This is a SPOILER-FREE review of Everything Sucks!: Season 1. The series premieres on February 16th on Netflix.
Don’t let the title fool you. Netflix’s new coming-of-age drama does not suck. Set in 1996, Everything Sucks! is a quirky dramedy that tells the story of a battle between the AV and drama clubs of Boring High School. While the description might not sound as enticing as the Battle of Helms Deep in Lord of the Rings -- the series still packs quite a punch. It lives up to other high school classics like Saved by the Bell where there’s plenty of heart mixed in with a few laughs.
Everything Sucks! excels at developing its high school ensemble without going for the heightened sense of reality that 13 Reasons Why and Riverdale seem to embrace. There are no scenes with teenagers drinking scotch and martinis on a Thursday afternoon. Even when they do try drugs and alcohol, the scenes are portrayed in a way that’s authentic. Remember when Zima Beer was hot, or that time when you tried household products to get high? Well, maybe that was just me, but the kids do feel grounded in a world that actually exists.
