Paper Girls Season 1 Ending Explained (In Detail)
Warning: This article contains spoilers for Paper Girls season 1.
Amazon's Paper Girls TV series is remarkably faithful to the comics — but its dramatic Paper Girls season 1 ending sends the show in a completely different direction. Inspired by the award-winning comic book series by Brian K. Vaughan, Cliff Chiang, and Matt Wilson, Paper Girls is an unusual series that combines sophisticated temporal mechanics with young-adult drama. It plunges a group of four twelve-year-old girls into a time war.
At heart, Paper Girls is a story of intergenerational conflict. The Old Watch strive to preserve the timeline, while the next generation — the STF Underground — attempt to change it. The STF Underground view the Old Watch's model of time as far too convenient to be true, given that it secures their own power base. Unfortunately, the STF Underground is always on the defensive, operating in the shadows of history as they attempt to undermine the Old Watch. Their adversaries are both ruthless and brutal, as the Paper Girls learn over the course of season 1, as they desperately attempt to flee through the timeline.
