Critic Reviews

Aside from that one stylistic note [flashbacks], Good Trouble is what all spin-offs should be. It's the continuation of a story we love, but from a new angle, and is entirely capable of standing on its own.

The series deftly captures what it’s like when you’re in your early 20s and just starting out, navigating a new career, new living situation, and new relationships. Good Trouble is well worth your trouble.

Good Trouble strikes me almost as TV’s first good Gen Z drama. It’s forthright and earnest, and it wears its politics on its sleeve. It understands that the world is filled with junk, but sometimes you can make something beautiful out of that junk. And it knows that even if the end is near, it’s not quite here yet. There’s still time.

Good Trouble is what happens when a teen drama transmogrifies into a workplace dramedy--moments of youthful levity between friends become bogged down by triggeringly realistic scenes of professional peril. ... When the show allows these young folks to just live in their uncertainty without artificially dangling them into sociopolitical relevancy, it shines.
