Everything Now

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.

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.

Topics likes this are often sensitive and hard to discuss this show has managed to exhibit this topic properly and gave in the facts as well as for a good reflection on the situation from both parties the main character and the family. This show is immaculate and mature in the aspects of anorexia and it's effects mentally and physically. This show has plot twists that make you think twice before jumping in conclusions there several factors that make this show different from others that I have watched that talk about this same topic everything now is a show that embodies the of anorexia and effects that does not only affect you but also your family.

I do really enjoy teenage dramas, but what I couldn't understand is why all these amazing loving caring cool friends would care SO much for Mía , who is in general not a likeable person. She is not interesting, she doesn't have a big personality, she is not nice to them, she is most of the show pretty quiet actually (other than the voice in her head we keep hearing) her character is boring and overall not interesting. I ended up watching the show for all of the other characters. I did find it very similar to Euphoria in a very soft way, but not as interesting or dramatic which makes it more real cause these are just kids.

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.
