In the news: Best Years reviews

These are reviews about the American premiere, about the show currently airing on Global:

David Bianculli of the NY Daily News:

• Class struggle in ‘Best Years’
  “”Degrassi” head writer Aaron Martin is the creator of “The Best Years,” and establishes his new, college-age series with a scattershot approach that would earn different grades. For starters, he gets an A for casting Charity Shea as Samantha. She’s a fresh-faced young actress who, like Anne Hathaway in “The Devil Wears Prada,” exudes vulnerability, confidence and casual beauty.”

Robert Philpot of the Star-Telegram:

• ‘The Best Years’ has the smarts for college
  “With Veronica Mars and Gilmore Girls no longer doing first-run episodes, there’s a dearth of series about college. The Best Years, the first series on The N to move into higher education, tries to change that. It doesn’t have Veronica’s smarts or Gilmore’s wit, but it’s a watchable genre entry nonetheless.”
