Review:
Clea DuVall adapts a memoir by Canadian singers Tegan & Sara into a wise and wistful series about adolescence. Uses quiet reflection and a shifting point-of-view to great effect, you’ll feel a lot of empathy for the characters.
Between this, Sprung and comfortable comedy Primo, it’s a surprisingly high batting average for Amazon’s ad-supported service.
