Astrid & Lilly Save the World

This is one of the best new series of the season. It will appeal to viewers who understand subtly and nuance... "literalists" will not understand much of the humor here.

I was delighted to see that the two Central characters are not the cliche anorexics that tend to inhabit other movies of this kind. These characters are far more real, and realistic, than most of the Stepford Wives type females who inhabit most Canadian television productions.

Most Importantly, the production has a positive message - all about loving yourself and treating others with value.

I cannot wait for future episodes.

It is a ridiculous premise, in the best way. I would have rated higher if not for the 80s style fat shaming. I feel like they could have easily made this show better without it. Otherwise I'd have rated an 8.

Only one episode down, but so far this is shaping up to be a really fun series.

Sharp smart comedy, solid friendship chemistry with the leads, and a warmth and sincerity to the writing.

It shows its budgetary limitations at times, but it also seems to revel in the b-movieness of it all, and rattles along at an exciting pace.

Definitely has that 90's early buffy vibe, but with a thankfully updated moral code.

Also worth taking a look at the demographics for imdb scores on this series. I think it's illuminating to see who is hating on this show. I hope it gets to those who will love it.

I love it, I am so here for the ride.

Horror? Comedy? Drama? Mystery? Fantasy? Honestly SyFy don't feel you knew either,just failed all around.

Sure the term"satire"can be used,still doesn't excuse the poor production quality.

People might feel this could of been better with healthier looking teens,but it was their overall poor acting.

The special effects with technology today,was generic at best.

Series is not something for young kids & not for adults,so it leaves a small demographic audience.

Remaining actors,their acting & cinematography was average.

Bottom line.. Skip this!

For the people saying the show is just fat-shaming, you obviously haven't really watched it. Yes, Astrid & Lilly get picked on by their classmates, but they refuse to buy into the negativity. They constantly uplift one another.

For the people saying the show is not funny, I think you may be missing the point that it is spoofing teen shows. They are satirizing familiar tropes. The principal & teachers kowtow to the popular kids instead of mentoring them. The "nerdy" teachers are trying to get in good with the "popular" teacher. It's funny!

Is it the best show on TV? No. But it's entertaining & silly, and fun.
