'Not Okay' Review: A Perfect Companion Piece to ‘Nope’
While it initially sounds nothing like 'Nope,' the focus on recording/sharing everything—especially trauma—for profit makes Hulu's 'Not Okay' similar to Jordan Peele’s newest movie.

Riley gets stuck babysitting her younger sister. James shows up looking for her father, but Riley is looking for something herself. Manuel is looking to hire a new babysitter. Lola comes highly recommended from one of the neighbors, but what he doesn't know is that she wants to do more than babysit. John leaves for a meeting leaving Veronica to watch the baby. Veronica gets a phone call from her horny boyfriend convincing her to have phone sex. John walks in on a very wet and horny Veronica. Lara arrives at Anthony's house only to find out that she's not needed that night. Anthony gives her a ride back to her place. On the way Lara offers her body on the side to keep him happy about his shitty marriage.

Overall, 18 Presents feels more like a soap opera than a drama, and I feel bad for saying that since the concept is based off a tragic story (even though it’s loosely). I’m sure other people will find this film emotional for them, but as for me, it’s bland and forgettable.
