I am not okay with the way I Am Not Okay With This ended. Seriously, Netflix? Season 1 of Jonathan Entwistle and Christy Hall’s new show was fantastic, but it’s only seven episodes long and each episode has a runtime of less than a half-hour. Two of the episodes are only 19 minutes long! Sophia Lillis stars as Sydney Novak, a teenage girl who was already having a tough time navigating the perils of small-town high school life following the death of her father when she makes a startling discovery: she has superpowers. The terrified teen must now come to grips with these mysterious new powers that she can’t control. Even worse, they only seem to materialize when she’s very angry, which leads to an incredible climax in the final episode. Then, at the worst possible moment, the season just ends.
The entire first season has a runtime of 156 minutes including credits, which means it’s basically a movie that you watch in one sitting. I need more! What happens next?! I’m all for cliffhangers, don’t get me wrong, but the story could have definitely developed a bit more before the first season came to a close. That said, it really is a wonderful show. Lillis is outstanding, her costar Wyatt Oleff turns in a terrific performance that’s like a modern Duckie from Pretty In Pink, and Jonathan Entwistle’s directing is superb. I Am Not Okay With This clearly has the same vibe as Entwistle’s other popular Netflix show, The End Of The F***ing World, and it tops this week’s list of series you should be watching.
