Mia & Alison Everything Now s01e04

[tremendoustenderness]

Mia has been out of inpatient treatment all of five minutes and is already pulling the baddest bitches (Alison and Carli).

Further prove that bisexuals love nothing more than twitchy, androgynous rocker vibes, as Alison put it.

everything now netflix

some spoilers!! and apologies for the long post.

i honestly really enjoyed it! it was almost like a skins/euphoria but imbued with like a heartstopper/sex education vibe in the sense that it dealt with serious teenage issues/mental health but light enough that it doesn't weigh down on you. my character thoughts:

mia was so infuriating almost at all times. obviously under the circumstances, it makes sense but there's this level of likeability that was missing for me. maybe it was the writing or the acting who knows but in my mind it's like this: im making an albeit an unfair comparison to effy from skins or even rue from euphoria, but they were battling their demons and making all the wrong choices but there was still this level of “i want to root for them” that's missing with mia personally.

in a similar vein with alison, she is meant to be this popular rich mean girl archetype who surprises you but obviously in the first half of the season she's supposed to be kind of unlikeable but i found her very endearing. as for the relationship, alison and mia DO NOT belong together. like at all. i am not rooting for them. alison in a way forced a relationship with mia and then also mia was like too scared to say anything about it. its clear that alison liked mia waaaaay more than mia liked alison. like carli says in the last ep as well, “to learn to not be a fantasy to each other”, alison needs to take mia off this pedastal she has for her. i'm very interested to learn more about her character outside of mia though if they hopefully continue the show. i have a feeling that we are supposed to think that she and cameron hooked up at the end or something but i'm rlly hoping its a red herring.

carli is also a character i would love to learn more about. she definitely has more chemistry with mia and i love her for standing her ground against mia, as she needs to help herself before she can be in a healthy relationship. but i will say it was pretty shitty stringing cameron along.

speaking of cameron, i didn't quite expect to like his character as much as i did. in a way his arc in the season is battling toxic masculinity as he kinda seems to come off as this laid back, bro kinda guy but he cares and loves so deeply. it wasn't right calling bec a "sket". i'm not british but obviously its like equivalent to slut, and im very glad he owned up to it. i'm also really interested to know more about his family and stuff.

i love bec as well. she deserves all the happiness in the world. im glad she was able to air out her things with mia, albeit in a very treacherous way and i also love how her mom was supportive of the abortion. i'm honestly kinda tired seeing the mom kicking out the daughter for getting pregnant trope so it was nice to see a mom just being supportive. bec is just such a wonderful friend and mia honestly has a lot to make up for. re not telling mia about her and cam, it was honestly frustrating seeing mia be so petty. i understand that its a big secret and she felt like everyone was hiding things from her but its also right to have secrets amongst friends, idk that really stuck out to me.

will for me had the weakest arc as in it wasn't the most interesting to me. don't get me wrong, i love the character but it just wasnt giving a whole lot to me. i recognize him as more than the comic relief but also at the same time he was stirring the pot in a lot of the arguments / blowups the group had, consciously and unconsciously. though i will say will x theo <3 but comedic duo of the century is will x alison. the little song they did for mia's birthday is stuck in my head.

tldr; great characters and great show. it's really hard to find a show about teens as a 25yo living in a 16yo body that i enjoy and don't find annoying. i just love how each character was able to be so nuanced despite being an ensemble cast.

but knowing netflix's track record it's gonna get cancelled because a) it's good b) has wlw content... but i really hope not.

Bro, Mia did my girl Alison DIRTY

Tried to toot it and boot it, but just accepted Alison wasn’t going to leave her alone and fell into a ‘relationship’ even though she was thinking about another girl the entire time.. And on top of the cheating thing, Alison was the only person that didn’t get an in person apology.. A LETTER?!

Just grimey 😭

Watching everything now on netflix and mia is such a frustrating protagonist but thats not a bad thing it just means she has somewhere to go and grow beyond just her ed.

I think the show does a good job in showing where her bad behavior comes from and understanding it without acting like that excuses it. Or at least i felt i understood a lot why she was acting the way she was. I would like to see a second season where she really focuses on her self, instead of seeking 'normal' through the list or another person.

Idk if this unpopular but i don't like her with carli, and i dont think it will work as she's more of fantasy she can project on. So its not going to work, she needs to really care for herself and take responsibilty for the shit shes done and make amends. Especially with my girl alison she didnt deserve any of that.

Everything Now is so good at getting us to both fiercely live Mia and be Uber protective of her in one scene and then low key hate her in others . I wish more shows would do this with the main character because this is exactly how real life is and I feel like it would be so good for Stan culture to be exposed to this type of representation of main characters

Mia & Carli Everything Now s01e07

[tremendoustenderness]

Everything Now (2023) is just a bunch of messy bisexuals with severe commitment issues.

wait there are people out there thinking carli didn’t have a crush on mia since the beginning?? like what do you mean?? have we watched the same show???

[made-this-cause-why-not]

Currently at ep 6 of everything now and I ofc looked on here around ep 2 to see the general conscious (allison being into her was so obvious from the moment she got mad when Mia said she had a date and I had to double check) and let me just say- y'all need to be okay with shitty protagonist. Like- I get wanting a character to relate to and project your self onto but why are we hating Mia? I know what she does cause of spoilers and even then- is she not allowed to be human. Yes cheating is shitty but people are shitty. Also- there only being 8 fics on ao3 is actually killing me, I am distraught.
