I originally gave this show a 6/10 but I'm going to bump that up to a 7/10. My first review was after watching 3 episodes but after watching the entire first season, I now realize I was wrong about what the show "was".
Its not just another comedy but instead an ode to the awkwardness and frustration of being a young teenager. While still achieving laughs, it can bring you back to the time you were naive, inexperienced, and uneducated about the world and society. People always like to say "it was so easy back then at that age. No real life problems. " I think pen15 does a great job of showing that those problems back then while seemingly inconsequential had deep seeded meaning that molded us into who we all are today.
Plus being a 30 y/o man, the show is def geared towards a female audience so maybe I had a hard time relating for my first review lol. But I think anyone from that time or anyone who can still relate, sympathize, or recollect their inner teenager will find something to enjoy about pen15.
