It’s funny, and it’s sweet; it’s violent, and it’s romantic. Its leads are both reprehensible and totally sympathetic; both scared kids and responsible adults. It seems the mark of an honest production that the characters are arrestingly recognizable--and revealed so thoroughly to the audience that judging them feels impossible. By the end I was unsure if I wanted them rounded up by the authorities or free to go out in a blaze of glory; the only thing I was sure of was I wished there were more episodes.
End has the edge in writing, acting--especially by Ms. Barden--and ambition [over Everything Sucks!].

World has some terrific set pieces, such as the duo’s sloppy robbery of a gas station, and some dull patches, such as a meeting with Alyssa’s father late in the series that almost drags the story to a halt. But overall, James and Alyssa are ultimately two people we care about, and Lawther and Barden give exceptional, subtle performances.
The thing that The End of the F***ing World smartly does is never let you forget that Jim and Alyssa are like wild animals you think you have tamed, at any moment they might turn on you and bite. Also, kudos to the series for its offbeat selections of songs.
Ultimately, and in the most absurd (and therefore enticingly watchable) of manners, The End of the F***ing World is a heartwarming romance.
These eight riveting short episodes are out of this world, a binge made in adolescent hell. [8-21 Jan 2018, p.13]
World's stylistic editing and internal narration gives it a cool, zippy vibe, and the fast pace propels it forward. Its smart structure, with genuine surprises and cliffhangers, makes it an addictive binge-watch, and the episodes' 18- to 22-minute running time makes it a particularly easy one.
I don't why people and reviewers seem to like this show so much. The performers are all competent. The cinematography is great, though sometimes it felt more like Canada than Scotland.
But, the writers are bad writers who thing they are good. The plot is tortured and relies on ridiculous coincidence to force personal growth. This plot was a reboot of a coming of age drama. This series started out promising, but kept getting worse.
This show isn't bad, but it is overrated. There is a lot of good TV out there, and a lot of better shows are getting much less attention than The End of the Fracking World.
Report
SEASON 1
I didn't expect anything from The End Of The F***ing World. A dramatic comedy of teenagers whose episodes are of maximum 22 minutes and with one of the boring main actors in the world as Alex Lawther is.

SEASON 1
What I enjoyed:
+ Filmography;
+ Actors/Acting
+ Scenery
What I didn't enjoy
- Not a comedy
- Lack of moral
- Disturbing
- Teenagers against adults
- We already have enough real world stories on the news about teenagers stabbing in school, stabbings in uk, stabbings in usa, shootings, killing, stealing, slang speech.. that I dont think this not a good influence for teenagers suffering the same type of metal disturbances. Producers should be more cautious about what their art direction and who's the aiming of their audience.
