I Am Not Okay with This Trailer

Netflix has released a new trailer for their upcoming series, I Am Not Okay with This.

The show stars Sophia Lillis (It, Sharp Objects) as Sydney, a self-professed “boring 17-year-old white girl,” growing up in a small town and facing some very unique “issues.” Sydney has a lot on her plate. She’s dealing with the loss of her father, not fitting in at school, and her having a crush on her bestie. And as if that’s not already a lot to chew on, the kid also develops superpowers. What a life?!

While this story sounds ripped from an X-Men comic, the show is much more grounded; think Degrassi but with superpowers. There aren’t any city-destroying supervillain showdowns, but Sydney does experience end of the world emotional stakes because, as we all know, being a teenager in this day and age is no easy task. Take a look.

I Am Not Okay with This trailer:

I Am Not Okay with This is based on Charles Forsman’s indie comic of the same name. The show comes from the producers of Stranger Things and The End of the F***ing World, a couple series that know a thing or two about delivering riveting coming-of-age dramas.

I may or may not have already caught a few episodes of this show (make of that what you will). All I can say is that I’m all on board, and I can wait for I Am Not Okay with This to hit Netflix on February 26.

I Am Not Okay with This synopsis:
