Paper Girls (2022)
Mediocre (Fast Food hangover warning)
17 November 2022
Very uneven. Some okay parts, some terrible parts.

-annoying characters.

-ridiculous circumstances and character behaviour. Especially in the last episode. If your in imminent danger, or a window is closing, no one would act this way. Especially not kids. I wont say more than that to avoid spoilers -kids had acting potential, but the direction was likely amateurish.

-if you're going to do special effects, at least try to do a decent job. Again, last episode fails miserably here. I felt like I was watching claymation from the 60s. Im usually pretty easy with special effects. I dont think special effects need to carry a story. But this stuff was very jarring. So much so, that it pulls you out of the story. Ive thought lots of other shows'/movies' special effects content was decent when others say it's sub par. So if Im saying it's bad....well....

Im actually sort of okay if this series was cancelled. There was just enough good here to get it's hooks in me. And Im a sucker for any pre 1995 content. But it's like eating fast food. It never feels great after consuming. So Im glad I wont be tempted further only to be continuously disappointed at the end of an episode.
