The End Of The F***Ing World

Offering a new ending (that"s not really an ending) and a new story (that"s a lot like the old one), Charlie Covell"s sequel season proves the worrywarts right.

“The kết thúc of the Fucking World”

Speaking literally, this is what “The end of the Fucking World” fans who didn’t want to see a Season 2 were most worried about — rewriting a great, sad ending in order to tell a longer, less effective story. Và what happens next is both less effective and seemingly designed to keep going into Season 3. It’s easy to watch. It’s well-acted, especially by Lawther. It’s even touching in small moments, when it’s not being manipulative. While Covell keeps the episodes at tight, less-than-30-minute clips & lets his characters mature into the wiser rebels they were primed to lớn become at the kết thúc of Season 1, everything that happens in Season 2 feels primarily focused khổng lồ keep telling a story that refuses khổng lồ engage with its original self.

In the beginning, what James & Alyssa fight khổng lồ escape is reality itself; theirs were so horrid that illegal road trips with psychopathic boys intent on killing you (or rude, demanding girls who wanted to use you for your car) seem like enticing alternatives, and what they found in each other was the same thing they found in themselves. The love saved them, even when it was too late lớn save them.

The same can’t be said after Season 2, & worse yet, there’s even less lớn be said besides bitching about the over of this “Fucking World.” Continuing Alyssa và James’ odyssey in friendlier pastures neutralizes the urgency and power of their original endeavor. Forcing more drama onto them after they’ve left only feels forced. It’s a lose-lose scenario, và while I’ll always contend there’s a good way khổng lồ keep telling many stories, this isn’t it. Season 2 is an empty shell of an epilogue that still usurps what it should be propping up.
