Second Netflix Original inspired by CCS alumni Charles Forsman ’08 graphic novel

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.
