Your next TV fix?
Netflix have brought a Channel 4 black comedy The End of The F***ing to their platform, and it’s a brilliant show which should not be missed.
While you may have heard mutterings about it when it appeared on Channel 4 last October, that’s nothing compared to the acclaim it has received since it was released on Netflix last Friday.
The End of the F***ing World follows the exploits of James, a 17-year-old who is convinced he’s a psychopath, and his classmate, Alyssa who runs away from a troubled family life alongside him.
While at the beginning, it’s difficult to feel any sort of connection with Alyssa (Jessica Darden) and James (Alex Lawther), mostly because they’re both such moody pr*cks.
But, as we learn more about the pair and their backstories become established, you’ll find that changing very, very quickly.
We don’t want to give too much away, so have a look at the trailer below and see what you think.

Does Alex Lawther look a little familiar to you? Of course he does, you’ve seen him on Netflix before if you’ve ever seen Black Mirror.
Lawther stars in the third episode of the season, called Shut Up and Dance, and is blackmailed after his laptop is infected with malware… but don’t feel too sorry for him.
Anyway, The End of The F***ing has received a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and also an 8.5 rating on IMDB.
So it’s definitely worth checking out, if bad language and inappropriate humour doesn’t offend you.
