Seventeen-year-old Alyssa wants to find her father. Seventeen-year-old James wants to kill Alyssa. While he works up the courage, he may as well help her find her dad. They then embark on a journey together, but life on the road isn't easy – and neither is being a teenager.
I love the ride-or-die relationship between the two main characters-- like in every other coming of age story, they are teenagers getting themselves in trouble, but this show's definition of "trouble" is definitely more extreme than most. Every episode a new thrilling experience, The End of the F***ing World just never gets old. The music is another great thing about this series--there are a lot of unforgettable needle drop moments!
While the original premise for this series can be off-putting for some viewers (it certainly was for me at first), The End of the F***ing World endears itself to you through the complicated and messy humanity of the two protagonists. The show finds a way to be funny, charming, endearing, and thrilling all at the same time, keeping you invested throughout the short series.
