⭐⭐⭐½ (out of 5) Everything Sucks! – Teen awkwardness, VHS tapes, and the drama of growing up in standard definition.
“Everything Sucks!” is exactly what you expect — and that’s part of its charm. Set in the mid-’90s and centred on a group of lovable misfits in a high school AV club, it’s a nostalgic coming-of-age comedy that celebrates awkwardness, first crushes, and the glorious chaos of adolescence.
The show captures that authentic mix of cringe and heart, blending retro quirks with universal teenage struggles. It’s not trying to reinvent the genre; it just wants to remind you what it felt like to be young, uncertain, and recording your life on camcorders that weighed more than you did.
It’s funny, sweet, and occasionally touching — the kind of series that feels like rewatching an old home video: a little grainy, a little awkward, but impossible not to smile at.
Everything Sucks! doesn’t aim for high drama or big revelations — just honest nostalgia and plenty of heart. And for a show about an AV club, it definitely knows how to focus on what matters.
