Season 1 Review: There aren’t enough shows on network television right now that are as aspirational as this one is, and Hale’s magnetic performance as Katy will keep you watching. Read full review

Season 1 Review: In all, “Katy Keene” represents a pleasant instance of the CW getting the balance exactly right for a comforting, engaging watch, keeping what works on “Riverdale” and ditching the murder. One hopes it stays that way. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Lucy Hale makes an unusually appealing [fairy tale princess]. ... Less about finding Prince Charming than it is about making your artistic dreams come true without losing your soul, Katy Keene is a fairy tale fit for a new decade. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The CW's "musical comedy-drama" feels depth-averse as its characters float around New York like stylishly dressed pappi in the wind. ... But thankfully there are exceptions. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Katy Keene lasciviously rolls around in every threadbare cliché of showbiz melodrama and then some. Read full review

Season 1 Review: They need a strong villain to play off of, though, and generically mean rich girl Alexandra Cabot (Camille Hyde) doesn’t quite cut it. I found myself wishing for more screentime for The Other Two‘s Heléne York, who plays Katy’s bitchy coworker Amanda. She’s sharp enough to provide a worthy foil for Katy, at least… but in the world of Katy Keene, it seems, any and all sharp edges have been rounded off to a safe dullness. Read full review

Katy Keene is one of my top 5 favorite new shows of 2020 and one of my favorite shows of all time. This show is a nice change of direction compared to the other Archie Comics shows Riverdale and Chilling Adventures with Sabrina but I still think it is the weakest of the 3 so far. The actingKaty Keene is one of my top 5 favorite new shows of 2020 and one of my favorite shows of all time. This show is a nice change of direction compared to the other Archie Comics shows Riverdale and Chilling Adventures with Sabrina but I still think it is the weakest of the 3 so far. The acting was excellent especically from Jonny Beauchamp, Ashleigh Murray, Lucy Hale, Katherine LaNasa, Luke Cook, Bernadette Peters, Zane Holtz, Daphne Rubin-Vega, and Julia Chan. The costumes were phenomenal and beautiful especially on Lucy Hale, Jonny Beauchamp, Katherine LaNasa, and all of the costumes created by characters Katy Keene and Guy LaMontagne. The makeup and hairstyling was outstanding especially on Johny Beauchamp, Ashleigh Murray, and Lucy Hale. The music was great too, I really liked the musical numbers. This was a pretty great first season.… Expand

Porn. Not for children or moral adults. It is a deceptive way to get away with secretly watching porn.
