With Charles Forsman's hit graphic novel The End of the Fucking World already turned into a hit Netflix series, 2020 will see the Netflix debut of the series adaptation of another Forsman classic, I Am Not Okay With This, starring Sophia Lillis (It) as Sydney! Sydney seems like a normal 15-year-old freshman. She hangs out underneath the bleachers, listens to music in her friend's car, and gets into arguments with her annoying little brother -- but she also has a few secrets she's only shared in her diary. Like how she's in love with her best friend, Dina; the bizarreness of her father's death; and last but not least, there's those painful telekinetic powers that keep popping up at the most inopportune times. Forsman expertly channels teenage ethos and ennui in a style that evokes classic comic strips while telling a powerful story about the intense, and sometimes violent, tug of war between trauma and control.
