Season 1 Review:
As the show’s emotional swings match Syd’s various states, Lillis provides the necessary bridge between them. ... In the rare moments when Syd, Dina, and Stan get the chance to operate as a group, there’s a glimmer of what the show could be if it moves beyond these first seven chapters. Even when they’re split apart, “I Am Not Okay With This” exists in a comfortable cross-section of pace and scope that gives Syd’s story the breathing room it needs.

Season 1 Review:
The seven episodes are lean and punchy, most coming in at just over 20 minutes, which allows the characters themselves to be illuminated. ... What feels so excitingly fresh about "I Am Not Okay With This" is that it actually takes time to explore the rage of adolescent girls.

Season 1 Review:
TEOTFW, in its first season at least, followed a clear story arc — teen psychopath discovers his humanity — while Not Okay waters down its bittersweet saga of loss and self-discovery with unnecessary supernatural hoo-hah. ... The It co-stars have a sweet and comfortable chemistry.

Season 1 Review:
The true pleasure of the thing lies in Lillis’s wonderful performance, which manages to convey the depths and numbness of loss beneath the layers of more ordinary teenage fury and frustration all lying beneath the traditional pose of sardonic disaffection. ... There are snippets of Daria in there, Freaks and Geeks’ Lindsay (Stanley would fit in nicely with them, too), Janis from Mean Girls and Angela Chase, linchpin of the much-lamented My So-Called Life. And you might catch the occasional whiff of Heathers, too.

Season 1 Review:
In an alternate universe there’s a version of I Am Not Okay With This where the series was 12 episodes long rather than eight, where they had time to properly explore all the things going on in Sydney’s life and where a strong series builds up to a satisfying conclusion rather than suddenly getting really interesting around episode six. Instead, we have… this. And while I absolutely am okay with this, it’s only okay – and I’m very regretful that we didn’t get the brilliant show it could have been.

Season 1 Review:
This lackluster execution of a potentially interesting idea haunts “I’m Not Okay With This” in more ways than one. The two standout story twists — i.e. Sydney’s powers and understanding of her father’s death — develop too slowly given that the season only has seven episodes in which to explore them.

This is not ground breaking but is well worth a watch and it will be interesting to see where it goes in Season 2. Well acted and does not take itself too seriously.

This show is oddly enchanting and has you invested in all of the charecters. It is a binge drama that is definately worth your time. Its hard to talk about it without getting into spoiler territory, but I would recommend checking it out. With only 7 episodes, it is without a dout worth your time.

I found this once to be a slow burner but as it got to the end of the season it really got together and ended was an amazing cliff hanger!

Entertaining and engaging, somewhat predictable and I feel the authors ahve definitely written themselves into something of a corner.
