So I just finished watching The Edge of Seventeen and I was annoyed from the beginning. Hailee Steinfeld character Nadine is an annoying bratty 17 year old girl who seems to think she is the only one with problems.

The truth is she is very selfish and expects everyone to agree with her on everything. She makes bad decisions, gives an ultimatum to her one and only friend, treats her family like dog poop and then expects everyone to feel sorry for her.

I will say that Hailee Steinfeld is a great actress because I truly believed that her character was this bratty girl. Woody Harrelson is great and I was really hoping that the character Nadine would have some sort of redeeming qualities but I just didn't feel it.

Below is summary if TLDR: I've been perusing some TV shows online that are from all over the world but mostly English speaking ones unless there are subtitles; even ones that are no longer airing. I've been out of work due to illness for a while now & well I'm BORED. I stumbled on this great show "Moone Boy" & it is not only hysterical but really witty too. I love Martin (David Rawle)the kid this show centers around on. He has great comedy timing & his expressions are priceless. He reminds me of when Jake (Angus T. Jones) was young on Two & Half Men. The writers always gave Jake the best lines especially the one liners & he was adorable. Martin's character is the same. I also love his relationship with his family but most of all his imaginary friend Sean played by Chris O'Dowd; who BTW is hysterical in his own right but plays such a great character, friend, confident & partner in crime to Martin's naive, funny, witty kid. Plus they are both smart-asses & have some of the best exchanges. I highly recommend this show. It is based in Ireland & takes place in the 1980s. What more could you ask for? The retro look w/the 80s props are the best. I am a child of the 80s as I was born in 1975 so this brings back a lot of memories. There are only 6 episodes for the 1st season but I guess that is common for shows based out of the UK & Ireland but it has been picked up for a 2nd season. I can't wait to watch the rest of season 1 & looking forward to season 2. Hope you laugh & enjoy this show as much as I do. Cheers, BGG TLDR: Great funny show about a kid named Martin & his "friend" Sean living in Ireland during the 1980s. A must watch, very funny.
