Netflix's New Teen Show in 2018
Everything Sucks! is Netflix's new show streaming and it's had controversially reviews. It has been compared to Stranger Things despite being a totally different genre. I for one like a show, which relies on an era. It must be the 80's child in me or something. Using time warps are cinemas gift to us. It's a worm hole and any show or movie can harness the power of using music and set designs from when ever they wish. I love the 80's so go ahead keep using their original ideas and bring them to life. And the 90's were cool too.
When 'Suck' is in the Title
The show uses it's title to make fun of itself so nice try critics. The 90's generation has been called a weird, sucky generation. But sometimes counter culture is cool. When I put on the twenty minute show my expectations were low and my mind was open. The songs blasted me off to the fifth dimension. The premise was about a closeted teenage girl who hides behind her pretend boyfriend. Who can't relate to that? Especially in the 90's. Hiding was the name of the game.
Light Hearted is the Winner Here
In the end Everything Sucks! wins because it's light hearted and original in the 21st century. Think if: Save By the Bell and Freaks and Geeks had a baby, you'd get this show. I give major thanks to Netflix for producing it and all the creators for having the balls to go up against the 80's. Being compared to the 80's is like: the coolest thing going up against something confused. In this case I like being confused and time warped. It must be the reason why we loved beanie babies so much.
