Paper Boys
Daren (pictured) lives in San Francisco, where he and his fiancée Rebecca are planning an engagement party. Cole, Daren’s best friend, flies out from New York for the party, but also secretly to move to San Francisco, having lined up a couple of job interviews but no actual job nor a place to live. Cole bumps into an ex, Max, complicating the scene. Of course, there are several other complications to the plot, but I won’t give you any spoilers, except to say that Cole has a sketch pad that turns out to have magic superpowers.

The characters are interesting and complex, and the magic sketch pad certainly opens up interesting plot possibilities, of which we see a small sample in the first two episodes. The series is engaging and funny, well worth seeing, although I confess I’m not exactly in a hurry to add yet another pay site to my entertainment sources. Highly recommended.
