Mindy Kaling’s popular comedy, The Sex Lives of College Girls, has been a hit with millennials and Gen Z since its 2021 debut, and UK viewers can currently enjoy the full boxset for free.
The university-based drama follows the journey of Kimberly Finkle, a working-class student who finds herself at a prestigious New England university alongside three girls from vastly different backgrounds.
Pauline Chalamet stars as the introverted main character, with pop singer Renee Rapp playing Leighton Murray, Alya Chanelle Scott as Whitney Chase, and Amrit Kaur portraying Bela Malhotra. Together, these newfound friends tackle the trials of romance, academia, and finances.
Fast forward two years from season two, and the eagerly anticipated third series is nearly here, with UK viewers able to watch the boxset on ITVX.
As the show is aired on HBO, it premieres for American audiences first. However, ITV secured the series in 2022 and has made seasons one and two available for UK viewers, reports the Mirror.
Season three will premiere on November 21 on HBO Max, but its UK release date is still under wraps.
Upon its debut, the drama received widespread acclaim and was even hailed as the ‘modern-day Friends.’
Lucy Mangan, TV Critic for The Guardian, awarded the series a five-star rating and dubbed it the “modern-day Friends.” Meanwhile viewers on Rotten Tomatoes have also been singing the show’s praises.
One fan commented: “It is not easy, not to get hooked on this show! Chalamet, Kaur, Rapp and Scott all make incredible first-hand impressions in the first episode, clearly depicting who their characters are, but still not making them two-dimensional. While the whole storyline just stays entertaining! It is a fave.”
Another added: “So good. The characters are well-written and the lead actresses give them humour, warmth and depth. Satisfying to see a college series updated for the 2020s. The baristas are hilarious characters – sidekicks who steal the show. Hon mention to the supremely awkward parent dinner!”
Seasons 1 and 2 of The Sex Lives of College Girls are available to stream on ITVX
