Adolescence | Netflix

Actually yes, I could not understand why, whatever happened previous to the murder, be it online bulllying, bad parenting etc etc could lead to an apparently normal lad brutally murdering a teenage girl, most people are not capable of such violence without being wired wrong in the first place but you are obviously far more intelligent than me.......

Episdoe 3 did a pretty good job of going through why he did it. It might upset some users as Andrew Tate isn't mentioned once in that episode

Maybe in your bubble you don't experience killings by what appears to be normal good kids, but it definitely happens. You only have to watch jcs on YouTube to see the perfectly normal girl killed by a typical normal guy/ex/current boyfriend, and the events leading up to it.

Yes I told you the youtube station I watch. Did you misread? Perhaps this is the issue. My post was very short and can be reread and you missed the channel I suggested. 4 hours of TV, I guess you'd miss loads

Perhaps you need the link given to you as an example?

There's many videos of examples like this online.

BTW jcs is one of the most interesting cha nels in this genre I really recommend their videos.

Yeah I know all that. Methinks people shouting “propaganda” don’t actually understand what the word means. Much like using the term “woke” as an insult.

I’d love to know what @Drizmod thinks the writers and Netflix are trying to make me think from watching the show.

Why would it not be? The themes of teenagers growing up with social media, parenting and youth/school violence are hardly exclusive to the UK.

Indeed the themes are semi universal, it's just the setting of the show is sooooo British, I didn't think it would resonate in USA, for example.

I'd say it shows how out of touch she sounds to be honest.

Nick Ferrari asked Kemi a week before about it, and she had the same talking point as the morons here who said it had been race swapped from a real life event, and Islamic terror was more of an issue in society.

What has one thing got to do with the other?

The series was annouced in March 2024 under a conservative government.

Production started in July. Labour had been in government for either -4 days or (at maximum) 27 days.

Strange that a forum search shows the first post mentioning 'Labour' in this thread to be yours Vince....

The idea that the Tories haven't been complicit in the disgraceful travesty that is state censorship and the attempts to expand such provisions and ridiculous enforcement of laws such as S.127 of the Communications Act 2003 is obviously nonsense.

She called out the absolute nonsense around thise series.

You're, as is often the case, trying to have it 'both ways'

Adolescence is either an attempt at portraying a real pressing societal problem in which case it's nonsence because we really don't have a problem in the UK with 13 year old white boys stabbing girls as portrayed that needs a big societal conversation to 'solve'.

Or it's a dramatisation of a very unlikely scenario, even within youth knife crime, and should be treated as such.

I’m surprised she held back the laughter when Naga called it a “documentary”.

Watching it, Kemi was the one who said "it isn't a documentary" and Naga just seemed to re-use on that word subconsciously.

Naga knows it isn't a documentary as she first corrected Kemi who said it was a "movie" and Naga said it was a 4 part series.

That clip conviently missed off this

A third of teachers reported pupil misogyny last week - survey

Teachers also told a survey commissioned by BBC News they feel ill-equipped to tackle the issue.
