Prisa por vivir

I don't know any of the other actors, and I think they're great, all of them.

I do know and really love Stephen Fry.

I haven't ever suffered an eating disorder, nor has anyone close to me.

So I can't tell how realistic those parts of the series are.

I do know that 90% of those suffering from an ED do not have anorexia, and still almost 100% of tv shows, movies, documentaries about EDs are about only those 10% of sufferers. That's... just not right.

I did note that all of the characters were rich, that was quite strange/unusual.

Large, newly renovated, perfectly designed houses etc.

I only give a 9 or 10 rating to shows or movies that feel almost life changing, and this wasn't one of them, but I think it's really well done and for context I'm also a fan of Sex Education, Wednesday, Euphoria and Derry Girls.

This movie tackles very sensitive issue and this was able to show the good side and bad side of healing. Healing is not a very easy road, even you have people to support you, the can't help you enough.

Healing is a process, but it can also be a realization. It takes time but the world can wait.

Hope this reach to everyone struggling with mental illness.

I know that we are going through a lot right now, that even moral support can't lift us up anymore. This battle will be rough and difficult, but ourselves need us. Lets fight for ourselves.

Btw for a little background by me, i'm suffering from major depression.

I'm so surprised by the low rating of this show. I'm not usually into team shows but decided to give this one a try once I saw that it's about anorexia. What a beautiful show. Acting is great, story lines are a tad dramatic, but what teen dramas aren't dramatic? I think the did a great job of showing a side of anorexia that people don't really see; the loneliness, the damaged relationships. The show talks about interpersonal relationships and the healing journey. Overall I loved it, I'm glad I watched it, I think others should give it a try as well. I was hooked by the first episode. Also, the lead actress is a star and I can't wait to see what else she does.

Everything Now is well made and well acted, but will feel wholly unoriginal if you've seen other, stronger teen dramas. The premise of ED, getting out of a mental institution and making up for lost time, the plot and style are ripped straight from a show called My Mad Fat Diary. The visuals are ripped from Euphoria. The family story is ripped from My So-Called Life. The sexual dynamic is ripped from Skins.

If you haven't seen any of those other series, this one may grip you. It has more diversity than the aforementioned shows and most of the characters come from a well off background, offering an "aspirational" quality. So there's that.

Every creator takes inspiration from other art, but unfortunately here it feels like blatant plagiarism, as EN doesn't add much of a unique voice or perspective. Apparently it was made by a young nepo baby still finding her footing in TV, which explains a lot. Hopefully with time, the creator and show will find its voice and offer more than a carbon copy.

I loved the casting and the setting of this series. There's no gender segregation or Hollywood-style drama here; it simply portrays children and parents living their lives. Carli was particularly appealing, and I'm glad they didn't portray the East Asian girl as a stereotypical character.

By the way, it's clear that the characters are quite wealthy. With their huge, beautiful doors, spacious kitchen, wide bathroom, Koi pond, and annual trips to Greece(?) with their dad, they definitely come from privileged backgrounds. While some aspects may seem unrealistic, the heart of the story revolves around Mia's battle with an eating disorder.

Despite the somewhat 'unreal' elements, the kids and teens in the series are charming and vibrant. This drama is aimed at a youthful audience, and I appreciated it because it presents a vision of a better future. It avoids discussions of race and sexual orientation, creating a world where everyone is free to be themselves.
