    Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic
    CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
    Staci Frederick Blistering performances.
    Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
    Elliott Gordon This show is so cheap it's as if it was thrown together in a couple hours by a grade eight class doing a video project. Some of the worst writing I've ever seen. The acting isn't good either but it's hard to say for sure since they are given such crappy writing.
    Cleavant Derricks This show is really bad. Just like really really really very bad. Nothing else to say but this is really bad. Don't waste your time. 2 out of 10 only because I have seen even worse than this.
    jenmaur I started watching this when I was procrastinating for exams and the title caught my attention and now I can't get enough of it. Can't wait for the next season of Second Jen Nate is so cute, I knew he looked familiar I've watched him on the Degrassi but overlooked his character because I wasn't a big fan of his character role. Overall there was a big transformation to where I barely noticed that it was him. Mo is really cute, and I knew that she liked her boss from the beginning (no hindsight bias at all). Jen really captures the display the struggle of being a westerner but keeping hold to her Asian roots. Lewis is just the cool guy I like watching him because he is the "chill" guy who starts fun ideas, and keeps everyone together. Alister kinda reminds me of the guy off IT crowd. Even though he is a bit crazy, crazy is good. Over all the show is very quirky cute. I can see some people not liking it and others who do.
    Candice Lee Oy, vey. I don't even know where to begin with this review.I was excited to watch a TV show with two female Asian leads, but my excitement quickly turned to disappointment after watching the first few episodes. Second Jen is lifeless and devoid of personality, very much like the two main characters. It's torturous following Amanda Joy and Samantha Wan's characters around for 20 minutes, because they're some of the worst Canadian TV actors (the standards are already very low) I've seen in a long time. Had the creators of the show not cast themselves as the leads, it still would have fallen flat because even decent actors wouldn't have been able to save a show so horribly written. Much like how the cousin (who was surprisingly a very good actress) in the second episode couldn't distract from the horrible acting.The plot it empty, the characters vapid, boring, and two dimensional, and at the end of an episode you'll wonder why you wasted 20 minutes of your life. Not to mention the transition scenes are jarring and outright weird. I've watched Hallmark and Lifetime movies that have better character development in the first 10 minutes than Second Jen has had in 2 episodes (40 minutes).You may be thinking that 6 episodes isn't a lot of time to establish anything. Nice excuse, but the British seem to have no problem with these time constraints as most of their series are 6 episodes. I'd rather watch their shows any day since they understand basic screen writing and character development and write beyond the level of a high schooler trying to make a vacuous web series.I would be very surprised if Second Jen received a second season.
