“#Astrid & Lilly Save the World Season 1 Episode 2 Review: Teeth<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

Syfy’s new show’s quality ticks up a bit during the second outing.<\/p>\n

Astrid & Lilly Save the World Season 1 Episode 2 sees our heroes face off against another well-executed monster.<\/p>\n

Razor, a monster who can only shapeshift into women, feeds off of Astrid and Lilly’s classmates’ testosterone, turning them into piles of goo (possibly skin?).<\/p>\n

\n

\"Lilly<\/img><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Gross monster goo has app<\/a>eared in both episodes so far, and we wouldn’t mind if that would become a recurring thing.<\/p>\n

The design of the goo always does its job: it grosses us out.<\/p>\n

The grotesqueness also distracts from the limited-budget effects (and it works pretty well).<\/p>\n

Sadly, Astrid and Lilly don’t like dealing with the gross stuff, but we love it as viewers.<\/p>\n

\n

\"Lilly<\/img><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

The monster-of-the-week format works well for these characters.<\/p>\n

That format combined with the over-arching storyline of closing a portal (Buffy, anyone?) isn’t anything new, but their execution works.<\/p>\n

The aspect that helps this wild show work is the performances.<\/p>\n

The two actresses playing Astrid and Lilly ace their roles, and their strength and dedication elevate the show significantly.<\/p>\n

But it’s not just Astrid and Lilly: The entire cast dedicates themselves to these roles.<\/p>\n

\n

\"Sparrow<\/img><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Throughout Astrid and Lilly Save The World Season 1 Episode 1, we doubted the necessity of other characters, especially Brutus.<\/p>\n

Luckily, Brutus proved to be useful throughout “Teeth”: helping the girls with their current monster and with a bit of love advice.<\/p>\n

Brutus seems to be a man that heavily believes in love.<\/p>\n

\n

Brutus: True love is the most important thing in any dimension. So what you need to do is ask him out! Nothing crazy, just see if he wants to leap a few craters, skin a zordnuk: basic first date stuff… Right. Humans. I’m assuming human boys like confidence just as much as monster girls, so grab the Brutus by the horns!
<\/br>Lilly: Why are you so into this stuff?
<\/br>Brutus: Because love is a battlefield.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

He guided Astrid with some pretty sound advice regarding her crush on Sparrow, a boy in her school.<\/p>\n

He also guided the girls in some confidence-boosting exercises.<\/p>\n

\n

\"Sparrow,<\/img><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Brutus finally proved his worth, but not in the way we expected.<\/p>\n

He did help the girls with Razor, their many-toothed monster, but he also helped when the girls doubted their abilities.<\/p>\n

\n

Lilly: So the monster’s name is Razor? That doesn’t sound safe.
<\/br>Brutus: It’s not. It refers to its 23,371 teeth, which coincidentally is the monster part you need to retrieve.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Our heroes were down on their luck and seriously questioning how effective they’ll be as monster hunters.<\/p>\n

Brutus immedia<\/a>tely jumped into action to console the girls, and he helped them gain some of their confidence back.<\/p>\n

This side of Brutus came out of nowhere, but we could not be more grateful for this development.<\/p>\n

\n

\"Lilly<\/img><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Brutus went from seeming to be pretty darn useless to pretty darn helpful.<\/p>\n

The girls’ renewed confidence didn’t come from him, and he helped them see it within themselves.<\/p>\n

The monster disguises herself as an average human, so they had to use their unique skills to help solve the mystery.<\/p>\n

Their patrolling (what they call their past time, which is essentially stalking their classmates) skills helped them find their current target.<\/p>\n

However, another issue arose when they found the monster, questioning their role as monster hunters.<\/p>\n

\n

\"Sally,<\/img><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Their doubt didn’t last long, as Astrid played the extraordinary anti-Razor oboe melting the monster into goo (also possibly a blob of skin).<\/p>\n

The doubt stemmed from the monster’s goals.<\/p>\n

She fed herself with the biggest bullies from Astrid and Lilly’s school.<\/p>\n

The muscular jocks bully everyone different from them at school, and they make the perfect meal for the testosterone-hungry Razor.<\/p>\n

Astrid and Lilly got bullied by these jocks and doubted if they should conquer this monster.<\/p>\n

\n

\"Sally,<\/img><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Wouldn’t getting rid of the bullies be a good thing?<\/p>\n

\n

Razor: Think about it. Those boys? Those cruel, muscle-ridden boys? Do they really make the world a kinder place?
<\/br>Lilly: That’s not the point.
<\/br>Razor: Isn’t it? wouldn’t we be better off without bullies like that?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Their doubt didn’t last long.<\/p>\n

They realized that even though these jocks were terrible bullies, they didn’t deserve to be fed off of and turned into gooey piles of skin.<\/p>\n

\n

Brutus: True love is the most important thing in any dimension. So what you need to do is ask him out! Nothing crazy, just see if he wants to leap a few craters, skin a zordnuk: basic first date stuff… Right. Humans. I’m assuming human boys like confidence just as much as monster girls, so grab the Brutus by the horns!
<\/br>Lilly: Why are you so into this stuff?
<\/br>Brutus: Because love is a battlefield.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Before Astrid and Lilly save the day, she managed to feed off two of their classmates days before, introducing one of the show’s most significant flaws.<\/p>\n

No one talks about the dead\/missing kids!<\/p>\n

\n

\"Mr.<\/img><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Hopefully, somewhere in the rest of the season, some of the deaths\/disappearances will be discussed, but as of right now, no one seems to care past a slight worry.<\/p>\n

No one asked what happened to them, just believing that some random rock climbing incident caused the jock to go missing.<\/p>\n

The only other person who understood that the recent disappearance wasn’t ordinary was Tate because he helped the girls retrieve their monster-vanquishing oboe.<\/p>\n

Speaking of the oboe, what’s with the oboe?<\/p>\n

This unique oboe makes an ear-splitting sound that took out Razor, but we can’t help but wonder (again): how did Brutus have this item?<\/p>\n

\n

\"Astrid<\/img><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Brutus always (at least, these past two times) seems to have the necessary tools to take down the monsters.<\/p>\n

How does he have these items? What is he hiding?<\/p>\n

Although helpful this time, Brutus continues to be the source of many unanswered questions.<\/p>\n

The girls finally began to question Brutus and vowed to discuss all of the information he knows.<\/p>\n

\n

\"Astrid<\/img><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Another mystery introduced itself during “Teeth”: one of their classmates confronted the girls.<\/p>\n

The astronomy-loving boy approached Astrid and Lilly right after learning that Jonas’s yearbook\/photography teacher didn’t show up to work.<\/p>\n

He accused them of knowing things others don’t and told them about a weird anomaly in the stars that he witnessed, along with the coordinates.<\/p>\n

This raises an important question: how long will people be unaware of the monsters in their town?<\/p>\n

\n

\"Lilly<\/img><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

The girls also are forced to deal with the repercussions of their actions with the principal and their parents.<\/p>\n

Astrid’s mother grounded Astrid, leaving Lilly to do a lot of the investigating independently.<\/p>\n

Even though this monster wasn’t on camera (in monster form) as much as Tearjerker was, the threat of her felt incredibly real.<\/p>\n

Brutus’ description of her, along with the flashes of hundreds of teeth as she fed, managed to make for an effective monster.<\/p>\n

The mystery of Christine’s angel monster still radiates strongly.<\/p>\n

\n

\"Jonas,<\/img><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

As mentioned, the girls learn that Jonas didn’t show up to school that day at the end of the hour.<\/p>\n

The last few seconds make for the creepiest part of the series<\/a> so far.<\/p>\n

Jonas, the photography teacher Christine had wanted to get rid of, lay on a table, getting his blood drained from him into the monster.<\/p>\n

This monster got more mysterious and gruesome as we saw body parts growing due to Jonas’s blood.<\/p>\n

This hour proved to be a step in the right direction for Astrid and Lilly Save The World.<\/p>\n

\n

\"Christine<\/img><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

The secondary characters improved, the monsters continued to be creepy, and the girls continued to be strong leads.<\/p>\n

While everything continues to be cheesy and over-the-top, the quality improved as it took itself a bit more seriously.<\/p>\n

The show needs to continue in this direction.<\/p>\n

As more people are dying, the campiness is being counterbalanced by the serious stakes.<\/p>\n

Hopefully, they managed to improve even beyond this because this was a serious quality improvement.<\/p>\n

\n

\"Christine<\/img><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
