10 Best Netflix Shows Cancelled After One Season
7. I Am Not Okay With This
If you liked The End of the F***ing World, you’d probably be a fan of I Am Not Okay With This, as both were created by Jonathan Entwistle. Which is obviously not a great thing, because this is a list about shows that were unceremoniously cut short... but let me tell you about it anyway.
Much like his other cult hit, I Am Not Okay With This is a dark comedy that revolves around Sydney, a regular teenager navigating her school life, family, sexuality, and telekinetic superpowers. You know, regular kid stuff. This is a particularly grim one for a couple of reasons. The first one being that the seven-episode season ends on a huge cliffhanger, and the other that there was in fact supposed to be a second and final season, but issues related to filming during the pandemic led to its untimely cancellation.
Though stellar performances and a fresh take on the classic high school comedy impressed critics and fans, it wasn’t enough to keep this one going.
