Paper Girls

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.

I was confused when I saw this as a TV series since the graphic novels don't seem easily adaptable. However, it seems to work and the changes made somehow make the storyline flow better. The 4 lead actresses were very well casted; they're exactly as I imagined when reading the books. The adult cast is... meh. I'm sad Tiffany's husband wasn't written as goth like in the book (that is one the change that shouldn't have been done).

This tv series could've increased the black humor a tad more to match the comics.

Also, another vote here for people to stop complaining about a book (turned tv) series supposedly go into the future to steal the Strangers Things idea. Good grief. This show tells the story without the obnoxious, in your face 80s pop culture references.

Very entertaining! I really like this tv series, it's interesting to watch all protagonists judge themselves on what they've become. A must Watch. I wasn't sure at the beginning but it captured my attention from the get go, I also like that all the characters personalities are so different and yet they do get along (most of the time).

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.

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.
