Paper Girls

Just binged half of this with my son in one sitting and we both enjoyed it alot. The story is intriguing and really packs an emotional punch. Excellent child actors too.

The comics came before stranger things for everyone who starts their review with this comparison.

The actors are perfect for their roles The colours and tones of the show aren't cheap.. They are a replication of the comic tone and style.

The only similarity about the two shows is that the main characters are kids/pre-teens in the 80s... that's literally the only thing. Also, this comic apparently came about before Stranger Things.. so no, it is not a knock-off.

I enjoyed the show, it was more of a coming of age teen drama imo with a fun sci fi back story. Yes, time travel has been done before , but this has its original spin. I think the actors did well, and yes, they were annoying at times... but that's because they are supposed to be 12. 12 year olds are annoying.

I found this show a fun and refreshing watch.

Should not be compared to "Stranger Things" completely different genre. The cast is great, if at times the characters are annoying. The time wars thing was very secondary to the overall series. Still worth watching and you are always wanting to know what is going to happen next. A Saturday matinee type of thing.

Watched in 3 days. Great job to see girls taking the lead.

Good fun, realistic, tension

Each character meeting it's future self was the key.

There will clearly be a series 2.

I'm 59 year old white male if that makes any difference.
