" ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2 This is such a good show! I’m going to say one of 2022’s most underrated. I thought it might be too teen for me then I saw that Ali Wong is featured which gave me the final push to give it a go. So it’s got everything, in short sci fi 80s throwback, coming of age angst drama while time traveling during a time war placing our paper girls at ground zero for saving the world. All of which makes for some real existential stuff for a group of 12 year olds. It should be more popular but I can see how it isn’t. Let’s face it, we’re used to plucky little boys in this scenario not gritty pre-teen girls. This is entirely real-girl femme based sci-fi. Had I known that beforehand, or that there would be giant fighting robots I might’ve gotten to it sooner. But glad I finally did. "
"This was an absolutely excellent series, primarily female cast and absolutely no sexualized content, which is rare. A group of diverse young women find strength in each other and themselves and get fully realized characters. The writing and directing is mostly very realistic and lets these young women be fully realized human beings instead of plot devices. There were some instances where it was obvious there was male influence in the writing/creative process because the characters do things that females simply would not have done. But for the majority of the series I found myself elated to see such empowered young women."
