NOW TORONTO
"Sort Of is all kinds of fabulous... this is TV done right."
NOW TORONTO
"Baig is one of the most intriguing new voices I’ve encountered on TV this year."
TIME
"What makes the show so great is the complexity of the characters and the authenticity of the writing."
NOW TORONTO
"Wonderfully confident; the writing is lean and sharply drawn, and scenes aren’t wasted with exposition or explanation."
VULTURE
"Baig has a generous, compelling screen presence."
VANITY FAIR
“This nuanced dramedy explores love and life and death, and how the three can be more intertwined than we realise.”
THE GUARDIAN
“Sort Of distinguishes itself with the kind of winning sensibility that creates equal room for one-liners and heartfelt, sometimes roiling emotions, most of which Sabi keeps bottled up.”
CHICAGO TRIBUNE
“Sort Of has a laid back, funny vibe, which is mostly driven by Bilal Baig’s performance. Yes, the main character is nonbinary, but that’s only part of the story, which is what makes the show so entertaining.”
DECIDER
“The show takes issues that are often used as hot buttons — gayness, trans life, racial difference, interracial relationships — and with decent, good sense treats them as an everyday, often funny part of life.”
NPR
“Sort Of is the type of television so many other shows are trying to be but never quite achieve. It’s meaningfully diverse and intersectional, with three-dimensional characters, hilarious dialogue and a big heart.”
THE GUARDIAN
"A groundbreaking dramatic comedy, unlike any story we’ve seen on TV before. It’s a beautifully told story that captures the essence of a generation where the path forward isn’t as clear as it was for their parents and grandparents.”
TELEVIXEN
“More than kind of funny. Cleverly written and frenetically paced... Sort Of is a fresh and funny series that authentically captures the vibrant energy of Toronto and the terminal indecision that plagues many of its young people.”
THE CANADIAN PRESS
"The humour is lived-in, warm, real, both refreshingly local and universal."
FASHION MAGAZINE
"A lead worth rooting for."
THE GUARDIAN
"Truly one of a kind."

SCREEN RANT
“Not only is the show breaking down barriers in subject matter on mainstream television, but it’s providing on-screen representation for those who may not have had that prior.”
THE VIBE
“What the television world needs is more shows centred around gender-fluid characters. Luckily Sort Of is here to provide exactly that.”
