So I just ended up watching an entire 8 episode series in one sitting. It’s named as “End
of the F***ing World”. The series is a teenage drama but it stayed with me all
along the entire time I watched it, so much so that I wrote this little piece right
after I ended up watching the last and the final episode of this Netflix original
drama.
This is not a spoiler neither does this write up qualifies entirely to be a review of the show.So assume,its neither a spoiler nor a review . Today was one of my low days. You
know some of those few days when you feel you just want to leave everything and probably don’t have a plan for a little while or maybe just don’t do anything at all. Well
I was technically working from home and I did try to finish up some pending
work but this show just stuck with me and I couldn’t stop once I started
watching it.
Two teenagers ,uprooted family backgrounds, the guy supposedly
a psychopath and the girl with unresolved anger. All of it sounds like a sad and
a gloomy drama. It was more than that about the show which made it unique and compelling enough for me to pen down my thoughts about it.How two
unknown people with similar backgrounds come close to each other and save each
other is the underlying theme of the plot all through the entire show. The
soundtrack of the show is also to look out for.
I guess we all need a James or an Alyssa in our lives after
all right?Someone to save us from the world and from ourselves when things sometimes don't seem to work out the way you wanted or thought of.Someone to
cuddle with in the middle of the night.Someone
to help you feel things and feelings you never felt or you though you could never
feel.Someone to feel free with and to be truly yourself with at the same time.James and Alyssa make an intriguing,weirdly odd yet a comfortable couple who tend to grow on you over time during the course of the show.I loved the show and though I said earlier,this is not a review but I would definitely recommend watching this one.
Ps: Do listen to the song “Hard feelings” by Lorde with editing of certain memorable scenes of the show and the track “Laughing on the outside” by Bernadette Carrol once you are done watching the show
