Astrid and Lilly Save the World

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.

It's an amusing show to burn the brain cells. You'll chuckle. It's fresh and funny satire. Though, I don't understand the costume choices for the characters. It's the corniest of the 1980s outfits.

A very fun new show with a ton of promise. The leads are wonderful and the show has some really clever ideas that they're exploring about Chosen One narratives. I can't believe how many people have decided to post a review after watching "three or four minutes" - give this one a chance and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. Big points for a predominantly female/non-binary creative team, too.

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.
