    Edgy melodrama for normies. Hated every second of it. Throw it in the trash where it belongs.

    Hey lets follow some 'rebellious, free spirited' (read: insufferable and self centred) girl and some bland PG-rated 'psychopath' on a road trip.

    On second thought, let's not.

    To be fair, I'm only on episode 4. What I think so far: Typical politically infused BS, with a weird plot (Why does everything have to have Left Wing political nuggets??)......I'm gonna give it a shot, and continue for a few more episodes. If it doesnt get better, I"m jumping ship.

    Dreadful TV series with very predictable story. Characters are bad and very cliche. only characters that are relatively interesting are the two police officers whose story is very shallow at best. Acting is very stale.

    Very typical of Channel 4s tv shoes aimed to immature and naive teenagers (coming from a teenager)

    I didn't expect anything from The End Of The F***ing World. A dramatic comedy of teenagers whose episodes are of maximum 22 minutes and with one of the boring main actors in the world as Alex Lawther is.

    What I enjoyed:
    + Filmography;
    + Actors/Acting + Scenery What I didn't enjoy - Not a comedy - Lack of moral - Disturbing - Teenagers against adults - We already have enough real world stories on the news about teenagers stabbing in school, stabbings in uk, stabbings in usa, shootings, killing, stealing, slang speech.. that I dont think this not a good influence for teenagers    What I enjoyed:

    - We already have enough real world stories on the news about teenagers stabbing in school, stabbings in uk, stabbings in usa, shootings, killing, stealing, slang speech.. that I dont think this not a good influence for teenagers suffering the same type of metal disturbances. Producers should be more cautious about what their art direction and who's the aiming of their audience.    … Expand

    Not many drama series have been adapted from comics, The End of The F***ing World is an exception. Installing the same title as the comic made by Charles Forsman, the series begins with James (Alex Lawther) who just turned 17 years old.

    End has the edge in writing, acting--especially by Ms. Barden--and ambition [over Everything Sucks!].

    At once a joyful watch and a morally destabilizing one, it bears some relationship to “Fleabag,” another dark British comedy driven by the narration of a deeply screwed-up individual, plotted so that its more compassionate themes come as a pleasant shock.

    It’s funny, and it’s sweet; it’s violent, and it’s romantic. Its leads are both reprehensible and totally sympathetic; both scared kids and responsible adults. It seems the mark of an honest production that the characters are arrestingly recognizable--and revealed so thoroughly to the audience that judging them feels impossible. By the end I was unsure if I wanted them rounded up by the authorities or free to go out in a blaze of glory; the only thing I was sure of was I wished there were more episodes.
