Paper Girls follows four young girls who, while out delivering papers on the morning after Halloween in 1988, become unwittingly caught in a conflict between warring factions of time-travelers, sending them on an adventure through time that will save the world. As they travel between our present, the past, and the future - they encounter future versions of themselves and now must choose to embrace or reject their fate. An emotional adventure in which the girls and the women they eventually become are tough, their friendships are authentic, and their journey through time is epic.
The show had potential, but in the end couldn't deliver IMHO. I wish I had given up after 3 episodes. Really surprised that it got 7.3/10 @ IMDb.

in a review od Amazon dud shows the UK Telegraph said this "From Muddled Earth to towering inferno, Amazon's adventures on the small screen have gone distinctly subprime lately (meanwhile, it has cancelled its best new show – Stranger Things-esque time-travel caper Paper Girls)." Wow
There's already a forum thread, and it's linked on https://next-episode.net/paper-girls - I'll merge both threads. Please check the show page before creating a new thread in the future. :)

Saw this on Prime and started watching it a few days ago. I'm up to episode 6 now. While I can't say it is the greatest show but it's done okay. The actress (Adina Porter) that played Indra on The 100 plays a baddie in this show. I guess the character Indra was a baddie at first on The 100.
It might be geared more for the teenage viewers a lot like The 100 is/was.
I'm in it for the long haul I guess unless it becomes distasteful, but so far it's ok and kind of interesting.

Yeah, I'm not sure what the age group this was aimed at.
The main characters are 12, plot is predictable and the CGI questionable so maybe its for young kids/adults.
Personally, I enjoy some of the low effort stuff (I may be too easy to please) so I can just sit back and watch without having to think too much.
Some shows try to hard and get really convoluted and unnecessarily complex. If you're not in the right mind space to watch it's just wasted time.
Paper Girls definately doesn't try to get complex!

Imo it's awful if you are not 10, tho there are some funny moments, that future Asian and the code that was shown on the left side when she activated that gadget is on the same level as that meme where somebody types in Excel to disarm a bomb :D
