Editors' Picks: Our Favorite Things From the Week of Jan. 142 of 14
Trending Show of the Week
Since launching internationally to Netflix streaming audiences earlier this month, "The End of the F***ing World" has gathered significant critical and popular momentum. The British dark comedy series, which actually premiered this fall in the U.K. on broadcast, is a riotous adaptation of the Charles S. Forman comic book of the same name. The show's rebellious storylines and sharp teenage characters have struck a nerve, especially on IMDb, where fans have made the series the third-most-popular title on the site. Naturally, the show's two leading actors find themselves at the top of this week's STARmeter: Alex Lawther, who plays 17-year-old James, charts at No. 4 while Jessica Barden, the talented actress who stars as Alyssa, finds herself at the No. 1 spot for the first time in her career.
