Critic Reviews

Season 1 Review:
The true pleasure of the thing lies in Lillis’s wonderful performance, which manages to convey the depths and numbness of loss beneath the layers of more ordinary teenage fury and frustration all lying beneath the traditional pose of sardonic disaffection. ... There are snippets of Daria in there, Freaks and Geeks’ Lindsay (Stanley would fit in nicely with them, too), Janis from Mean Girls and Angela Chase, linchpin of the much-lamented My So-Called Life. And you might catch the occasional whiff of Heathers, too.

Season 1 Review:
In an alternate universe there’s a version of I Am Not Okay With This where the series was 12 episodes long rather than eight, where they had time to properly explore all the things going on in Sydney’s life and where a strong series builds up to a satisfying conclusion rather than suddenly getting really interesting around episode six. Instead, we have… this. And while I absolutely am okay with this, it’s only okay – and I’m very regretful that we didn’t get the brilliant show it could have been.

Season 1 Review:
The plot and story are simple, linear, and more than a little familiar, but Lillis successfully carries this first season to its gory, suspenseful ending. Without her fresh spin on how a “superhero” should behave, the show falls flat in developing anything other than a predictable path to self-acceptance.

Season 1 Review:
“Okay” suffers from the same bloat as far too many streaming shows; its 140 minutes contain at most 90 minutes worth of material. Which is too bad because Lillis is an oddly arresting actress and the use of super-powers as a metaphor for teen angst and raging hormones is at least time-tested.

Season 1 Review:
This lackluster execution of a potentially interesting idea haunts “I’m Not Okay With This” in more ways than one. The two standout story twists — i.e. Sydney’s powers and understanding of her father’s death — develop too slowly given that the season only has seven episodes in which to explore them.
