Based on the comic book series by Charles Forsman, "The End of the F...ing World" sees two 17-year-old outsiders, James and Alyssa, embark on a road trip to find her estranged father, who left home when she was just a child. James, who is convinced he's a psychopath, has decided it's time to graduate from killing animals to something bigger -- and he already has a target in mind. Alyssa, the embodiment of existential angst, feels like she doesn't fit in at her new school despite being quite popular. Together, they get caught up on a trail of violent events that grow increasingly more ominous as their quest progresses.

Critics Consensus

Misanthropy and humor pair perfectly in this romantically nihilistic show that proves that falling in love can feel like The End of the F***ing World.

The surprisingly effective British show is one of 2018's earliest surprises. Go to Full Review Mike Hale New York Times 02/15/2018
End has the edge in writing, acting -- especially by Ms. Barden -- and ambition. Go to Full Review Emily Nussbaum The New Yorker 01/29/2018
At once a joyful watch and a morally destabilizing one...The End of the F***ing World evolves into something much rarer, a convincing teen-age romance. Go to Full Review Jonathon Wilson Ready Steady Cut 11/03/2020
4/5
Their crime spree becomes a roadmap to a kind of emancipation; freedom from the confines of the personas they had built for themselves when nobody cared to listen to who they really were. Go to Full Review Carlos Frigo Cultured Vultures 10/08/2019
7/10
The End of the F***ing World proves to be a tight, striking dramedy that reminds us of the crazy, scary old days. Go to Full Review Alberto Carlos Espinof 08/01/2019
The series is so indie in its style and format as it is flat and superficial. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Patrick S @PatrickStruik Dec 15 A rush of blood to the head. See more Thabo M Sep 26 Just 1 f...ing nice series. Loved it❤️ See more Emrah G @Emrah Aug 13 This is one of the best love stories I have seen on TV. James and Alyssa are well-developed characters. The elements of wit, romance, and thriller are combined very well. Jessica Barden's performance is especially amazing. See more Sara B @Sassypants25 Apr 18 An incredibly dark comedy with the extraordinary Alex Lawthor and Jessica Barden. We go from blunt and bold to charming and touching. This was the most unexpected surprise that I’ve seen in a long time. These stylized portrays of teenagers on the run that has so much heart and so many nuanced moments. I really felt a lot from beginning to end. See more Aydan A 01/29/2025 the score, the character dynamics, the feeling you get when you're watching...this show is SUCH a relief. See more Nivin N 12/27/2024 It’s a sick show, you would feel not comfortable at all in every single minute and the fake British accent is just bad ! See more Read all reviews
