4. I Am Not Okay With This

Stealing its pair of central stars from Stephen King’s IT, the critically acclaimed 2017 horror blockbuster, I Am Not Okay With This luckily also carried over the fun “teen drama meets genre fare” tone of that film.

Elevated by two charming turns from Wyatt Oleff and Sophia Lillis, the genre-bending sort-of sci fi mystery manages to bring together tonally disparate elements from a variety of genres and somehow succeeds admirably as an offbeat and appealing left-field coming of age story.

Albeit one with a lot more telekinesis than most entries in the genre allow for.

Essentially Carrie if our heroine had a more normal upbringing and a cute, dorky neighbour with a crush on her, this series sees Lillis' protagonist gradually uncover her nascent powers whilst also trying to navigate the pitfalls of adolescence.

Like this list's number one pick, this one comes with a killer soundtrack you'll soon find yourself addicted to, too.
