The End of the F***ing World is probably the most well-executed show I’ve ever seen.

Posted by bgrant902

There’s just nothing I would change. It’s so insanely good, both seasons. The general consensus I’ve seen is that the first season is incredible and the second season loses steam. Maybe I’m the 10th dentist here but I think the second was equally as brilliant. I haven’t seen a show that kept me thinking about it for weeks the way that TEOTFW has. If you enjoyed TEOTFW, what else did you like? I’m looking for more stuff like this.

It was actually meant to be a one-season show, but it was so popular that the studio made the creator produce another. He was really against it, but ended up producing a really fantastic second season under the circumstances. Check out I Am Not Okay With This, which is made by the same creator and has a really similar vibe (be warned though, it ends on a huge cliffhanger).

I would like to add, that I Am Not Okay With This was the first #1 show to be on top 10 trending when it came out. (Netflix rolled out the feature around the same time the show did)

I'd take your warning even further and say I Am Not Okay With This is the poster child for "Surf Dracula". The entire season felt like it would have been the pilot of a series back in the day.

I've never heard of it but have added it to the watchlist having seen this post. One of the best shows I've seen is "Mrs Davis" with Betty Gilpin. It's so beautifully done, all in one series.

His other show kaos was insanely good too. And they cancelled it.... was literally the reason I dropped my Netflix account. That show was in the top ten most watched, hugely well recieved and still they dropped it.

Don't really root for couples to be together, or ship them as they call it, but really wanted the two leads to get together in the end. They were perfect for each other. It's not the same tone exactly, but I felt Sex Education had somewhat of a similar vibe to TEOTFW.

two4you8 Apr 23, 2026 +6
Wow what a crazy coincidence. I just finished making a video edit and posted on youtube as my first video yesterday. I thought do people still think about this show other than me? I'm glad this post answered my question. I'm the type of person that roll my eyes at love scenes in almost everything. But somehow this show hits me so differently. I think deep down we all want that "ride or die" partner to do mischief with.

Haha I’m the same way. Usually hate this stuff but it was done so well.

> I think deep down we all want that "ride or die" partner to do mischief with. Well said. It's just one of the thing inherent in us, a desire to have a partner and go adventuring.

If y'all enjoyed this one i'd also recommend [Wayne](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sP0AXfYlg8E). It is sweet and violent and was a wonderful watch.

I agree! I thought the second season was just as good or maybe even slightly better and overall it’s one of my favourite shows of all time When someone asks for a quick-ish show to watch it’s always this or Love, Death and Robots I recommend

Naomi Ackie is all-time good in Season 2. It was the first time I’d ever seen her in anything and I was blown away by her performance. When she was cast in Star Wars I was really excited to see what her character would be. Suffice to say that was quite a disappointment… But she is a phenomenal actress.

I could never get into that show and I was the target demographic back then. I guess it felt too edgy and try hard at the time. Like it was treading water already swam by Heathers and others.
8
bgrant902 Apr 23, 2026 +6
I was initially pushed away by that edgy vibe until I realized it’s from a place of self-awareness and that’s why it’s technically a dram-com.

I'll have to give it another try!

Olliebkl Apr 23, 2026 +1
As the years have gone on and when I rewatched it not long ago, season 1 (especially the first 2-3 episodes) are quite try hard when it comes to being edgy, I’d just recommend sticking through it! As the episodes go on I feel it maintains some edginess but executes it a lot better with it never really feeling out of place Still hugely worth a watch!!

I never heard or read this expression anywhere "10th dentist". Where is it from ?

bgrant902 Apr 23, 2026 +4
Referring to the famous ads that always say “9 out of ten dentists recommend.” It means to be the odd one out essentially or have an unpopular opinion.

Wayne as others have recommended. Not that similar really but if you loved ITEOTFW that I would recommend sex education and fleabag. And also the film Dinner in America.

I did a set visit on I Am Not Okay With This, and as an inside joke for the cast, there was a newspaper on the kitchen table with a headline all about the kids in TEOTFW. (both Jonathan Entwistle projects). Made me smile.

Season 1 was amazing. Season 2 was enjoyable but not good enough to justify overwriting the perfect ending to season 1.

Ajeeb_bakwas Apr 24, 2026 +1
without any spoilers, does it have a proper ending as it was cancelled? just don't want to get invested and then end up without a conclusion
1
bgrant902 Apr 24, 2026 +2
Complete proper ending! I actually applaud that they didn’t milk 8 seasons just because they knew how good it was. That’s why I think it’s so well executed. I’m not sure what a season 3 even would entail because they tied up the loose ends.

I never finished the second season because I felt it was too slow. I'll revisit it and see if I feel differently.

Swarm, with Dominique Fishback. Only one season. It was pretty original. Very dark but also skewers pop music fandom. Created by Donald Glover. Speaking of Glover, Atlanta is a fantastic series as well. Great writing and cast.

I tried watching this but it made me feel so unbelievably sad, I genuinely felt so melancholy after 2 episodes I could keep watching. It’s obviously good but I need to be in a good place if I try to watch it again
1
rodbrs Apr 24, 2026 +1
That was great, but I would rank season 1 as better (even though I liked both). In general I think it is just far easier to set up juicy beginnings than it is to wrap things up. Or maybe it's my own bias and I just prefer the time of promise, rather than the end.

bgrant902 Apr 23, 2026 +2
I thought the plot of season two was just as good. The storyline of them running from the cops ended in season one and I think so many people are mad that they had to make it different, but if they would’ve made them run from the cops again it would’ve been reviewed poorly for being repetitive. I honestly thought season two was as good as it could have possible been.
2
fandango1989 Apr 23, 2026 +1
I thought the opposite, the plot of season 2 seemed so much more ridiculous with a ton of murders and then with the cop investigating it basically was a murder mystery and the stuff in the diner. With the car breaking down and them being stuck in the town it was just too convenient and felt like a c**** plot device. Season 1 felt a lot more tight and focused and having it a more intimate plot felt better. Season 1 also felt much funnier and the first couple episodes I was legit LOL at the perfect mix of dark comedy. I felt season 2 got away from that and leaned a lot more into the murder/crime/thriller aspect and wasn't very funny at all. Season 2 wasn't bad, it just felt it lost much of the magic of the first season.
1
bgrant902 Apr 23, 2026 +1
I see what you’re saying but there’s few holes there. The car didn’t just “break down.” Bonnie popped the tire because she was trying to get them stuck there. I don’t think it’s convenient for someone trying to kill you to pop your tire or disable your vehicle, that’s a pretty common story actually. And the only murders I can think of were the two committed by Bonnie? Clive’s other GF and the hotel guy, which were both there to show how Bonnie acts in situations like that, one being intentional and the other unintentional. It foreshadows how she will act when it comes down to the wire with James and Alyssa. Maybe I’m forgetting other murders tho.
1
fandango1989 Apr 23, 2026 +1
That's fair as it has been like 6-7 years since I've seen the show I had to look up a few things as I was going from memory. The car did break down because of the punctured tire, the two convenient things I was confused it for were that when driving they HAPPENED to run into and pick up the person who is seeking their revenge on the side of the road. Then whey they have a flat tire, sometime that can usually be fixed relatively easily, they conveniently need to wait a full day and are stuck. Then the part where she drops the gun and that happens to go and kills the person on accident, another "convenient" moment. The first season felt more grounded as the characters struggled and grappled with killing someone, but this one having a murderer trying to stalk and kill them it felt a bit more flippant with it. It just felt more stalker/crime focused and too over serious especially with the diner scene with the cop and everything really trying to build tension, but any of the sense of dark comedy seemed out the window. The tonal shift left me disappointed as I found the first season to be surprsingly hilarious while also f'd up at the same time unlike any show I'd seen before, and the only thing close to that I can think of would be Barry.

bgrant902 Apr 23, 2026 +1
I definetly agree with the gun part cause that is ridiculous, I always just viewed it as necessary to show Bonnie’s reaction. I get what you’re saying with then happening to run into her, I just always assumed that since she was stalking them that she had done it on purpose and probably tried a few times to get on their route. I guess enjoyment kinda depends on how much you’re willing to assume. I write it off tho cause the show is so short. They spent time showing why Bonnie was after them, I just figured it was a waste to show every step of how she got to them. Definetly depends what kind of watcher you are though! I can totally see how that would bother some people.
