Paper Girls (TV Series)

I have not read the comics this new series is based on, though I did read others by Brian K. Vaughan (Y: The Last Man, Ex Machina, Runaways and Pride of Bagdhad). While not knowing how close or distant the tv series is from the comics, I did think the characters were recognizably Vaughan in origin, and some of the plot twists were, too. Still, I can only judge the version on screen which I have just finished watching.

Overall, very engaging. The premise - our heroines, four twelve-years-old girls from different parts of society who make some cash by distributing newspapers early in the morning in 1988 and live in a Cleveland suburb are through a key plot device whisked off to their future where they run into their older selves and have to contend with various agencies at war with each other - above all provides a set up for superb character drama. ( More spoilery observations abound. )

In conclusion, I really liked it, and am glad I had the chance to watch before Sandman drops tomorrow and is bound to sweep all my attention away.
