Retrieved on: 
Mercoledì, Ottobre 4, 2023

Netflix couldn’t have chosen a more resonant title than Everything Now for their new comedy drama series.

The image of eating disorders

    • But eating disorders cut across ethnic boundaries.
    • Although there can never be any simple correlation between popular media representations of eating disorders and reality, they play a role in shaping wider understandings of eating problems.
    • Everything Now should be praised for recognising that it’s not just white, middle-class girls who experience eating disorders.

Nuanced representation

    • Everything Now is one of the first TV shows about eating disorders that did not make me cringe.
    • Switching between flashbacks of her time in the clinic and her present life at school and home, Mia’s voiceover communicates her struggles and anxieties.
    • As the camera pans over the nibbles and drinks at a party she asks: “How can they just eat and drink?

Representing recovery

    • I need to show them I’m better.
    • That I can be normal.” She is both present and not present – one of her peers yet so separate.
    • Everything Now depicts positive moments of recovery too, in ways that are touching and insightful.
    • Cut through the noise with a carefully curated selection of the latest releases, live events and exhibitions, straight to your inbox every fortnight, on Fridays.
