Review of Paper Girls

Paper Girls (2022)
5/10
An honest review
14 May 2023
When this show started, the first 4 episodes were like a rollercoaster. So much happening that it was a bit hard to follow. The premise of the show good: 4 girls meet on a paper route and somehow time travel together. The storyline really bolts full speed ahead. Until episode 5, then things take a very bad turn and the show slows down to almost a very boring, very long, very dreadful "feelings" theme. I was not expecting that. I clearly felt that some other director or screenwriter had taken over. Going into episode 8 (the final episode), things are so unhinged that the ending is completely not well written, nor does it explain things.

I completely understand why Amazon didn't order a second season. It was messy and all over the place in the second half of the season. It could've been a good multiple season story, but now we will (probably) never know. Don't expect to get all the answers from the ending.
