Imagine if Wes Anderson decided
to remake Bonnie & Clyde after
binge-watching Skins and you’ll get a
rough idea of what you’re in for with The
End of the F***ing World. Slightly misleading title aside (despite the
hardly upbeat tone, no actual apocalypses are involved), this British pitch
black comedy sees two maladjusted teenagers – she’s an impulsive rebel, he’s a
closet serial-killer in the making – embark on a road trip to escape their
disenfranchised existence. Expect whip-smart interior monologues and earnest
soul-searching coupled with the odd burst of blood-soaked violence and a hefty
wallop of gallows humour. It’s that kind of show.
Verdict: 4/5
Where to find it: 4oD, Netflix;
