"Within a week of its debut, “Adolescence” became Netflix’s top-charting TV show, with critics and viewers lauding it as a critique on social media-boosted toxic masculinity and its role in the teenage experience. It’s one of the first scripted projects to confront the rising cultural influence of the “manosphere,” a network of online spaces that promote rigid notions of masculinity and espouse misogynistic stereotypes about women."
" The story centers on Jamie (played by Owen Cooper), whose murder of his classmate Katie sends shockwaves through their English suburb. Each episode is shot in one continuous take and focuses on a different aspect of the fallout."
" Over four episodes, “Adolescence” explores themes of gender, misogyny, violence and extremism, and how the “manosphere” can influence online and offline behaviors, particularly in young men. Often in these online spaces, boys and men share messages around “alpha male” and “incel” culture."
" The show offers a harrowing look at how young boys can be particularly vulnerable to this kind of messaging."

I haven’t watched the show yet, but I’ve heard people are victimising this disgusting incel boy who murdered an innocent girl. The infatlization of Men and Boys in our society is diabolical, blaming it on his “mental health” “loneliness” “bullying” This boy deserves no sympathy. A lot of people get bullied but they don’t go out of their way to murder people. Theirs no justification for that. Incel boys should be ostracised and kept out of society, or even being near Women and Girls.
