This is not your typical teenage actress series/film. I usually pass right by something with teens in the lead, but a closer read of the description intrigued me. This is a beautiful journey of discovery and is filled with so many great moments. I was utterly captivated right from the start, and it kept getting better with each episode.
It takes an amazing talent of any age to be able to carry not only one scene, but an entire series -- that is something special. Penelope is often the only character in an episode. Through her seamless acting style, Megan Stott keeps you engaged, interested and you care about her. The other characters Penelope meets along the way always have something meaningful to contribute and are a significant part of the story. Megan Stott is a name to watch for as this gifted actress is going to be making a huge name for herself. She has a wonderful screen presence and presents herself as a very seasoned actress even at this age.
This is a brilliant piece of work from the creative team and one of the best things Netflix has ever offered. I did not want this to ever end. I just wanted to continue the journey with Penelope!
