ComicBook.com’s Nicole Drum also enjoyed the series despite its flaws, saying “Even with the odd and disappointing mess that is the final episode, I Am Not Okay With This is still a gem of show that both humanizes some of the hidden struggles of everyday life while also creating a “comic book” style story that doesn’t feel that way at all. It’s a little sad, a little funny, a lot raw, and a good bit messy, a solid reminder that not everything is okay and that, itself, is okay.” You can find the full review here.
I Am Not Okay With This was created by Jonathan Entwistle and Christy Hall, and stars Sophia Lillis, Wyatt Oleff, Sofia Bryant, Kathleen Rose Perkins, Richard Ellis, Zachary S. Williams, and Aidan Wojtak-Hissong. You can check out the official description below.
