Everything Now (2023)
Unlikeable characters
I think this has the potential to be good but the main character is so unlikeable. Yes she has a serious health problem but everyone around her gives up their lives to understand and help her. The writers don't seem to be able to navigate the line between showing the real problems that teens face and that empathy can co-exist. This is typical of teen Netflix dramas in that the main character says awful things to her friends and family and that they forgive them. It's just very unrealistic. It's really hard to root for the main character as she pushes everyone's buttons and acts like a toxic friend who drains all the other characters' energy and time.
Who Is Erin Carter? (2023)
Random
British teacher with a Swedish accent manages to become a teacher without any qualifications, references or criminal records checks. She witnesses a holdup in a supermarket and despite not having been in a fight for years is suddenly an excellent ninja and saves the day. Although, she is in a completely different country, the criminal gang that are carrying out the hold-up just happen to be a gang that she used to run with when she was in the UK. Though she manages to bash one of the gang over the head with a jar of tomato sauce, he was able to recognise her. The main character Erin despite having lived in Barcelona for several years is unable to carry out a conversation in Catalan or Spanish. Erin is joined by rest of the cast who are equally strangely-accented and poorly scripted. The story is random and pretty unbelievable.
