Although, I love this show it does have some problems with the chatacters and plots but lets see how far the show goes.

ryanf-7548428 May 2022Where do I begin? Let's start with the story! Sadie wishes her avatar person was real and her wish came true. Oh boy!! The acting is awful!! It's boring!! I would not even watch it if nothing else is on.

purplehayess27 September 2021All the characters especially the main character are extremely annoying. The acting is so over the top and obnoxious. The jokes (if you can call them that) are horrible. It seriously seems like a 8 year old wrote this show. What has happened to Nickelodeon shows?!?!

nickfan-2533324 September 2021Do I even have anything to say about this one? This is just as bad as Young Dylan, if not worse. Everything about this is unfunny, horribly acted, and the list goes on. I'm keeping this review short. Please just don't watch the show, save your brain cells.

PirateKing6707 October 2021I don't know what's wrong with Nickelodeon trying so hard with these sitcoms. First Young Dylan and that's terrible, and now this. It's honestly dry at this point. Horrible acting, unfunny, horrendous acting, that dang laugh track playing after every single line that isn't funny..etc. I usually type out long reviews, but I'm gonna keep this brief and say what the other posters have said: don't torture yourself like we did. Save your braincells, stay *far away* from this. It's not worth the cringe of pain.

VansSk8tr27 September 2021Like a previous poster said, save your brain cells. Such a terrible and obnoxious show. Hard pass.

timshudson-0286729 October 2022My daughter loves it & it is honestly a delight to have something to watch together with her. It gives me Sister Sister and That's So Raven vibes that I grew up on. People bashing, apologies, ADULTS bashing a show where the intended audience is people that still consider Santa a real person. Get a life adults. This isn't for us. Enjoy it as I am because it is bonding time for my daughter & I. That is priceless & brings me to love the show. Especially the fact I can understand the adults in the show's perspective. Thinking "yeah that would be about how I react lol". Think of when our parents would watch stuff that we loved.

Loquacious_to_a_fault15 July 2022Someone said something to the effect that it's like "That's So Raven" -nope it's nothing like "That's So Raven." "That Girl Lay Lay" is original. Just because there's a black family with black kids does not make a copy of Raven's shows.
I've seen worse kids show...Side Hustle; Fred The Show; Young Dylan; Liv and Maddie for example...and a whole bunch of other bad kid shows that I can't recall their names because I've vanquished them out of my mind.
Season 2 is funnier. I'm sure they have better writers now.
I do like all of the characters.
The parents: are cool and down-to-earth parents yet corny to their daughter-that's how it usually is. They say real parent things while maintaining their intelligence. So often, writers will make parents (or the dad) stupid. These parents are talented, funny and give just enough.
Sadie: acts like a teen. She's giving zaniness and poise-she's like the 'straight man' and comic relief wrapped up into one.
Lay Lay: is the cute, sassy and fashionable friend. Although technically she is an avatar who is now in human form. Sadie wished for a helping, kind friend (something to that effect) and during a shooting star, the avatar from her positive affirmation app came out of her phone.
Marky-entrepreneurial money hungry little brother (Iol) who's always coming up with ways to make money. He's like any tv show little brother who gets in the way and bribes his sister. He's dapper, although Lay Lay doesn't think so.
I was sad when "Henry Danger" went away-no this did not replace...but they're both zainy, over-the-top stuff happenings. Kids doing thing and parents oblivious to what they're doing. -
corymercure-9941818 October 2021Show is just a rip off of that's so raven, plot is terrible and the main character is annoying I think the show needs to be pushed back a little to find it's originality and purpose of view.

fkck-0903019 February 2022My 9 year old absolutely loves it, even googled lay lay to learn some of her raps. Lots of miserable people on here it's for children not for you. Love Lay Lay's confidence.

jenrn-0972212 May 2022We were looking forward to a positive girl centered show and got this junk. Even with the positive affirmation "app", the star is meek, and has little self esteem. The "app" Lay Lay is disrespectful, rude, and selfish - how she went from a 'positive' affirmation app to what she is, is beyond me. She certainly isn't positive. Her music video that Nick runs 24/7 is exactly the reason this show is garbage. "I do what I want...You a nerd...You should hide..You can't make me do what you want" (while snapping her fingers in an adult's face)... Not remotely positive and certainly not something any parent should want their children to watch if they want them to become decent people. I won't let my kids watch this junk. Not sure when snarky, rude children became a 'thing' for children's TV - no values, no moral of the story, just brainless adults and disrespectful children. Hoping this show will end soon and fade away.

Recently, Nickelodeon has been making some questionable choices when it comes to making sitcoms about suposed "stars". Me along with probobly most people reading this dont even know who the heck this person is. This show along with young dylan both over advertize their shows and force the fact that they are "soo famous" right into your face. Not to mention the fact that they are both arogent, annoying brats and the whole show revolves around them being the cwnter of attention. They cancelled amazing shows like Henry danger and The Thundermans for shows that are painfull to watch like these. One final note, i brought up the show to a couple of family members and friends, and every single one of them made fun of the show and most just simply said that they were annoyed by the ads. Do not let Nick continue to cancel our good shows and replace them with this trash.

pwparker-9571710 October 2021Nickelodeon need to cancel that girl lay lay and Drama club to as well barbarian troll also needs to be cancel.

jamesdelonte13 October 2021I don't know why everyone is hating on this show it's very amazing it has very interesting plots very interesting characters and a very interesting protagonist warning don't listen to the haters watch this show it's just as good as Young Dylan.
-
andrew-morcus27 July 2022This show is awful. It's to bad there are no more good shows on Nick, the only good ones are on teen nick, where you get to watch the better nick shows created by Dan Snyder,

erikahl1115 March 2022I think the adults that are writing critical reviews for this show can't comprehend that it isn't supposed to be some sort of deep drama. It's cute, goofy, sassy humor... again this is for children. That being said, my 6 year old girls love this show.
The cast has wonderful chemistry, the parents are slightly dorky but have some realistic African American parenting moments which are great. The hair styles are diverse and fun, the costumes are adorable. Each character has their own style and it doesn't look forced. My kids loved seeing Sadie with socks that we purchased from target. Even the set looks great. I'm glad they did not keep the trampoline in the girls bedroom lol. I truly haven't enjoyed a show like this since that's so Raven when I was younger.
We need to remember that this show is based on an African American family, so it may appeal more to other African American families. Some of these shows can feel like there's heavy pandering but this show doesn't feel forced. The character Lay Lay is super sassy and full of confidence because she's from an affirmation app. Duh. Lol. The age appropriate jokes that can be pretty funny. I'm getting the vibe that because the main cast are two African American girls (some)people are low key rubbed the wrong way. It's probably soooo unrelatable to these people. The white adult men giving this show poor reviews are diving too deep and forgetting it's for children. -
trevorbumbarger27 April 2022This show is absolutely dumb and annoying. Her singing and expressions are trash and she seems like a very selfish person. I will be surprised if this gets another season!!!

carsmor-9679820 December 2022My granddaughter loves this show ... all she wants to watch...and a lot better than some shows out today for kids to watch.. they get into mischief but it's all good fun..nothing you have to worry about not wanting your kids to watch or hear. To many show have bad language for young kids or things you are not ready to explain yesterday. No drug, Alcohol ,teen sex or other today topics ... so this show is a win for me... she love the characters. All of them . I just wish season 2 was on Netflix or not have to pay 25.00 for a channel you have everything else already .. hopefully they will make more seasons also.

hanap-7806412 February 2022It was literally so bad. Like wtf did i just watch.. the acting was do bad and the characters annoy me so much, like SO much, especially lay lay, her acting is so over the top and the character itself literally sucks as do the rest of the characters.

JapanMovies6 August 2022Terrible. What is nick doing? This is rehash of other good nick shows just with worse actors and scripts. Nothing to do with who they are, it's about how terribly bad they are. If this additional year you know nick is doing now. Just like henry danger (is good) and Danger force show (is an insult to watch Nick) That is terrible, this is worse 100 times. Whose demographics is Nick wanting? And Who's are they don't? This is terrible.! If this is for kids it gives the wrong impression. This isn't a sample of how kids are today. It's an example of how networks are allowing such horrid programming.
-
markmoore951714 August 2022You can't blame the actors. The writers are horrible. The directors are horrible. It might just be me but all of these shows the actors and actresses are told to overact. It becomes so annoying.

TastySausage5 May 2022This is just mine opinion of course, but I don't buy the idea in the first place. Just.. A phone avatar that came to life... I think Nickelodeon ran out of ideas... I don't mind the actors, I'm sure they did the best job they could, but the charecters they're playing are incredibly annoying and I don't really think they're giving good influence for the young audience. They don't learn by mistakes and just keep being annoying. The jokes are horribly unfunny, maybe it's just not my sense of humor, but during the whole season I didn't laugh once, even Young Dylan made me laugh maybe one time, but this show is just horrible. The plot, the jokes, the charecters... I feel like someone litteraly wrote the whole show in 30 minutes, the plot is dumb, the jokes are flat... I don't mind if someone likes or liked this show, but in my opinion "That Girl Lay Lay" is Nickelodeon's another crappy show.

vsysqwp17 February 2023I don't want my kid even hearing or seeing this stupid music video. How can they possibly think "I do what I wanna do" "you can't make me do what you wanna do" while snapping in an adults face, is anywhere near appropriate or a smart message for kids. Don't need to watch the show now that I've seen this. Take this trash video off tho so I don't have to change the channel each time my kids watching America's funniest videos (prob their only watchable show especially for my kid). This is just the dumbest idea nick has had. Maybe if the song ended with the adult coming in saying "no you don't do whatever you want to do, because your a child" haha then that might make a little more sense.
