Drew Gregory Autostraddle It feels trapped between its source material and the desire to expand beyond its protagonist’s worldview. Aug 18, 2023 Full Review Cristina Escobar RogerEbert.com A thoughtful exploration of grief and how old wounds carry forward, with particular attention to motherhood May 21, 2023 Full Review Izzy Ampil BuzzFeed News Hahn inhabits the fictionalized Strayed with a frank desperation that makes her hilarious to behold. Apr 14, 2023 Full Review Mini Anthikad-Chhibber The Hindu Turning a series of essays — which was in equal part a memoir and an advice column — into an engaging show, is a laudable feat Aug 27, 2023 Full Review Silvina Lamazares Clarín Despite a somewhat chaotic story, the series succeeds in shedding light onto a character's darkness... [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 3/4 Jul 17, 2023 Full Review Erin Maxwell LA Weekly/Village Voice Hahn puts in an award-worthy performance, but her character is far from endearing. Clare’s self-indulgence and eagerness to pin her difficulties on everyone but herself makes her an exhausting character, and it ultimately weighs down the show.

Joan L Katherine Hahn's performance had absolutely zero nuance, and mostly consisted of her screaming at everyone, especially her daughter. At the slightest annoyance, she would lose her temper and start melting down. It was very off-putting and distracting and ruined this series for me. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/25 Full Review Gabriela B It is beautiful. I loved it! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/18/25 Full Review Ad G Raw love, real and venerable Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/16/24 Full Review Shaddi O It was a compelling and deeply moving and emotional watch. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/19/24 Full Review Dakota W Too dramatic, and characters were not convincing. In fact Clare was down right annoying in spots. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/18/23 Full Review Andrea Beautiful compelling heartbreaking and inspiring Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
