All Men Are Perverts: With the exception of James, his dad, Frodo, and Emil the convenience store clerk, every man on the show is a pervert. And even James gets close in the very early part of the series, what with plotting to kill Alyssa.

comment
Negated Moment of Awesome: Most of them. James is a good driver, but he crashes the car...which then blows up as Alyssa's reassuring him and they're creeping through the woods. James saves Alyssa from Koch by stabbing him to death. Asshole Victim aside, the scene is extremely nightmarish, James is almost instantly sick, and Alyssa is clearly deeply disturbed.

Tempting Fate: After she and James agree not to have sex just yet in the last episode, Alyssa thinks to herself that there's no need to be in a big rush. After all, they've got the rest of their lives. Not even twenty-four hours later, the police catch up to them, and James is possibly killed.

comment
The Sociopath: Subverted. James thinks he's this, and some of his behaviour and characteristic certainly indicate he may be, but ultimately it is revealed his lack of feeling anything is due to the trauma of seeing his mother commit suicide in front of him. Ultimately Alyssa brings out the feelings he thought he didn't have.

Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Alyssa's dad seems like a loving and caring (if immature) father at first (for one that abandoned his daughter, anyway), but later betrays her by calling the cops on her and James for the reward money. It also turns out that it wasn't him but Alyssa's mother that was sending her the birthday cards, erasing his only redeeming act.

Limited Wardrobe: After starting their roadtrip, James and Alyssa wear the same clothes for several days in a row because they didn't pack before leaving and lack money. James spends the majority of season two wearing the suit he wore at his father's funeral, and Alyssa wears her wedding dress after she ran away from her own wedding.

Just Like Robin Hood: Alyssa's dad is like this, by her description. He taught her that, should she have to steal, robbing big chains is okay, since they can afford it and are "The Man," but robbing small, independent businesses is unacceptable. Then we meet him and it turns out he's really, really not.

Hidden Depths: According to Alyssa, James is a surprisingly good cook. James reveals this is because all his father eats is unhealthy junk food, so he either had to learn to cook for himself or get type-2 diabetes. He's also proficient at breaking into cars, hotwiring engines, and hair-styling.

Kick the Dog
 The End of the F***ing World / int_34dcfc96
comment
Kick the Dog: Alyssa's horrible father does this at least twice. He drunkenly and fueled by rage runs a dog over in the road and abandons it, dying, with Alyssa and James. Also, he calls the police on his own daughter, solely for the reward. Which would be bad enough, but he's the first non-James person she's felt safe enough to tell the truth that Koch tried to rape her. Alyssa's horrible stepdad doesn't just basically molest her at a garden party in full view of her mother, he also tells her that nobody wants her when she has second thoughts and phones.

Deceased Parents Are the Best
 The End of the F***ing World / int_3866ab91
comment
Deceased Parents Are the Best: James adores his mom and we see many happy flashbacks of them together, although she committed suicide in front of him as a child. However, this later gets subverted as we see that James's dad loves him a great deal, but he just can't express it, and he's actually there for him when he needs it. A variant subversion with Alyssa, whose dad is AWOL (see Disappeared Dad). She adores him, but it later turns out that he abandoned her and his "cards" to her were actually written by her mum.

Character Development: At the start of the series, neither of the main characters are particularly likeable. James is a cold, calculating supposed psycho who wants to upgrade from killing animals to killing people, and Alyssa is a rude, mouthy and hostile girl. However, as the series progresses, the two become exceedingly more likeable, with the sad and emotional reasons behind as to why they act the way they do coming to light.

comment
Skewed Priorities: When seeing security footage of her runaway daughter robbing a gas station with her boyfriend, Gwen murmurs, "What has she done to her hair?" Justified, as she's clearly in shock. In an oddly heartwarming example, Alyssa is temporarily distracted when she finds out it's James' birthday in the last episode of the first season. Rather than worry about how they're about to be arrested, she comments that she wishes James had told her; she'd have gotten him a present.

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Teri Donaghue. She's quite short and abrasive towards her partner Eunice, but it's ultimately made clear that she cares about her. Seemingly, Alyssa's mother, though a lot of people disagree due to the level of abuse she lets be levelled at her daughter. Despite all of this, though, she wrote the birthday cards to Alyssa for years.

Heroic Sacrifice: In Episode 8, James tells the police that he and he alone is responsible for the crime spree, and even instructs Alyssa to say he kidnapped her — which she refuses to do. The Bolivian Army Ending leaves it unclear if his sacrifice is fatal, but the last moments of the episode make it clear that he's willing to die to ensure Alyssa's freedom.

The Unfavorite: Alyssa feels like she's this to her infant half-sisters. In the case of her stepfather, it's certainly true, but whether or not it's true when it comes to her mother is unclear. Either way, when the police come round, they definitely notice that the mantel is covered in photos of the babies... but there's not one photo of Alyssa. Ouch.

Sex as Rite-of-Passage
 The End of the F***ing World / int_85cc4dbc
comment
Sex as Rite-of-Passage: Alyssa is very eager to have a sexual relationship, preferably with James. James isn't particularly interested, at least not until he falls in love with her, and tends to "just go along," though Alyssa isn't interested if he's not into it. However, the trope is inverted, as Alyssa backs out of what looks like it'll be Their First Time. The teens mutually agree to wait until she's in a better frame of mind, not because they're too immature for sex, but because they've both grown up enough to make an actually mature choice.

comment
Parental Neglect: Alyssa's mom Gwen focuses on building up her new family with Tony, to the point where all the photos in the living room are of the twins, and Alyssa isn't included. Alyssa is instead treated more like the help and is recruited to serve at the family party. It's ultimately subverted, as it turns out that Gwen sent Alyssa the birthday cards that were supposedly from her father. Also, at least some of Gwen's neglect seems to be a consequence of the clearly emotionally abusive relationship she has with Alyssa's stepfather Tony.

Lets Wait Awhile: After being eager to have sex with James for the whole series, Alyssa gets her chance in the last episode, when James is now into it. However, as soon as they start to go beyond kissing, she has a flashback to her near-assault at the hands of Clive, and pulls away, saying she's not ready. James is fine with that, and the two agree to wait a bit before falling asleep on the beach together.

What You Are in the Dark: Alyssa can easily escape while the store clerk is preoccupied with a man missing his young daughter. When she goes to leave, she sees the lost little girl. Nobody else is present, and Alyssa could easily make her getaway rather than risk being caught and arrested, not only for theft but for her and James' other crimes. Instead, Alyssa brings the girl back to her incredibly worried father.

Abusive Parents
 The End of the F***ing World / int_b11ac9f5
comment
Abusive Parents: All three of Alyssa's parental figures are some form of abusive: her mother neglects her, preferring to focus on her new babies she has with her second husband, her father is a drug-dealing alcoholic burnout who uses the kids and rats them out to the police for a reward, and her stepfather is an abusive asshole who makes creepy come-ons to her. Subverted with James' dad. While James and Alyssa might see him as a bit of prick and he doesn't really seem able to understand James, it later becomes obvious he is also struggling immensely with the death of his wife and genuinely loves his son despite his shortcomings. Bonnie's mother has been abusive all her life towards her family. As a result, both her husband and her daughter were too afraid to disclose their failures to her (her husband losing his job and Bonnie failing all her exams), which led to the dissolution of the family and to Bonnie's lack of love making her an easy prey for Clive.

Bonnie. She clearly has some severe problems due to her Freudian Excuse, but the only time she actually hurt someone was one of Clive's victims. He convinced her that she was about to hit him with a False Rape Accusation... which the audience, and James and Alyssa, know was not fake at all.

Lighter and Softer: Make no mistake, it's just as dark as the comic it was adapted from. Some of the darker aspects were dropped in the long run, like Teri being a murderous cultist.

Bad People Abuse Animals: James began killing animals as a kid, and is looking to move up to people. As a sign of his Character Development, he later can't bring himself to put down an injured dog, and Alyssa has to do it instead.

comment
Reasonable Authority Figure: Emil takes his job seriously, and doesn't take kindly to catching Alyssa shoplifting. However, when she finds a lost little girl and brings her back to the store, rather than running away, he decides to let it slide and even gives her a snack and a drink before letting her off with a warning. It probably also helps that the only thing Alyssa stole was a clean pair of underwear — so he probably figured out she stole them because she really needed them.

Worst Aid: When Leslie is stabbed in the leg with a steak knife by Alyssa, he tries to remove the blade, only to be told by DC Noon that it is probably best he leaves it in until medical help arrives. However, he later pulls it out anyway, and is last seen bleeding out. In season 2, Bonnie gets a massive cut after the corpse of the hotel owner she accidentally shot pushes her into the antler of a deer head mounted on the wall. She treats it with a whole bunch of pain killers, and it doesn't really work.

 The End of the F***ing World / int_e5fd8bc2
comment
Hate Sink: Alyssa’s stepfather is nasty and emotionally abusive towards both Alyssa and her mother, telling the former everyone would be happy if she just disappeared and it’s implied that there are sexual undertones to his attitude towards her. He also bullies her mother Into to being neglectful towards her. Clive Koch is a creepy, sexually aggressive and manipulative serial rapist who tries to rape Alyssa and has a toxic relationship with Bonnie and his emotional abuse and taking advantage of her naivety drives her insane.

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished
 The End of the F***ing World / int_eb8f64a6
comment
No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: Subverted when Alyssa brings a lost child back to the store she just shoplifted from. The security guard brings her back up to his office, and it temporarily looks like he's still going to call the police... but then he doesn't, sending her off with a snack and a stern, "Stop stealing." She immediately then steals something additional that she doesn't actually need and throws away right after leaving the store. Unfortunately, played straight for Eunice, the DC who wants to give the kids the benefit of the doubt and believes they were acting in self-defense. For her trouble, she gets Pistol Whipped and knocked out.

Useless Bystander Parent
 The End of the F***ing World / int_ec1572fb
comment
Useless Bystander Parent: Alyssa's mother seems to genuinely care for Alyssa, but doesn't even open her mouth when Tony violently tells Alyssa to stay away after he groped her at a party and she ran away. Played with in James's dad. He seems to be this (and Alyssa's mother accuses him of being this), but he is actually extremely protective of James, refusing to report him for violently attacking him or stealing the car. Which ultimately would've been for the best.

Have I Mentioned I Am Sexually Active Today?: James claims to be sexually experienced when talking to Alyssa, but after she admits she's a virgin, he confesses that he's one, as well. Although she never outright claims to have had sex before, Alyssa is bold and forward enough about sex that James seems genuinely surprised when he finds out she hasn't.

Love Overrides the Law: James murders the professor in self-defence out of love for Alyssa, and they go on the run. James gets shot and Alyssa attacks Eunice because of their determination that they won't be separated. While it seems like they're facing a very dire punishment, in Season 2, James only gets probation, seemingly because the judge took into account his motives.

James adores his mom and we see many happy flashbacks of them together, although she committed suicide in front of him as a child. However, this later gets subverted as we see that James's dad loves him a great deal, but he just can't express it, and he's actually there for him when he needs it.
