Astrid and Lilly Save the World

I LOVE this show. Shades of Buffy and Angel, which I adored, and great heroines. Acting, story lines, cast is great. I'm now an almost 60 year old and still enjoy this genre. This is my new favorite next to Resident Alien.

I look forward to new episodes. Hopefully they give this show a chance to catch on. I watch on DVR as do many, so pay no attention to live ratings. They are meaningless in today's 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.

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.

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.

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.
