Reception
The series received mostly positive reviews.[3] Laura Bradley of The Daily Beast wrote, "On paper, Watch Out for the Big Grrrls might sound like a pretty safe prospect; to a cynic's ear, a house full of women getting along and supporting one another in their dreams doesn't sound like a breeding ground for compelling stakes. But even if the series can veer dangerously close to treacly territory at times, it's never saccharine or inauthentic in its tone."[4]
