Reception

Critical 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

A film based on the series, entitled Girl/Girl Scene - The Movie, [10] was released in 2019. [11]

Some writers have stated that lesbians have often been depicted as exploitative and unjustified plot devices. Common representations of lesbians in the media include butch or femme lesbians and lesbian parents. "Butch" lesbian comes from the idea of a lesbian expressing themselves as masculine by dressing masculine, behaving masculinely, or liking things that are deemed masculine, while "femme" lesbian comes from the idea of a lesbian expressing themselves as feminine by dressing feminine, behaving femininely, or liking things that are deemed feminine.

Historically, the portrayal of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people in media has been largely negative if not altogether absent, reflecting a general cultural intolerance of LGBT individuals; however, from the 1990s to present day, there has been an increase in the positive depictions of LGBT people, issues, and concerns within mainstream media in North America. The LGBT communities have taken an increasingly proactive stand in defining their own culture, with a primary goal of achieving an affirmative visibility in mainstream media. The positive portrayal or increased presence of the LGBT communities in media has served to increase acceptance and support for LGBT communities, establish LGBT communities as a norm, and provide information on the topic.
