Paper Girls TV Thread

Watched the first episode and enjoyed it.

Also watched the first episode and it was very pulpy, but also distinctly adult with its blood and liberal swearing. So despite it cast it's definitely not one for actual kid audiences. Ended on the very hook the trailer threw out early on; the first episode entertained me enough to make me want to watch more so can't argue with that. The Stranger Things vibe is hard to miss, even if this is technically the older original work.

The kid actors were all excellent though; pretty natural acting, each with their own personality quickly established and carried off well. The tearaway kid was so obviously modelled on Terminator 2s John Connor, it was kinda distracting in places.

I watched it by chance. It was surprisingly good in terms of story/character progression. There were a couple of times the special effects looked a bit low budget, but other than that an enjoyable show especially on the character side.

Was a bit shaky at the start, say, the first 2 episodes, but I loved it by the end. Really hope it gets a season two, and a much bigger budget!

The soundtrack was very good.

Highly recommended.
