The creator of the critically heralded graphic novel The End of the FXXXing World, Charles Forsman ’08 once again expertly channels teenage ethos in a style that evokes classic comics strips while telling a powerful story about the intense, and sometimes violent, tug of war between trauma and control. I Am Not Okay With This tackles familial strain, sexual confusion, and PTSD in Forsman’s signature straight-faced-but-humorous style and firmly stakes his place among the world’s best cartoonists. This marks Netflix’s second adaptation of Forsman’s work, following last year’s The End of the F***ing World. Both TV series are led by Jonathan Entwistle and Christy Hall.
