Everything Sucks! Doesn't Live Up to Its Name

(Entertainment Review) by Caitlyn C., sophomore

On February 16, 2018, Netflix released an American comedy-drama show named “Everything Sucks!”  A
parody of teen culture in the 1990s, it’s a short, but extremely interesting series to watch.
The show is set at Boring High School with a main character named Luke.  Luke and his friends, Tyler and
McQuaid, move on up to high school and join the AV club.  Luke then develops a crush on Kate, another
member of the AV (audio-visual) club. Luke’s crush on her helps Kate realize a lot about herself.  Luke, Kate,
McQuaid, and Tyler begin to start trouble with the drama club. They try to bring peace between the clubs,
but end up joining them to film a movie, which results in a lot of conflict.

Everything Sucks! is an easy series to finish with thirty-minute episodes.  There are only ten episodes
for one season, so I completed the show pretty quickly.  Personally, I found it to be fun and it made me want
to continue watching. I think that it can relate to anyone because it covers so many important topics, such as
the LGBT community, mental health, growing up, and discovering who you are. I would recommend this series
to anyone looking for an enjoyable, heartwarming show!
