‘The End Of The F***ing World’ Trailer: A Sinful Delight

By Victor Stiff

The Year’s most promising teenage psychopath road trip series.

I remember hearing someone say that listening to happy music can make a sad person more depressed because it adds to their feeling of emotional isolation. Likewise, listening to a sad song by say, The Smiths, can raise someone’s low spirits because it’s reassuring to know other people are going through similar struggles. Going by this logic, watching actors flash their big silly grins on The Big Bang Theory may not be the best cure for my 2017-induced malaise. Based on its title alone, an upcoming comic book adaptation may have provided the perfect remedy for my 2017-blues.

Netflix is teaming with The UK’s E4 to produce a new dark-comedy series titled, The End of the F***ing World. The series is based on Charles Forsman’s 2013 comic book series, “The End of the Fucking World.” The story centers on a 17-year old psychopath named James (Alex Lawther), and a moody teenage girl named Alyssa (Jessica Barden), who thinks James is her soulmate. The duo head out on a journey to track down Alyssa’s biological father, which leads them down a “menacing and surreal path.”
