New Netflix series, “Everything Sucks” drops tomorrow. The premise looks similar to Freaks and Geeks, but set in 1996. The trailer is kinda meh as far as acting goes, but I will give it a shot because I’ve been wanting a good 90s throwback series like this.

Man, TFW the cranberries started playing. I feel like they botched the execution here, though.

Yeah that’s a pretty bad trailer, and the casting looks weak, but it was created by two guys one of which was the writer behind like crazy & breathe in, 2 movies I really like. So I’ll give it a shot.

I’ll give it a shot simply for nostalgia sake but that seemed really terrible. Like they way overdid it with the “hey guys it’s the 90s!!!” Schtick

Freaks and Geeks was much more organic than that

That was my high school years and although the cast looks terrible and the premises were definitely on the extreme side, it did make me feel nostalgic.

This looks terrible, like a middle school version of Saved by the Bell or something.

High school movies should revolve around sex, drugs, and music.

This looks like a bunch of awkwardness, cheesiness, and cliches.

Looks awful. I loved how they crammed interracial relationships in there as well, not to mention the awkwardness of two kids dating when their parents are also dating. Yikes.

I can appreciate people trying to cash in on nostalgia, especially considering the success of Stranger Things. But this looks terrible, and barring some great reviews/recs on here, this is a hard pass for me.

Im five episodes in. It’s not bad if you can get through the first episode.

Just watched the first episode.

Ate up with all the shite that is shoehorned these days.

First ep focuses on a black kid that is pretty great and his crush on a girl that is revealed to be a burgeoning lesbian at the end.

You can run but you can’t hide from this horseshite.

It is ruining everything.

I just finished the season and I would recommend it. It got better as it went along.

Show hasn't been nearly as bad as I thought from the previews. I was really expecting it to be awful but wanted to give it a shot since I grew up in the 90s.

It isn't amazing, but it is pretty decent. A bit cheesy at times.

I watched the first several episodes, but I had to quit because almost every scene is a cringe.

Watched 2 episodes and I'm done. Each was good for a half smile now and then, but it just wasn't funny.

I find the 2 white nerds to be over the top and unlikeable. The white lesbo is too unattractive with too deep of a voice. The interracial relationships are too forced - I loved the 90s, but forcing today's social issues into it just doesn't work.

Also, where are the jocks and cheerleaders? Those 2 drama kids walk around like they own the school - their heads would've been flushed daily back at my school.
