"The End of the F***ing World" is a strange and endearing series about two British teenagers who befriend one another for very different and perhaps extreme reasons. Recently added to Netflix, the show follows the lives of James and Alyssa, both of whom are outcasts at school and within their families.

Hoping for something more than the mundane life she's been living, Alyssa befriends James, hoping that he will bring some excitement into her life and perhaps develop a more intimate relationship with him. While James also has an interest in Alyssa, he is not so preoccupied with dating and sex as much as he is interested in committing his first human murder.

He sees Alyssa's sudden interest in him as an opportunity for him to kill her. A self-proclaimed psychopath, James has spent his childhood killing animals. Because he doesn't seem to feel anything, he jumps to the conclusion that murdering an actual human is the next step for young a psychopath. Therefore, his motive to kill Alyssa isn't personal, but simply out of convenience.

As the story and their relationship progresses, the two find themselves genuinely liking each other, something which is more of a surprise to James. He no longer feels the urge to kill her, however, his murder plans are far from over.

Though somewhat quirky and confusing, it is easy for the view to find themselves sympathising and rooting for the two protagonists despite everything they do or say. The series has just been renewed for a second season, so for now, their world isn't over yet.
