In 2005, John Green’s novel 'Looking for Alaska' debuted. 14 years later, the teenage favorite is entering the world as a Hulu miniseries, premiering tomorrow!
, Froseth is having a great 13 months. Froseth’s Alaska, in both Green’s novel and Hulu’s series, is the prototypical YA manic pixie dream girl. Like many Green heroines, Alaska is more a beautiful puzzle for her romantic lead than a person. Miles' only clues to solving the object of his crush are a collection of facts: Alaska’s death-obsessed quips, her library of unread books so big it’s more of a home, her passion for hard drinking and chain smoking, and.
After nearly two decades of watching shy white guys like Miles pine for inscrutable waifs like Alaska, it’s easy to feel like this dynamic has been beaten to death by a ukulele. At least Froseth plays her character with a knowing and willful hatred for the narrative Miles has foisted upon on her. Here, Alaska can be mean, jealous, and manipulative, all with a glance.
Still, the series isn’t all teenage navel gazing. It can’t be. Each episode ends with a countdown to some mysterious and seemingly awful event. If you’ve read the book, you know what that is. If you haven’t, I cannot stress enough how much you should not Google what the twist is — at least if you plan to binge. Those search results will turn this crescendoing journey into something much darker.
