Each of the actors in Betty plays a character loosely based on themselves, but that doesn’t take away from the nuance and sensitivity they bring to their performances. ... But what remains most extraordinary about Betty is the way it places the viewer so viscerally in New York. Read full review

Even when filmmaker and series creator Crystal Moselle ups the ante on the drama in season two, it remains understated. Betty manages to deliver the same slice-of-life charm of season one, even while set against the sobering reality of a global pandemic and the feverish June protests. Read full review

Betty is best when it gives viewers the near-documentary sense that they’re just embedded with these young women. Things come together beautifully by the season finale. Read full review

The camaraderie and joy at the heart of “Betty,” and the series’ unwavering endorsement of the idea that platonic love is the most important kind, make season two just as watchable as its predecessor. Read full review

Season Two of Betty feels like watching an identity crisis unfold. Not necessarily trying to figure out what kind of show it wants to be, or what story it wants to tell, but rather, how exactly to tell that story. Read full review

With all of the first season’s social commentary stripped away, “Betty” has now become a banal, painfully self-absorbed slog through petty problems. Read full review

More pandering identity crap. People please stop picking things you have no control over to identify as. You didn't achieve your gender, race or orientation. You just are that. Crap like this is pandering **** that divides more than unites.
