Reception

The Bisexual has an approval rating of 90 percent on review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, based on 30 reviews.[5] Heather Hogan at Autostraddle called the show "brilliant", adding that, "Akhavan's characters absolutely do not always do or say The Right Thing, but her writing is overflowing with compassion".[6] Clarisse Loughrey at The Independent gave the show four stars out of five, opining that the show is "what British comedy needs to break through the stereotypes and move forward".[7] Lucy Mangan of The Guardian described the show as "neither funny nor dramatic", giving it only two stars out of five.[8]

In February 2023, TIME named The Bisexual as one of the Best TV Rom-Coms of the Streaming Era.[9]
