'The End of the F***ing World' has to be the most quotable show on TV right now.

There are many things to love about The End of the F***ing World but one of the top reasons has to be the script. It is literally jam-packed with Insta caption-worthy zingers and thought-provoking ruminations on life, love, sex, relationships and everything in between.

The show's lead characters, James and Alyssa, played by Alex Lawther and Jessica Barden, take it in turns to narrate the spiralling chaos of their ill-fated road trip together. You catch the tone - bleak, twisted and hilarious - from their opening lines. "I’m James, I’m 17, and I’m pretty sure I’m a psychopath”, offers James by way of a introduction, while Jessica's ballsy first line is a 'treat 'em mean, keep 'em keen' approach to wooing James. "I've seen you skating. You're pretty shit". Needless to say, we were hooked from the get go.
