Are you kidding me? Do you really think that we&#8217;re buying the idea that you&#8217;re trying to resonate with the rebellious teenager in all of us though this trashy film? Give me a break! How many teenagers, even in our day, consider punching out their parents, stealing the family car and then running off with their pretend girlfriend, so they can knife her to death? You morally disgusting perverts and haters of all that is decent even portray this as being normal in choosing average looking actors to play the part. This is\u00a0morally repugnant!<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">And what about all the broken and hurting kids out there that do have legitimate mental health problem because of their broken families, the bizarre mores they&#8217;re\u00a0being force fed from their schools and society, and as a result of all the pre-scribed and non-prescribed drugs they&#8217;re taking? Instead of reaching out to help these kids, you (i.e. Netflix) are giving them yet another reason to act out their lower nature aggressions and angst, and then excusing your actions by calling it &#8220;entertainment.&#8221; Shame on you! We&#8217;re not fooled. We know that you hate God, the Bible and family.

She\u2019s his unwitting target with a destructive agenda of her own.<\/div>\n<p>\u201cThe End of the F***ing World,\u201d a TV series that premiered Friday on Netflix, joins a growing number of shows exploring the fringes of adolescent tumult. Among them: \u201cRiverdale\u201d (The CW), which plunged the gang from Archie Comics into a noir murder mystery; \u201cRunaways\u201d (Hulu), in which a group of high schoolers balance everyday angst with a friend\u2019s death and burgeoning superpowers; and \u201c13 Reasons Why\u201d (Netflix), a teen suicide drama that made waves last year in schools and families.<\/p>\n<div class=\"paywall\">\n<p>Even \u201cStranger Things,\u201d Netflix\u2019s sci-fi series set in the 1980s, tapped into the trend by pitting a group of prepubescent children against a horror from another realm.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe it\u2019s due to an evolution of teen storytelling tropes, a reflection of uncertainty and anxiety in the real world, or an effort by producers to match the mind-set of young viewers who have already seen it all on the internet\u2014but the genre is processing harsher stuff than the high-school crushes and crises that typified \u201cSixteen Candles\u201d and other hormone-steeped classics of past generations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s more of an appetite to go to darker places,\u201d says Charlie Covell, who wrote the \u201cEnd of the F***ing World\u201d TV series. She says teens are grappling with many of the same issues they always have\u2014alienation, confusion, familial discord. Now, though, there\u2019s an \u201copen forum\u201d for exploring them thanks to an explosion of content and a blurring of lines among genres.<\/p>\n<div id=\"realtor\" class=\"wsj-body-ad-placement\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"media-object inline scope-web|mobileapps inline\" data-layout=\"inline \" data-layout-mobile=\"\">\n<div class=\"media-object-image enlarge-image renoImageFormat-P img-inline\">\n<div class=\"image-container responsive-media loaded\" data-mobile-ratio=\"66.6161%\" data-layout-ratio=\"66.6222%\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"James and Alyssa (Jessica Barden) go from odd couple to runaways to fugitives from the...\" src=\"https:\/\/si.wsj.net\/public\/resources\/images\/BN-WW364_TEEN01_P_20180105173903.jpg\" alt=\"James and Alyssa (Jessica Barden) go from odd couple to runaways to fugitives from the police in \u2018The End of the F***ing World.\u2019\" data-intent=\"\" data-in-base-src=\"https:\/\/si.wsj.net\/public\/resources\/images\/BN-WW364_TEEN01_P_20180105173903.jpg\" data-in-at4units-src=\"https:\/\/si.wsj.net\/public\/resources\/images\/BN-WW364_TEEN01_H_20180105173903.jpg\" data-enlarge=\"https:\/\/si.wsj.net\/public\/resources\/images\/BN-WW364_TEEN01_M_20180105173903.jpg\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"wsj-article-caption\"><span class=\"wsj-article-caption-content\">James and Alyssa (Jessica Barden) go from odd couple to runaways to fugitives from the police in \u2018The End of the F***ing World.\u2019<\/span> <span class=\"wsj-article-credit\"><span class=\"wsj-article-credit-tag\">PHOTO: <\/span>NETFLIX<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cThe End of the F***ing World\u201d is based on a graphic novel published in 2013 by an American author and artist, Charles Forsman. Executive producer and director Jonathan Entwistle\u200b developed it as a TV series for Netflix and the U.K. network Channel 4, which aired it last fall. Its eight episodes come in binge-able installments of about 20 minutes each.<\/p>\n<p>The TV series starts in a bland British suburb, where Alyssa (played by Jessica Barden) and James (Alex Lawther) are outsiders who use each other to test the identities they\u2019ve invented for themselves. She acts the part of a promiscuous rebel. He considers himself coldblooded, a serial killer in the making.<\/p>\n<p>The show shifts perspectives between the two characters, using their inner monologues to highlight the disconnect between what they say and what they think. As Alyssa and James go from odd couple to runaways to fugitives from the police, the story turns into a modern Bonnie-and-Clyde tale. Songs by Hank Williams, rockabilly singer Wanda Jackson and others bring echoes of past eras.<\/p>\n<p>If the show\u2019s title doesn\u2019t immediately weed out squeamish viewers, the opening scenes could, as James describes a childhood of numbness and killing animals.<\/p>\n<div id=\"unruly\" class=\"wsj-body-ad-placement\">\n<div class=\"wsj-body-ad \">\n<div id=\"wsj-body-AD_G3\" class=\"wsj-responsive-ad-wrap wsj-ad-article-body\" data-ad-options=\"{&quot;adId&quot;:&quot;AD_G&quot;,&quot;adUnitPath&quot;:&quot;\/2\/twitter.wsj.com\/lifestyle_art_televisionstory&quot;,&quot;adSize&quot;:[[2,2]],&quot;adSizeMap&quot;:null,&quot;autoRefresh&quot;:false,&quot;adTargeting&quot;:{&quot;metazone&quot;:null,&quot;msrc&quot;:null,&quot;circ&quot;:&quot;fullarticle&quot;,&quot;bkuuid&quot;:&quot;f\/3k\/veu99yebpos&quot;,&quot;p39&quot;:null},&quot;disableRefresh&quot;:false}\" data-tracking=\"twitter.wsj.com\/lifestyle_art_televisionstory\" data-is-logged-in=\"\" data-google-query-id=\"CKnqndjhw9gCFQjHZAodyy0KUw\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>But the tone is more cartoonish than grim, with breezy narration and whimsical montages that seem to reference Wes Anderson films like \u201cRushmore\u201d and \u200b\u201cThe Royal Tenenbaums.\u201d\u200b<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not a laugh,\u201d Ms. Covell says, \u201cbut it\u2019s a wry moment that let\u2019s you say, \u2018OK, this is a comedy.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"media-object inline scope-web|mobileapps inline\" data-layout=\"inline \" data-layout-mobile=\"\">\n<div class=\"media-object-image enlarge-image renoImageFormat-P img-inline\">\n<div class=\"image-container responsive-media loaded\" data-mobile-ratio=\"66.6161%\" data-layout-ratio=\"66.6222%\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Jessica Barden, right, and Christine Bottomley in The End of the F***ing World\" src=\"https:\/\/si.wsj.net\/public\/resources\/images\/BN-WW363_TEEN01_P_20180105173903.jpg\" alt=\"Jessica Barden, right, and Christine Bottomley in The End of the F***ing World\" data-intent=\"\" data-in-base-src=\"https:\/\/si.wsj.net\/public\/resources\/images\/BN-WW363_TEEN01_P_20180105173903.jpg\" data-in-at4units-src=\"https:\/\/si.wsj.net\/public\/resources\/images\/BN-WW363_TEEN01_H_20180105173903.jpg\" data-enlarge=\"https:\/\/si.wsj.net\/public\/resources\/images\/BN-WW363_TEEN01_M_20180105173903.jpg\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"wsj-article-caption\"><span class=\"wsj-article-caption-content\">Jessica Barden, right, and Christine Bottomley in The End of the F***ing World<\/span> <span class=\"wsj-article-credit\"><span class=\"wsj-article-credit-tag\">PHOTO: <\/span>NETFLIX<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>It\u2019s not the first black comedy to mix teen emotion with homicidal urges. \u201cHeathers,\u201d a 1989 film starring Winona Ryder and Christian Slater as star-crossed sweethearts who bump off high-school classmates, has been remade as a TV series that will appear on the Paramount Network in March.<\/p>\n<p>Ms. Covell, 33 years old, says it wasn\u2019t difficult to get back into the adolescent mind-set as she wrote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a rule, everybody struggles as a teen, so the inner monologue is fairly indelible,\u201d she says. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t take much to tap into those old insecurities and paranoias.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"evernoteSiteMemory\"><a href=\"javascript:\" onclick=\"Evernote.doClip({title: 'Shame on Netflix!
