Astrid and Lilly Save the World

I just happened on this on YouTube. I find it to be delightfully campy, and I hope SYFY doesn't do its usual thing of canceling a show before it can even hit a stride. It's sort of reminds me of a B movie as a tv show.

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.

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.

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!
