If we had to name the best thing about New Years, it’s got to be plethora of new movies and shows that every New Year brings along. And just like every other year, Netflix is going to stay on top of its game.
Starting 2018 with a bang, Netflix surprised us all by dropping a dark AF trailer of its new series with a name that will definitely pique your interest- ‘The End of the F***ing World’. But unfortunately, it isn’t about a doomsday story. Rather’s it revolves around two teenagers.

Now before you start thinking it’s your average teen drama, let us tell you about the plot.
The eight-episode series follows James (Alex Lawther), a 17-year-old who thinks of himself as a psychopath. After self-harm (like putting his hand in a fryer) and animal butchering, he thinks he is ready to try something new.

In order to prove to himself whether or not he’s as dark as he suspects, he comes with a goal for himself: to kill someone. He chooses his first victim, a rebellious classmate named Alyssa (Jessica Barden).

The two teenagers become friendly and decide to go on a road trip to find a better life, escaping adulthood which leads to a budding romance. However, things obviously don’t go as per plans as they cross certain lines on their chaotic journey.
