The End Of The F***Ing World (Channel 4 2017, Alex Lawther, Jessica Barden)

Drama series The End Of The F***Ing World takes us into the dark world of two teenage outsiders, James and Alyssa. James is very much a loner, prone to increasingly violent fantasies about killing people. Alyssa is equally adrift despite being popular. She meets James and sees him as a kindred spirit – he however sees her as a potential victim.

The series is based on the comic books by Charles Forsman.
