What to Know

Critics Consensus

Grand Army is an excellent showcase for its exciting cast of newcomers - even if its attempt at an honest approach to adolescence is too overwrought to make an impact.

Grand Army lets several of its cast members shine through complex characters and culturally specific plotlines and that the show's ambitions underscore its messy, sluggish, all-too-frequently frustrating storytelling. Go to Full Review John Doyle Globe and Mail 10/26/2020
There are many series and made-for-streaming movies about teenage life on Netflix. But none as ambitious, sobering, and bold as Grand Army. Go to Full Review Kelly Lawler USA Today 10/22/2020
2.5/4
If you strip back some of the excesses, there's a gripping teen drama there somewhere. When you find it, "Army" is exquisite. But the show can be a slog when it loses its way. Go to Full Review Michael Cuby them. 09/28/2022
Like many modern-day teen-oriented shows, Grand Army plays loosely with sexuality, openly acknowledging the uselessness of labels in 2020. Go to Full Review Zoya Raza-Sheikh NME (New Musical Express) 07/13/2021
3/5
Grand Army cuts close, but it doesn't deliver. Go to Full Review Alexis Gunderson Paste Magazine 10/28/2020
7.1/10
As solid as all of the lead performances are-Jean and A'zion being particular standouts, though they all more than hold their own-it never felt like there was enough of any one thing for me to grab onto. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Zahara B @Zahara 12/14/2024 The only TV show I have seen that accurately captures the many nuances to being a teenager and life for Gen Z in big cities. I’m so mad they canceled it. We need more seasons ! See more Chris K @RT81776181 09/29/2024 I loved this series, I think it is one of the most realistic portrayals of the teenage experience I have seen in a drama series, it shows some of the different hardships that teenagers go through without glamorizing it. One thing I didn't enjoy was the cartoon segments with Leila, they felt misplaced and a bit jarring, pulling the viewer out of the shows reality. The acting was great especially by Odley Jean and Odessa A'zion, they really brought Dominique and Joey to life. See more Kesiena E @RT42476364 07/02/2023 Grand Army is good show in terms of actors to rolls played like a lot of scenes because I can relate. See more 08/06/2021 It's annoying that Netflix cancels good shows like this one but has no problem to waste money on nonsense like He's All That. See more 07/10/2021 I liked it a lot but i want a second season too. See more 06/19/2021 One of the most realistic and modern teenage shows around, it's a shame it was cancelled coz we need more See more Read all reviews
