Review: ‘The end of the f*cking world’

The end of the f*cking world is the newest Netflix hit series, which launched the fifth of January on the platform. A short series, with only eight episodes each twenty minutes, something you can easily watch in one night and oh dear, do I encourage you to do so!

It is, in my opinion, one of the best, if not the best, show you can watch right now. In it you follow James and Alyssa. James: a quiet boy who thinks he is psychopath and Alyssa: a girl who is fed up with her life and just, as many other teenagers, wants to escape. So they do, they steal a car and begin their trip. You follow the two teenagers from broken homes on a bizarre journey in which the development of their characters and their relationship is being shown through the course of insane actions.

This show has it all, it is hilarious at times, extremely dark at others and somehow also manages to touch you. It is the best portraying of teenagers since the catcher in the rye, showing two lost teenagers who just do not fit in and act out differently. James kills animals as a hobby and Alyssa wants to sleep with everyone right away. At first the characters may be a little annoying, but once you are passed the awkward stage, you have completely fallen in love with the duo and even relate to the characters, even if one says he is a psychopath and wants to kill the girl he is on a trip with.

The end of the f*cking world is a marvelous show, with great scripts and grand performances by the actors and the directors. I guess all that is left to say is: start up Netflix, cause you definitely do not want to miss this!
