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.
achei a série bem interessante, por mais que tenha a mesma história de diversos outras séries e filmes.
só de bater o olho me lembra um pouco o "the end of the **** world"; o fato de os personagens quase não utilizarem seus celulares e outros aparelhos, faz parecer que se passa nos anos 80, principalmente pelo fato de uns dos personagens adorar músicas antigas e ter um daqueles aparelhos para tocar os discos de vinil
The themes the series tackles aren't inherently novel or unique, and Sydney can be a frustrating heroine at times, but I'd argue that's the point and also why the show ultimately succeeds as a vehicle for teenage ennui.
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.
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.
The new show, on the other hand, has barely gotten going when the finale ends, and its concluding chapter raises some intriguing questions for a potential sequel. Hopefully, a follow-up will offer a more robust story befitting the righteous anger of its heroine.
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.
A show that showed a lot of potential early on but faded late. Still would of loved to of seen a second season as it had developed a solid base from which to build.
I thought this was a decent show. I don't think it merges the two sides of this world very well. It feels more focused on the normal teen drama side than the supernatural side. But it's cute and short enough that it doesn't feel like a huge waste of time. I'm willing continue on with the show to see where it takes us in Season 2.
