Everything Sucks! is a Netflix original series that premiered in February 2018. Set in 1996, the show takes place in the small town of Boring, Oregon, and follows a group of high school freshmen as they navigate the ups and downs of adolescence. The series has a mix of comedy and drama, with moments of nostalgia and heartwarming scenes that explore themes of friendship, family, and first love.

The show centers around two main characters: Luke O'Neil (played by Jahi Di'Allo Winston) and Kate Messner (played by Peyton Kennedy). Luke is a freshman in high school who is part of the AV club, a group of students who are passionate about film and technology. He is hoping to impress his crush, Kate, who is also a freshman and part of the drama club. Kate, on the other hand, is struggling with her own identity and sexuality, feeling different from her peers and afraid of being judged or rejected.

As the two clubs begin to work together on a film project, Luke and Kate start to get to know each other better and develop a friendship. Along the way, they face various challenges and obstacles, including Luke's troubled family life and Kate's struggles with her sexuality. Despite these challenges, the two continue to support each other and provide a safe space where they can be themselves.

The supporting cast includes Patch Darragh as Ken Messner, Kate's father and the principal of Boring High School. Ken is struggling with his own personal issues and trying to connect with his daughter as she grows and matures. Other members of the AV club include McQuaid (played by Rio Mangini), Tyler (played by Quinn Liebling), and Oliver (played by Elijah Stevenson), each with their own unique personalities and quirks.

The drama club is led by drama teacher Sherry O'Neil (played by Claudine Mboligikpelani Nako), who is Luke's mom. Sherry is a single mom who is trying to find love and balance her personal and professional life. Other members of the drama club include Emaline (played by Sydney Sweeney) and her boyfriend, Luke's stepbrother, and several other supporting characters.

Everything Sucks! also features a nostalgic soundtrack filled with iconic hits from the 90s, including Oasis, Radiohead, and Tori Amos. The show's attention to detail is impressive, with authentic 90s clothing, technology, and pop culture references that will bring back fond memories for anyone who grew up during that era.

Overall, Everything Sucks! is a relatable and heartwarming coming-of-age story that will resonate with anyone who has ever felt like an outsider. With its diverse cast of characters, witty one-liners, and touching moments, the show is a must-watch for anyone looking for a feel-good series that celebrates the joys and challenges of growing up.
