Series Review: I Am Not Okay with This (Netflix)
Series Blurb:
Sydney is a teenage girl navigating the trials and tribulations of high school while dealing with the complexities of her family, her budding sexuality, and mysterious superpowers just beginning to awaken deep within her.
My Review:
Characters
Characters were great. A bit cliché, but clichés exist for a reason.
Plot
Simple, didn’t try to be more than it was. Definitely not an epic, think smaller scale.
Flow
Overall, can’t complain. Good, bingeworthy episodes that flow into one another pretty flawlessly.
Overall Impression
To be honest, I skipped over this series the other day due to the misleading cover. This show seemed like some kind of contemporary romance (*vomit*), but it’s actually about a young woman with supernatural powers and her struggles.
I’ve been a huge fan of Sophia Lillis since her part in IT, but I’m telling you this series was truly great so far! The plot was simple and didn’t try too hard. I really appreciate that with all the shows we have at our disposal nowadays.
I watched this in one go. Yep, the entire thing. Episodes are short at 20-ish minutes each and flow really great into each other. The action, mystery, and characters were great, and I can’t wait to see what happens next! Let’s hope they have like 100 more seasons, because I’m hooked.
If you have two hours to kill, definitely watch this one!
Final Score
9/10

I loved her in IT. Sounds interesting. Great review.
Me too. Definitely worth a try. I’m just sad it wasnt longer
Wouldn’t it be cool to wake up one day and realize you have burgeoning superpowers?:-)
Um heck yes! I’ve always dreamed of what it would be like. *sighs and states dreamily into the distance*
