Critics' reviews

"The twisted, efficient story that 'The End' tells is a nicely contained thing that requires no additional embellishment, and it should be binged and cherished in its tart glory."

Daniel Fienberg: The Hollywood Reporter
"It's weird, and it ends up being really wonderful (...) Lawther and Barden make 'World' work (...) They've got great chemistry (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"

Kelly Lawler: USA Today
"Here’s what this audacious eight-part series (...) does well: it shows you how rarely teenagers’ inner thoughts match their outer actions (...) You have to get past the first two episodes, which are kind of ugly."

Johanna Schneller: Toronto Star
"Totally convincing (...) It’s hard to decide who is more likable, James or Alyssa (...) It’s fabulous – comedy so dark that you can barely make out the comedy."

Sam Wollaston: The Guardian
"An effing triumph (...) The series as a whole (...) is a brilliant, concise and emotionally charged bit of British dramedy"

Ben Allen: Radio Times
"Strange, terrifying and touching (...) It's shocking in a way. Its nihilism is bracing. It is also brilliant, well worth your time (...) Both actors are terrific"

John Doyle: The Globe and Mail
