It's at the halfway mark that Pen15 grows into an equally affecting and raunchy coming-of-age story.February 07, 2019

"PEN15" often walks a line between sweet and crude, between memoir and sketch comedy, and sometimes it falls smack off it.February 06, 2019
PEN15 rolls out like a sketch show, flying from one awkward, funny little moment to the next, until it dawns on you that there's a certain dearth of "so what" to it.February 07, 2019
[It] is a cleverly envisioned and tenderly executed 10-episode dramedy about two girls in seventh grade.February 07, 2019
The show doesn't have the kind of narrative momentum that pushes you to find out what happens in the next episode.February 04, 2019
Pen15 is solid enough to be worth a cautious recommendation. Anyone who connects with the series will connect to it on a deep and visceral level.January 31, 2019
The teenage melodrama, silly on the surface yet deeply serious to our central duo, is cringe-comedy gold and expertly sold by our leads.February 07, 2019
