It's not easy being outcasts at Pine Academy but at least Astrid and Lilly have each other. One night, the bullying escalates too far and the girls have had enough. Their sadness and fury accidentally open a portal to a terrifying and quirky monster dimension. Now, not only do Astrid and Lilly have to navigate high school, their families and their crushes, but they also have to vanquish a bunch of terrifying monsters with the help of their guide Brutus and their hilarious new superpowers.

If you, like me, enjoy sci-fi that is sometimes silly, sometimes cheesy, and always full of heart with badass chicks at the center of the action, you should join me in the adventure that is Astrid & Lilly Save the World. Go to Full Review
Judy Berman TIME Magazine 01/27/2022
What makes Astrid & Lilly unique is the authenticity of its lovingly written, endearingly portrayed outsider heroines. Go to Full Review
Caroline Framke Variety 01/26/2022
There's never really a doubt that Astrid and Lilly will save the world. But if you're a young teenager who hasn't gotten to see someone who looks and acts like you be one of TV's Chosen Ones, it might be fun to see how they do it. Go to Full Review

It’ll make you want to put on your jammies, open the cereal, and hug your inner moppet. However, it’s not going to satisfy you if you’re looking for something deep and meaningful. Go to Full Review

The two friends make an endearing pair of irreverent heroes in this over-the-top tale of average teens learning to kick some serious monster butt. Go to Full Review

04/01/2022 Love the representation and the wittiness of the script! Litterally obsessed with the fortwell ship and hopefully we will get a second season to continue to rejoice in monster hunting and see where it will lead our caracters! See more 03/20/2022 Hope this show keeps going See more 03/04/2022 Episode 6 Toenails with Principal Varshidi possessed is my favourite by far!!! So good! See more 02/11/2022 This show is everything! Characters are lovable. Can't wait for new episodes! See more Emily B 02/06/2022 I love that both the leads are plus size! The representation is amazing!! Young fat girls everywhere need stories like these. See more 02/04/2022 2 leads are cringeworthy actors. No idea why they felt the need to hire such awful performers. PROTIP: charismatic actors can in fact, play talentless losers. You dont need to actually cast talentless losers. Anyone who says "forced inclusivity" (or whatever the buzz term is nowadays) is what's ruining hollywood is off the mark. IMO, it's this apparent practice of "hire the first person who fits the physical description" plaguing so many productions these days. No need to assume just because you're casting a character who is overweight or an otherwise visible minority that you'll have to settle for subpar acting. Plenty of awesome unconventional looking actors out there. From new(ish) faces like Raven Goodwin and Alex Newell to veterans like Mo'nique. Some of the best in the biz are visible minorities. Anyway, that's enough of my personal gripes with Hollywood. The bad acting is far from the only problem with this show. Aside from the interesting premise, it doesn't really have much else going for it. I'm not sure why there's such a huge disparity with the audience score here and on other sites but the general consensus elsewhere is the show sucks and I'm inclined to agree. TL;DR: Interesting premise let down by bad acting and pretty much everything else. See more Read all reviews
