Is I Am Not Okay With This Cancelled

Is I Am Not Okay With This Still MIA? Asking the Important Questions.

Let's be real, folks. We're all still a little bummed, right? About the untimely vanishing act of I Am Not Okay With This. It feels like ages ago since we last saw Sydney Novak's angsty superpowers.

The question burns: Is it cancelled? Well, officially, yes. Netflix gave it the axe back in 2020. A sad year for many reasons, including this show's demise.

So, Why Are We Still Talking About It?

Because it was good! Okay, maybe not good good. But good in that messy, relatable, kinda-makes-you-cringe-but-also-totally-get-it way. Who hasn't felt like an awkward teen with hidden powers (metaphorical or otherwise)?

And let's be honest, the chemistry between Sophia Lillis and Wyatt Oleff was electric. Even if their characters' romantic connection was a bit...complicated. We were all rooting for them (or maybe that's just me?).

Also, the soundtrack slapped. Seriously, whoever curated those songs deserves an award. Perfect angsty teen vibes.

Why Netflix Canceled I Am Not Okay With This

My (Possibly Unpopular) Opinion

Here's the thing. I think I Am Not Okay With This had potential. Bags of it! Sure, the first season wasn't perfect. It was a little rough around the edges. But that's part of what made it so endearing.

It felt real. Raw. Like a diary entry you accidentally left lying around. Maybe it needed some fine-tuning. Some character development. But those are things a second season could have provided!

I know, I know. Netflix giveth, and Netflix taketh away. But still! It stings a little. Especially when you see other shows getting renewed for, like, their tenth season. Cough (No shade to those shows...mostly).

What Could Have Been?

Imagine a season two where Sydney really embraced her powers. Where she learned to control them, maybe even use them for good! Or, you know, just to scare the bullies at school. Either way, it would have been entertaining.

And what about Stanley? He was such a quirky, lovable character. I wanted to see him find his own path, his own weird brand of happiness.

Plus, the cliffhanger! That ending left us with so many questions. Who was following Sydney? What was the deal with her dad? We may never know!

Acceptance (Maybe)

Look, I'm not saying Netflix made a mistake. Maybe the viewing numbers weren't there. Maybe the production costs were too high. Maybe the stars weren't aligned.

But a part of me will always wonder what I Am Not Okay With This could have become. It was a unique, flawed, and ultimately, unforgettable show. And I'm still not entirely okay with it being gone.

So, consider this a small act of remembrance. A tiny rebellion against the cancellation gods. I Am Not Okay With This, we miss you. Come back (somehow)!
