Review of PEN15

PEN15 (2019–2021)
10/10
The funniest show since Letterkenny
16 September 2020
Maya Erskine and Anna Konkle play teenage versions of themselves where in the first episode they are starting their first day of 7th grade with dreams of how great it is going to be. I think most of us know how complicated this time of our lives were. I was literally laughing out loud at things and others I felt extremely uncomfortable which is part of the charm. The way they play off each other is fantastic and their interactions with the actual teens in this is where it really shines. The soundtrack of the late 90's and early 00's is perfectly placed and adds to the comedy. I accidentally started watching this and it is one of the best mistakes I've ever made. Being a man there are things that I can't relate to and I started to think that maybe it would be even that much more funny to women, but there's things like the boys trying to catch a booby shot on the restricted cable channel. Any male growing up before the internet was flooded with pornsites will understand this. This show is pure gold.
