Privileged Reviews

Privileged is a television drama on the CW that revolves around an aspiring journalist who lands a job teaching spoiled rich girls.

"[E]ven though 90210 was the most anticipated new show on The CW this season, it would be no surprise if Privileged's substance and delightful performances began to bring the show its own discerning audience. With its quirky charm and strong performances, this CW show isn't just another pretty face."—Zap2itZap2it: Privileged Review

"I don't know that I'll ever watch another episode, but that says more about my own demographic and interests than it does about the merits of "Privileged." As these shows go, it's not bad."—NJ.comNJ.com: Privileged Review

• Chicago Tribune.com: Privileged Review
  • "The dialogue is witty, the pacing is brisk and there's some real heart amid all the tokens of the Palm Beach high life."

• NJ.com: Privileged Review
  • "Tonally, Privileged is an amalgam of the CW's other shows in this genre: more contemporary and (at times) funnier than the new '90210' but not as nihilistic as 'Gossip Girl'. And Garcia's both charming and a promising light comedienne."

• Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: Privileged Review
  • "Privileged has the potential to be a largely positive, female-skewing series."

• The Boston Globe: Privileged Review
  • "The show has the makings of a more sincere, 'Gilmore Girls'-like take on female bonding."

• Variety: Privileged Review
  • "Great it's not, but the fizzy mix of soapy elements, screwy comedy, high-society hijinks and romance dovetails with where the netlet has been heading programming-wise."

• Newsday.com: Privileged Review
  • "Garcia is a major-league cutie and sunny on-screen presence without being cloying. But enough with the filthy-rich-kid dramedies!"

• New York Post: Privileged Review
  • "In the CW's world, happiness is rubbing elbows with the rich and fabulous, and drawing the attention of various rich boys, while a soundtrack of chick-friendly pop tunes plays constantly in the background. If this sounds like happiness to you, then by all means feel free to join this "Privileged" class. You have nothing to waste but your time."

  • "JoAnna Garcia's overcaffeinated cuteness--the sort of thing that made otherwise decent people want to run Sally Field through with a pitchfork back in her Gidget and Flying Nun days--as a Palm Beach governess to trust-fund teen trash is nigh unbearable."

• washingtonpost.com: Privileged Review
  • "Just about everything in Privileged has popped up before, and what hasn't popped up before should never be permitted to pop up at all."

• USATODAY: Privileged Review
  • "Alas, like most copies, Privileged is a second-rate imitation."
