Isn't love sweet?

Adapted from Charles S. Forsman's graphic novel, Netflix's The End of the F***ing World is a sardonic love story that uses black humor like confetti—which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Each episode runs close to 20 minutes and the story feels like it was meant to be binge-watched in one sitting. Again, that's not a bad thing, just something to note about the actual storyline concerning a young boy named James (Alex Lawther), a self-proclaimed psychopath (who's grown bored of killing animals and wants to graduate to something bigger, i.e. humans) and a teenage girl, Alyssa (Jessica Barden), who has an attitude, bad temper, and desperately wants to be in love. They both hate everything and they both have desires one another can fulfill. Can you see where this is going?
