Just finished episode 3 of this - you thought it was pointless?! My jaw was on the floor!Adolescence
They probably could have done it in 2 episodes. The first 2 were really good, then it was just a bit pointless for the last 2.
Adolescence

I think that was the point.I hoped that there was going to be a twist or something so was disappointed. The acting was brilliant for the scenes with the psychologist but the last episode was a bit drab imo.
Or is it a tool to bring in censorship of social media?I think that was the point.
The banality of evil and all that.

Adolescence writer Jack Thorne backs Smartphone Free Childhood group
Writer joins more than 100,000 parents who pledge to withhold smartphones until children are at least 14www.theguardian.com
Note the writer Jack Thorne also penned 'Toxic Town' (which I liked because it was closer to real life) and "National Treasure". I am not completely down on him.
Nice Avatar btw.
The drama is fictional, Government overreach is real and dangerous as we saw only 5 years ago.I think it’s a tool to stop people going off the deep end on “doing their own research” and ending up with weird beliefs like extreme misogyny or that TV writers are part of a plot to stop them posting about ancient aliens online.
Self radicalisation, particularly of the first generation raised online, is a new phenomenon and you’d expect media to explore it.
The fact we can’t have the conservation about whether a piece of new tech is suitable for young people without people worried that their chemtrails group will be shut down is the exact issue.

Huge if trueThe drama is fictional
Agreed to an extent. Yet, this seems like more of a moral panic over the ‘incels’, ‘the manosphere’ and ‘that Andrew Tate shite’ because it’s an easy target.
What’s more uncomfortable for people to deal with, in the context of ‘online radicalisation’, is Islamist propaganda. Especially since the show was inspired by real life event and the perpetrators of the violence were not weirdo incels. The closest thing we’ve had to exploring this problem is ‘Four Lions’.
This actually happened on Saturday. 16th birthday party gatecrash and 2 knife incidents.Huge if true
Four Lions is the first movie I took my current squeeze to.Agreed to an extent. Yet, this seems like more of a moral panic over the ‘incels’, ‘the manosphere’ and ‘that Andrew Tate shite’ because it’s an easy target.

Netflix drama Adolescence has become the first streaming show to top the UK's weekly TV ratings, beating BBC shows like The Apprentice and Death in Paradise in the latest official rankings., external
The first episode of Adolescence was watched by 6.45 million people in its first week, according to ratings body Barb.
I rewatched Dead Man’s Shoes earlier this week. Fuck me, its as harrowing as I remembered. Christ.
Of a similar bent, Dark Water is also a good watchJust finishing Toxic Town on Netflix, quite good, a real life drama about birth defects in babies caused by heavy metal contamination when the old steel works were being redeveloped.
Strong cast, Jodie Whittaker, Rory Kinnear, Robert Carlyle.
Yep and on the subject of corprate greed and illegal behavior this time in the pharmacutical industry so is 'Dopesick' about OxyContin.Of a similar bent, Dark Water is also a good watch
It's a dramatisation about the case bought against Du Pont in the 90s or possibly 00s
Big business can be scrupulous!Yep and on the subject of corprate greed and illegal behavior this time in the pharmacutical industry so is 'Dopesick' about OxyContin.
I’ve actually not heard of The Virtues…I’ll give it a go. Although “more crushing” than Dead Man’s Shoes doesn’t bode well.Brutal film. Don't think I've seen any of Meadows' work that wasn't brilliant. Has he done anything since the Virtues? That was even more crushing than Dead Man's Shoes, I thought.
I’m hoping for a 1996 This is England , but I don’t think that will happen just yetBrutal film. Don't think I've seen any of Meadows' work that wasn't brilliant. Has he done anything since the Virtues? That was even more crushing than Dead Man's Shoes, I thought.

As I was watching it I was telling myself, “and this isn’t even the worst bit…there’s about 4 increasingly more harrowing moments to come”!Best British low budget of all time and still to this day, remains Paddy Considine`s best film ( imo )
Stayed with me for a long time after watching and even now I`m reluctant to re-watch it.

Unless you come up against Bob looks easy enough

Are in a house, they all kind of drop stories or performances to make each other laugh , if you laugh twice your out of the game
jimmy Carr and rosin conaty are watching them in a different room
Richard Adoyade seems to be the toughest one to crack although Bob nearly got him
What happens when things go woke, Gal Gadot is the only reason it would get any decent ratings and it’s a shame she’s getting hate.
What happens when things go woke...
Yeah that’s true I guessIt could just be that it's a bit sh*t.
Could very much be this.It could just be that it's a bit sh*t.
