Season 1 Review:
The issue with Paper Girls is how it drip-feeds exposition in an attempt to create mystery, a method that often leaves you confused. ... More casual viewers might not have the patience for Paper Girls’ somewhat chaotic narrative. Those who do stick around, however, will be rewarded with characters that have more heart than those tweens in Hawkins, Indiana.

Season 1 Review:
No adaptation can be perfect, but Paper Girls really doesn’t hit the mark. The fun of the comic is lost, the pacing goes from a thousand miles an hour to a slow crawl and back again in inconsistent waves, and there are times where the show seems like it’s meant for an audience around the age of its main characters.
