It's funny, if not clamorously so; superbly acted, by a bunch of people you never heard of; and good-hearted, without being Hallmark-ish.
Thanks to a young-adult cast that’s rarely off-key (except intentionally, in the case of the amusing Liebling), as well as strong direction from Mohan and Ry Russo-Young (Nobody Walks), the series strikes a lively, lighthearted tone, even as it sensitively plumbs its protagonists’ longing, loneliness, and desire for acceptance and companionship.
Everything has easy laughs and even easier cries, with a fair bit of filler in between (it’s another example of Netflix bloat). It’s all punctuated with relentless reminders of its late 1990s period--Columbia House mailers, VCRs and Discman players, “Seinfeld,” Hot Pockets, “Run, Forrest, run.” When a character checks her Tamagotchi, it’s time to surrender.
Everything Sucks! isn’t likely to become a classic, but with its binge-friendly short episodes, it may be perfect for viewers who want something that won’t demand a ton of time.
A title like “Everything Sucks!” just sort of hangs out there like a piñata, begging for someone to finally say “Yes! It does!” and follow through with the critical equivalent of a baseball bat. That would be grossly unfair, of course, even if the show’s flaws do deserve exclamation points. What does work is awesome.
In a debut season that eventually frames itself within the shaky alliance between the dweebs of Boring High’s A.V. club and the self-styled outsiders of the drama club, there’s a lot to Everything Sucks! that never gels.
Everything Sucks is "Stranger Things" with everything unique sucked out of it.
