Maybe I’m a sucker for coming of age stories. Maybe it was the cinematography. I binge-watched End of the Fu**ing World, Season 1 yesterday. And I loved it.
Laugh out loud funny. Great, great acting by the entire cast. Definitely on the dark side to begin with, but trended toward heartfelt near the end.
I often wonder why I enjoy coming of age stories so much. Maybe because I lived a life where I bypassed my teenage years through a haze of alcohol and drugs. Somehow, I developed empathy along the way. Perhaps it was during my turbulent childhood. Perhaps it developed through the use of mind-altering chemicals. I yearn for my adolescent years. So many feels during that period of life. This series really captured and portrayed some of those feels (and no, not the psychopathic ones).
Season 2 is out now, but I’ve heard it’s not as grand. Maybe I’ll just stop now and appreciate Season 1 for its perfectness.
Either way, I highly recommend giving it a watch.
TO BE MAD IN A DERANGED WORLD IS NOT MADNESS. IT’S SANITY.
