I’m pretty new to the world of fiction podcasts and until now hadn’t found one I’ve loved, but this one has me hooked. It’s like a mashup of Gossip Girl and The OC. And maybe Sex Education. The sound design makes it such an immersive world to escape into. Also love the theme song, very nostalgic...Read full review »

It’s well written and very engaging but I couldn’t finish it because it just turned into a promo with underage high school kids.

Storyline and acting are surburb but it’s crazy that these kids are in high school!!! Not college, it’s just weird having freshmen’s and seniors, bumping ugly’s, I mean there is a lot of sleeping around, I guess morals for people went right out the window and it’s just weird cause they are young...Read full review »

I love this podcast so far. It’s like watching a tv show. Hope there’s more episodes.

Really enjoyed this series. I wish all audio books would be made this way, this was so fun! It is extremely well produced and drew me right in with its fun storytelling style; the music, sound effects, the humor, it was all good. Reminds me of the old timey radio shows my grandparents listened...Read full review »

Ridiculously bad “acting” and story. Couldn’t get past the first 5 minutes of episode 1. Like a really amateur high school play. Don’t waste your time.

The Little League World Series is held in South Williamsport PA, every year. Not Florida, ever.

This show is beautifully produced. All the voices are spot on and the show should win an award just for sound design. And I am so far beyond the target of this demographic but yet it didn’t matter! I listened and enjoyed every bit: it reminded me the old radio broadcasts like Gunsmoke that just...Read full review »

It’s kinda nice escaping into a fictional podcast & it was well produced. The reason they lost a star is because the plot is very predictable, the characters are unbelievable for being in high school, but the biggest thing- inaccurate. I stopped what I was doing to write this review after...Read full review »

Easy and enjoyable listen! Liked the story line and the characters.

If you like Gossip Girl, you’ll like this show. It was good….I mean, I listened to the entire podcast. Had to know how it ended after all. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because 1) they didn’t list what actors played what character (yes they have their names listed and yes it’s on IMDB BUT...Read full review »

I was enraptured with the first four episodes but the virginity plot line totally lost me and the whole show became very juvenile from then forward. Loved the concept though and wish it had been done with college aged students instead of high school.

Not horrible but it was a reasonably weak story the kids were way too nice for private school and the sex scenes made it really cringy but the end was positive and nobody died
Rupplejerk via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/26/24
This reminds me of Gossip Girl- I love it! And I’m a 36 year old mom!
mkc2009 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/23/24
Guys. Seriously. It’s so good. If you love drama and romance it’s so your speed. I hope Wondery comes out with more soon!!!
Katie_girl_198 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/23/24
Very unlikable characters. Horrible people, constantly making light of terrible decisions and ignoring the lasting mental repercussions.

What a blast this was. Thank you!!
Doobeedi via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 02/15/24
I absolutely loved this podcast. I only put 4 stars because I feel like the end was rushed, but overall was soooo good. I hope there will be a season 2.

As a novelist & podcaster myself, I am highly impressed with Academy. The story, especially the dialogue, is well written with interesting twists. The actors and production value bring the story to life. I look forward to listening weekly & will probably re-listen. Highly recommend!

If you’re a fan of the classic 2000s teen dramas like gossip girl, pretty little liars, the oc, etc. you’ll love this show. The voice actors bring these characters alive, and you’ll find yourself invested in their stories and their secrets.
lunegeoid via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/05/24
The shows clever but it sounds like it was produced as a middle school project. A little sound balancing goes a long way. The way the music cuts in is like the screaming furniture commercials from cable tv from the 90s. Impossible to relax to.
SupraMK via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 02/05/24
Interesting but not very original. Good voice actors. Worth a listen if you like gossip girl or just want something low stakes to listen to.

JJ Niemann is a brilliant performer. This story made great use of his many talents. They were lucky to have him. Everyone in the show is spectacular.
AustinPearce1 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/31/24
I love this podcast so much and flew right through it. I can’t wait for a season two!

Basically a do-over of that one season on Gossip Girl
56CatJCam via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/07/23
Honestly one of the best fiction podcasts I’ve listened to. Please tell me there will be a second season!!
benitz123 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/25/23
I understand I can “binge early and ad free” with Wondery+ but early implies the rest of the episodes will be released at a later date. When is that? Or is that I have to get Wondery+ to hear the rest of them and the early thing is a mistake?

Do girls not have a “girl code” they adhere to?
Yungwalcott via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/20/23
How could they even make a ten episodes out of crappy story like that! I invested in it and had to finish it. Never want to do that again
Alkadi74 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/07/23
So many podcasts keep eps in subscription and slowly release them to the masses. Making access to a series so exclusive Makes me less likely to subscribe to wondery and more likely to unfollow this show waiting for regular people to have access.
DanforthPDog via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/06/23
I hope there’s another season please don’t leave us hanging.
Moiriss8 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/03/23
An absolutely exceptional (and hilarious) podcast. The story was so intriguing - I couldn’t stop listening. Very well written. I hope that Wondery will be motivated enough to create a second season.
Shree Summerlin via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/02/23
I listen to this entire story at work. It was it great listen. Can’t wait for more.
QueenRia88 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/31/23
Truly enjoyed this pod! Binged it in 2 days! PLEASE tell me you’re making Season 2!
maheeenz via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/28/23
This is great storytelling. I hope there is a second season.

Not a fan of listening to stories about children having sex with each other doing drugs, or screwing their teachers.
Trybren via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/23/23
I finished this in 2 days, it was so good and definitely got me distracted from Any stress and anxiety. Will there be a season 2, if so when should be expect it? PLEASE CONTINUE

I love this podcast. One of the best I’ve listened to in a while! Great story and character development. 😍 10/10
Brooklynhughes15 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/22/23
I saw an ad on fb for this podcast and thought I would give it a listen at work and binge it I do hope for a season two
Rea626 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/22/23
I absolutely loved this show, although I felt the ending was very rushed. Along with less descriptions towards the end on what was happening. I listened to it all within a couple days (wondery plus). I do hope for a season two for Ava's next semesterRead full review »

I absolutely loved this podcast. I binged listening to it in two days at work! Very well done!
KoreanBanana via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/16/23
I liked this a lot, good storyline and great voice acting. The music was great too. Only negative is that I found that they maybe had a few too many characters, I lost track of who people were.
RWoodsF via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 08/04/23
This is binge worthy!!! Love the story and can’t wait for more!!!
Sunflower5870 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/04/23
I loved the plot, characters, voices and suspense. It kept me entertained and engaged so much that I binged it over a couple of days and was disappointed when it was over! I’m so impressed.
FirstPeter via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/03/23
Love this! I cannot wait for more episodes!
KMANN018 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/01/23
A funny, twisty dark academia story with a real emotional heart.
