Everything Sucks is a genuine treasure if you enjoy coming-of-age dramas set in the 1990s. This Netflix original series created by Ben York Jones and Michael Mohan transports us back to a simpler era when grunge music, VHS cassettes, and high school weirdness were all the rage.

A group of outcast teenagers are the focus of the show as they struggle with adolescence, first romance, and self-exploration. They decide to make a movie together as they deal with the typical issues of adolescence and growing up.

Everything Sucks will win you over with its enticing characters and evocative setting, taking you back to a time when life was both perplexing and exhilarating.

Unfortunately, this series was quite short-lived as Netflix announced its cancellation just after one season. But the ending is satisfying enough that it can also be watched as a mini-series.


2) Never Have I Ever
