Paper Girls, the new Amazon Prime supernatural sci-fi series, is being praised for its queer representation by fans.
The series, based on the comics of the same name, follows four girls after they are snatched from the ’80s and dropped into 2019 where they navigate the supernatural, puberty and encounters with their chaotic older selves.
One of the four, KJ, also comes to realise she is a lesbian, grappling with self-acceptance, burgeoning feelings and what it means to love women. Fans have been impressed by the diversity of the show – as well as KJ, who is Jewish, there is a leading East Asian character (Erin), a Black character (Tiffany) and a working class character (Mac).
