The difference is, neither Astrid nor Lilly are the peppy Valley Girl that Sarah Michelle Gellar’s Buffy was. Ostracized by their classmates for being too big, too dorky, too passionate, Astrid and Lilly can’t imagine themselves being the star of their own show until a freak inter-dimensional accident forces them to realize they are. As the BFFs come to terms with the fact that they’ve accidentally opened a portal they need to close back up ASAP, they also start to accept themselves more than ever before. Morrison and Aucoin, relative TV newcomers, quickly sell their characters’ tight friendship, which makes up the crucial foundation for the show itself.
From Noelle Stehman and Betsy Van Stone, “Astrid and Lilly Save the World” is a warmhearted new comedy that feels like it could be an adaptation of a comic book written by Astrid and Lilly themselves. Its mysteries are self-aware and referential, and rarely hard to solve. Bullies lurk everywhere throughout the show’s candy-colored sets, but are restricted to the softest of PG insults. When the resident Cool Guy sneers that Astrid and Lilly should be called “The Pudge Patrol,” they take it hard before taking the term back as their own by episode’s end. Just about every character outside Astrid and Lilly feels like they’re playing to a studio audience, as if ripped from a Disney Channel sitcom set.
Despite the occasional gruesome death and dire stakes, it all feels rather…safe. 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.
“Astrid & Lilly Save the World” premieres Wednesday, January 26 at 10 pm on Syfy.
