The cast here is so well-selected, the songs so infectious, and the stakes so refreshingly recognizable that the series becomes the first must-watch comedy of the year.

Girls5eva‘s pleasures, though, far outweigh its stumbles. And best of all, it’s a fun, easy binge, with all eight episodes dropping at once. It’s a relief to have something light and fun to watch, frankly. So much TV these days, even the good stuff, is hard to watch — but this is a joy.

An onslaught of wit, pure silliness, nostalgia, and absurdity, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

This show is driven more by jokes than by story. And what jokes they are! “Girls5eva” is most fully itself when puncturing the pretensions of its characters and the world around them, and its sensibility grows clearer over the course of the first season. Like its characters, the series is finding its voice, and doing so with style.

Unsurprisingly, the Meredith Scardino-created series hasn't lost its rhythm. However, its lesser episode count, and the too-frequent head-rearing of its new management, make it less charming than previous recording.

Girls5eva, just like its characters, does its best to give us the monster hooks we’re used to while poking at the boxes constraining said hooks, coming up with a somewhat mixed but somewhat appealing result. Less Taylor Swift’s evermore, more Taylor Swift’s Reputation.

Great cast, well-written songs, extremely funny and adorable. Definitely one of the best comedy series of 2021 so far.

This show was fantastic! It has a compelling premise, plenty of laughs, and a hint of 30 rock (even a Fey cameo). The music was often goofy, but at times somewhat plausible which is surprising given Girls5eva is a fictional group. Renée Elise Goldsberry's performance was especially good. She has said in interviews that she thinks there's great chemistry among the cast, and I definitely agree. Looking forward to season 2!
