“I Am Not Okay With This” takes risks but doesn’t go far enough

“I Am Not Okay With This” takes risks but doesn’t go far enough

To Netflix, nothing seems to parallel the perils of adolescence like telekinesis and murder. Eleven blows up things with her mind in “Stranger Things,” the repercussions of murder become clear in “The End of the F***ing World” and countless attempted and successful vengeance plots unfold in “The Politician.” Netflix’s new story of teenage angst, “I Am Not Okay with This,” isn’t as big and bold as these other examples. It’s not flashy and it doesn’t involve high-speed chases, which might put it closer along the lines of the trials of average, non-bloodthirsty, teens of the “Everything Sucks.” In true Netflix style, “I Am Not Okay with This” does still involve telekinesis, daddy issues and a distinct murder.
