The End of the F***ing World

Loved it. Was kind of skeptical in the beginning of season one but quickly it grew on me. Season two I binged watch in one afternoon, and now I'm sad I didn't save some of it for later! I love how this show is dark without being overly creepy. I love how the dialogue is sparse and the silence really speaks to me. No grand gestures needed in the acting, which is very held back and understated in an honest but still kind of funny way. You can feel a lot of things happening under the blank and quiet surfaces of the main characters faces while the bizarre plot is developing. Great storytelling.

A different kind of show where two unfit kids go on an adult adventure. One of the few shows that was odd enough to keep my attention and making me watch episode after episode until I had realized I just spent the whole weekend finishing this series. For people looking for something more gritty and new, I'd recommend this as a watch.

I've just watched the whole series in one go and I wish there were more episodes. The writing is fabulous - witty but naive, cruel but touching.

As for the cast, there was not a single weak link, though the highest praise must go to Jessica Barden (Alyssa) and Alex Lawther (James) for perfectly balanced performances constantly moving between vulnerability and adult cynicism. If these two are not nominated for awards there is no justice.

As a show it certainly pushed a boundary or two but hopefully the title will deter those who will not appreciate this. Funny, shocking, poignant, gross and brutally honest - every aspect done with skill, style and credibility. Perfect TV.

This modern British teen "Bonny and Clyde" esque comedy/drama has me feeling so many things. All in the best way possible. The show does so many things right! Firstly, the chemistry between James (Alex Lawther) and Alyssa is something so fresh. Their match was not destined to be. What this show does really well is how it kind of sticks close to reality. Our expectations are almost never what we want them to be. The End of the F***ing World also has some great humor. Mix it all together with great casting, screenplay, relatable characters, and action...that is what you get. Fresh, Daring, New, and Thoroughly enjoyable!

I would recommend this to absolutely anyone.

When I started watcing I was pretty sure that it will be cliched story about two rebel teenagers but no, it's cast is really great, esprcially Jessica Barden and Alex Lawther. Story is great because you can't understand what's going on in James's amd Alyssa's head. This series is really very toucking and it's dramatic ending helped developing characters. At the end of the story the were absolutley diferent prople from who the have been in 1st episode. And I also have to say that soundtrack is amazing especially Ricky Nelson's "Lonesome town"
