Let’s face it, we all know a Stanley or two! You could argue that if it felt firmly rooted in the 2010s without hearkening back to the eighties and upwards, it wouldn’t feel believable. From the outset, Netflix’s I Am Not Okay With This establishes something violent and visceral in its future: Sydney Novak, played by Sophia Lillis, runs down an empty street covered in blood. Whether youre watching Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Legion or Sex Education, you might notice a mixture between old and modern technology. Ambiguous time periods are a new trend for television shows. The soundtrack features the likes of Prefab Sprout, Echo & the Bunnymen and Aztec Camera which help fuel the vibe reinforced by visual references to John Hughes efforts, with one episode directly inspired by The Breakfast Club. WARNING: The following contains spoilers for I Am Not Okay With This Season 1, streaming now on Netflix. Many of the outfits in I Am Not Okay with This are straight out of decades past, but there is an ambiguity in real life too.Īlthough there is lots of great music being made today, to teenagers it’s worth noting that all music is new and most take it upon themselves to listen to older material. Popular culture thrives on nostalgia, whether in cinema, music or fashion. After the End of the fucking world with its beautiful and masterpiece first season followed with the second one different in tone and a bit flowed in my opinion but overall fine, I am not okay with this was the only show capable of delivering the same tone of teenager drama in a witty colorful and funny way although they are very different shows. The question isdoes that mean the two Chuck. Sometimes you’ll walk around and feel like you’re in the eighties or nineties yourself… if not for the sea of smartphones. Yup, Sydney Novak (Sophia Lillis) exists in the same warped world as The End of the Fing World’ s James (Alex Lawther) and Alyssa (Jessica Barden). She is yet to recover from the psychological wounds of her father’s mysterious passing.
