] isn't necessarily interested in all the serious aspects of college— and that's cool. Creating a glossy and good-humored show is its own kind of triumphant"
		Marya E. Gates The Playlist	"[2nd Season Review]: An unfunny, privileged, faux-feminist disaster"
		Joel Keller Decider	"[2nd Season Review]: 'The Sex Lives Of College Girls' continues the good vibes, with a well-oiled comedic ensemble and an easygoing charm that makes the show very bingeable"
		Emma Kiely Collider	"[2nd Season Review]: It's always fun, with many jokes in possession of that searing awareness that Kaling especially is so good at (...) Horny, sexy, funny, and fresh, [this] is a warm welcome back to Essex"
		Lucy Mangan The Guardian	"The gang of pitch-perfect actors give this show the perfect, elusive blend of truthful, joyful and funny (...) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Caroline Framke Variety	"Even as it stumbles into some pitfalls, 'The Sex Lives of College Girls' proves that there are plenty of ways for TV shows to tell college stories, especially when rooted in engagingly messy characters like these"
		Radhika Menon Paste Magazine	"The show isn’t exactly breaking new ground in terms of its romantic and identity-based storylines, but it approaches each girl’s predicaments with a tangible amount of love and understanding."
		Saloni Gajjar AV Club	"A giddy combination of racy humor and heartfelt friendships (...) The depiction of sex isn’t nearly as risqué as in fellow teen comedy Sex Education, but Sex Lives Of College Girls is still Kaling’s boldest work so far."
		Inkoo Kang The Washington Post	"The kind of show where pretty much every cast member feels like a find, and where the natural chemistry among the central foursome adds to the series’s easygoing appeal."
		Boston Globe	"Imagine if a Judy Blume novel were set in idyllic Vermont and its characters had access to Instagram (...) If you can accept its anachronisms, the show has its moments"
		Jennifer Keishin Armstrong The Wrap	"Call it “Sex and the City” for modern college girls, or “Greek” with sex positivity, or “Sex Education” with an emphasis on the female gaze"
		Brian Lowry CNN	"If "Sex Lives" is in some respects a spiritual heir [of 'Sex and the City'], it makes a strong case that meeting the next generation has more creative promise than revisiting an earlier one."
		Roxana Hadadi Los Angeles Times	its conservatism makes for a series that tells rather than shows, and that disconnect keeps the show firmly in comedy territory without venturing into anything more dramatic or unwieldy"
		Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times	"Breezy and funny and surprisingly sweet (...) this is a terrific vehicle for Kaur, Chanelle, Rapp and Chalamet to demonstrate their comedic and dramatic talents (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)!
		Alan Sepinwall Rolling Stone	"Sex Lives is not arriving to territory that feels, for lack of a better word, virgin. But it quickly stakes its claim as a likable show that understands what’s specifically exciting and terrifying about arriving on campus (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"
		Angie Han The Hollywood Reporter	"For the most part, 'The Sex Lives of College Girls' feels like the TV equivalent of dorm-room pizza: nothing novel or fancy, perhaps, but warm and gooey enough to satisfy."
		Adrian Horton The Guardian	"Like college, the series can be a bumpy ride, but offers enough promise to transcend its freshman offering. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
