Reception
editCritical reviews of the series have been mostly positive or positive-leaning. Curve magazine wrote, "Girl/Girl Scene portrays the emotional reality of lesbians. It's not just a show about sex, drugs and drama - it has depth and realistic characters, which makes Girl/Girl Scene easy to connect with." Decider praised the series for being "a lot of fun" and avoiding "PSA territory."[6] In a more neutral review, Autostraddle, an online magazine, said that one of the main criticisms of Girl/Girl Scene is its "lackluster acting", further commenting that "the writing could be a little sharper, too." Those details, however, "don’t detract from the excitement of watching your own [lesbian] community."[7]
The series has been compared to the Showtime LGBT television series The L Word.[8][9]
Film
editA film based on the series, entitled Girl/Girl Scene - The Movie,[10] was released in 2019.[11]
