One of the most recent original Amazon series could be the best one yet for the Amazon Prime Video service. It centers on a woman in New York City in the late 1950s, who decides to become a stand.
While it's taken a bit of time to get here, Amazon Prime's series adaptation of Brian K. Vaughan (Saga, Ex Machina) and Cliff Chiang's (Wonder Woman, Human Target) best-selling graphic novel Paper Girls has found its four leads. Deadline Hollywood is reporting exclusively that Sofia Rosinsky (Fast Layne), Camryn Jones (Cherish the Day), Riley Lai Nelet (Altered Carbon), and Fina Strazza (A Christmas Melody) are set to front the project, which is expected to begin production in Chicago later this year. Produced by Amazon Studios and Legendary Television, in association with Plan B. Stephany Folsom (co-writer, Toy Story 4), Christopher Cantwell (Halt and Catch Fire), and Christopher C. Rogers (Halt and Catch Fire) will serve as executive producers, with Folsom and Rogers also serving as co-showrunners
In Amazon Studios' Paper Girls, four young girls (Rosinsky, Jones, Nelet, Strazza) who while out delivering papers on the morning after Halloween in 1988, become unwittingly caught in a conflict between warring factions of time-travelers, sending them on an adventure through time that will save the world. As they travel between our present, the past, and the future- they encounter future versions of themselves and now must choose to embrace or reject their fate. Here's a look at the released character descriptions:
![Girls Amazon Prime Girls Amazon Prime](/uploads/1/3/7/5/137531291/817470697.jpg)
Mac Coyle (Rosinsky): A working-class Catholic girl, Mac is the first paperboy in Stony Stream who isn't a boy. Mac inherited the paper route from her older brother, someone for whom she has undying loyalty and love… which might be the wrong place to put it. Mac's toughness however is no act, she has a sharp tongue and quicker fists. Like most bullies, Mac is perhaps masking a deep well of insecurity. Usually a loner by choice, events conspire to cast Mac as the unlikely leader of our Paper Girls on Hell Day 1988.
Tiffany Quilkin (Jones): The only child of success-oriented, mixed-race parents, Tiffany has big plans for her future and no intention of seeing them derailed. While she is at times willing to improve on the truth when in a tight spot, there is no denying that Tiffany is crazy smart. She boasts an encyclopedic knowledge of pop culture, a love of gadgets and technology. She has been delivering papers for a little over a year.
Erin Tieng (Nelet): A dutiful daughter, sister, and yes, newly-minted newspaper employee, Erin often feels caught between worlds. On the one hand, she's a dual-language immigrant with deep Chinese roots, on the other, she's an All-American kid on the verge of her teenage years who desperately wants the TV-perfect life she often sees depicted in the Western culture all around her.
KJ Brandman (Strazza): KJ is one of the only Jewish girls in Stony Stream and comes from the wealthiest family in town, two things nobody will let her forget. It is perhaps only when playing field hockey that she feels truly seen – an image that conflicts starkly with her mother's desires for her. KJ is guarded, sensitive and underneath her veneer, emotionally roiling. She doesn't need the paper-delivery job, but it makes her feel free.
Every generation gets the desert island fantasy it deserves. Amazon Prime begins streaming 'The Wilds,' a 10-episode mystery aimed at young adults.
Comparisons to 'Lost' are both obvious and a bit unfair. The use of the castaway story to explore deeper themes dates back as far as Daniel Defoe’s 1719 novel 'Robinson Crusoe' and Shakespeare’s 'The Tempest.'
'The Wilds' unfolds in flashbacks as police interrogate different high-school-age young women who had been stranded on a remote island after a plane crash. All of them were gifted and smart, from families affluent enough to send them to a women’s empowerment weekend called 'The Dawn of Eve' in Hawaii.
As in many YA novels, the characters reflect archetypes. There’s the princess, the brain, the driven jock, the Christian girl, the angry, heavy-set antistylist. Don’t forget the twins.
'The Wilds' makes no effort to hide its contrivances, yet remains compelling and bingeable. While it unfolds with separate stories, the narration unfolds in an omniscient fashion. And while much is made of the 'traumas' that beset these rich girls both before and during their island misadventure, they are uniformly articulate and remarkably self-aware for angsty teens.
Rachel Griffiths stars as one of the girls’ parent, a force behind 'The Dawn of Eve.' I won’t say more.
While watching this, I recalled an old ABC show called 'The New People,' which debuted in September 1969. It was about a planeload of young people stranded on an island that conveniently housed an abandoned but well-stocked military base. Rather than descend into 'Lord of the Flies'-style savagery, 'The New People' contemplate an Aquarian dream. It was only a month after Woodstock.
This contrasts with the young women on 'The Wilds,' sent on a journey of 'self-discovery' on their parents’ dime and still very much under their thumbs. The puppet strings grow stronger as the story continues, but I don’t want to spoil things here.
In the opening flashback to the crash, the very first thing a girl does after nearly drowning is to search in vain for her phone.
