Sex Education meets Stranger Things in this exciting new Netflix series

I Am Not Okay With This is going to be your new Netflix obsession, and we are more than OK with that.

Put it this way – if Sex Education and Stranger Things had a baby, it would look a lot like I Am Not Okay With This.

The new coming-of-age (with a hint of supernatural) series is bringing the best of both worlds to Netflix next month, with all the raucous whip-smart teen energy of the former, plus all the mystery other-worldliness of the latter. 

What is I Am Not Okay With This about?

Based on the novel by Charles Forsman, the new television adaptation follows teenager Sydney (Sophia Lillis) as she navigates the usual high school awkwardness, family drama and unrequited crush of her best friend, while also trying to come to terms with her own budding superpowers.

Is there a trailer for I Am Not Okay With This?

Yes! In the official trailer, we meet Lillis’s Sydney, a self-declared “boring 17-year-old white girl”, who is trying to navigate the usual trials of puberty (boys, periods, school) while also coming to terms with her own unexplainable superpowers – understandably, it’s a lot.
