Paper Girls: Season 1

"A surprising time travel coming-of-age story that... make(s) you care about each of the 12-year-old girls and their lives."

"The action often slows to a crawl and certain themes and cultural commentaries are hammered home again and again."

"Fans of the Paper Girls comic are likely to be as let down as I was by the series."

"Paper Girls, with its talented young cast and dedication to confronting the bigger questions raised by its premise, delivers more often than not."

"It’s all intelligently conceived and beautifully realised, and from early on it shapes up as a real winner."

"Paper Girls is maybe a more inclusive, thought-provoking coming-of-age tale (than Stranger Things) – and all the more impactful for it."

"Paper Girls walks the line between riveting and derivative, smart and simplistic, profound and hokey."

"A heartfelt portrayal of what it’s like to be 12 years old, where a single summer can feel like an eternity."

"Paper Girls’s sci-fi elements are offered up in a piecemeal manner that feels more meandering than revelatory."

"A beautifully crafted adventure story that moves at a fast pace."
