'Paper Girls' on Amazon Prime Video: How star Sofia Rosinsky became award-winning producer at young age

All the eight episodes have presented audiences with a riveting yet brilliantly well-made story of four young girls who unknowingly get caught with a warring group of time-travellers and because of that chaos they suddenly end up travelling to futuristic world of 2019 and end up meeting their grown up versions, which makes them question their past, present and future as well. These girls go through a myriad of emotions in the show wherein they lose some of their loved ones as well.  That makes them realize the severity of this situation and how the irreparable change in the timeline between past and present because of villains who have been engaged in a chase to kill them has endangered the entire world and mankind at large.

The girls stick together and battle it out with enemies. They end up getting almost hunted down by Prioress (Adina Porter) who has a change of heart and lets them live in their world peacefully but sacrifices her life to save them and dies at the hands of the curly haired man and his army of villains who want to destroy the world.

Ever since all the eight episodes have been dropped today, fans have turned Twitter into a live tweet fest. They all have been raving about how the series is making them cry and get all emotional about the girls' fates.
