I was pulling for this, but bad acting, unbelievable characters, plus waste of a good actor given a ridiculous character ruined it for me. Even trying to like the unlikable characters didn't work, as they were written thinking they would come across impressive, and maybe some of the youngest members of the target audience were impressed or "inspired"(?).

The very likable young Erin deserved an older self that at least could act! Ali Wong was terribly disappointing. Tiffany's older self was likable, unlike young know-it-all smart as(s) any scientist Tiffany.

Mac became more likable in the last episodes, when she actually acted her age, instead of oh-so-exaggerated streetwise white trash loner, which was totally unbelievable. JK was my favorite character played by the best of these young actresses Fina Strazza. Looking forward to see what other projects she'll take on. But sadly, her future self was made the designated LGBQT etc character. Larry's character is mostly believable, and one of the likable ones. Having never read the comic book, I have no idea what the Grand Father.was supposed to be like, so I don't know if Jason Mantzoukas plays him accurately or not. Whatever the case, I was disappointed seeing such a good actor in such a ridiculous role.

Yeah, the cliffhanger season end didn't work on me. This is another series I won't be following. Someone compared Paper Girls to Stranger Things and Yellow Jackets. Too bad PG didn't have the some directors, writers and casting directors.
