The delightfully bleak, obsidian-black The End Of The F***ing World deserved its return for a second series on Channel 4. But it was a poor idea, for any binge-watchers (and you'll be tempted), to have promised full availability, after broadcast, on All 4: it's a dreadful, mismanaged, ugly clunking beast of a "free" platform, and the ads will drive you tootsie. But... aww, sweet, clever, murderous James and Alyssa are really back! And joined in their vulnerable teen anger by newcomer Bonnie, a great Naomi Ackie, who at midweek count had managed to bump off a mere three, admittedly appalling, souls! Teen noir with savage class. Kids will love it.

Review - The End of the Fxxxing World: series 2

Did we need a second series? Not really, but I'm glad one exists.

I couldn't hate The End of the F***ing World

Writer Charlie Covell located all the plot holes that might have left an audience in doubt, and returned to neatly sew them up.

Indra Warnes, The New Statesman, 7th November 2019

A confident, even audacious opening to season two of this pitch-black comedy-drama. Via an entire episode dedicated to another character (Naomi Ackie's blank yet somehow remarkably expressive Bonnie), we are filled in on a whole new strand of relevant backstory and yet, deliciously, hardly any the wiser about where the series might be going. It is a beautifully observed little tale that pulls off the admirable trick of being desperately bleak while remaining very funny indeed.

The End of the F***ing World review

Coal-black comedy makes a killer return.

Rebecca Nicholson, The Guardian, 4th November 2019

The End of the F***ing World, review

TV's blackest comedy is as dry, wry and hopelessly romantic as ever.

Michael Hogan, The Telegraph, 4th November 2019

The End of the F***ing World season 2 review

Two fingers up to Romeo and Juliet endings.
