Reception

Sowmya Rao of Scroll.in reviewed "Immature's strong suit is its ability to tap into the elements that make adolescence ripe for dramatisation. This it does by looking at ordinary characters and trading glamour for a glimpse of school life that is far closer to reality [...] The series nails the endless catastrophising over small setbacks and worldview that's both self-centred and self-deprecating ... [It] is like an instant noodles formula: quick, easy, enjoyable but ultimately transient." [11] Devasheesh Pandey of News18 wrote "The makers have effectively limited themselves to painting a target on frivolous boys, who eventually end up having their way. But in that there is a stark absence of a character that stands counter to the flippant story line. However, the performances of the lead actors are funny up to a point that it does not go overboard." [12]
